Harris was able to earn something like 90% of the freshly counted ballots to eke out a victory...then we'll see.

Let’s jump into the wayback machine, shall we?

All through late 2020, COVID deaths were rising- eventually killing over 1 million Americans.

The Biden campaign hammered a consistent message to all voters: Be safe. Think seriously about voting by mail or ballot drop boxes.

Meanwhile Trump was encouraging his followers to avoid the crooked drop boxes and flood the polling places on election day. COVID was increasingly being portrayed by Republicans as a joke, a deep state ploy to keep people at home……

So sure enough, a large proportion of Democrats opted for safety and dropped their ballots in the mail. My wife and I certainly did. Remember, vaccines weren’t available yet.

And Republicans, many without masks, flooded polling places on election day. It was their way, I suppose, of owning the libs.

So what happened when the votes were counted?

As expected, AND AS HAD BEEN CAREFULLY EXPLAINED AND PREDICTED, the majority of votes cast on election day were counted first in most states, and Trump took the lead on election night. It was at that point, before midnight, that Trump Declared victory, and declared that the absentee ballots were crooked as hell and Tge vote count should be stopped.

The overall percentage of Democratic votes AMONG the absentee votes may not have been 90%, but it was high, AS HAD BEEN EXPECTED.

We wondered why Trump hammered away at the message for his followers to vote in person while a pandemic was raging, and we strongly suspect that one of his many pronged strategy to overturn the election was to THROW OUT THE ABSENTEE BALLOTS.

This time he realizes that that particular strategy doesn’t work, so now he’s alternating between telling his base to vote in person/vote by mail. So I suspect that this time the vote count of absentee ballots will be more evenly distributed between Dems/Repubs.

A lot of the avenues that were open to him in 2020 to subvert the election have been closed, so it will be interesting to see how he tries to pull off the steal this time if he loses. That comment he dropped at MSG about the secret he shared with Mike Johnson (to be revealed) suggests an attempt may be coming to involve the Congress.

But who knows? Trump has already revealed himself to be someone willing to use any means, legal or illegal, to retain power.

We must be ready for anything.
