    I was just reading that there are nearly 9K military overseas ballots which haven't been received or counted in Ga yet... I figure the military doesn't like this goofus any more than the rest of us, but could still be a factor...

    Meh.. VA has voted D every election since 2004... I'd say we are no longer even a purple state...

    But was very happy my 10th district put Comstock out of our misery in 2018

    Disappointed Dr. Webb didn't get the 5th, but that is one big-assed district, which goes from Rt 66 to NC.... long way to go before educated voters reach some of those places...

    Okay, I'm not going to get as specific as district but we are neighbors. I've probably run into you on the Metro without knowing it, lol. I have cabin fever because the museums are not open at full force. I love spending weekends on the National Mall at least once a month. I can't wait to get back to the Smithsonian events. If you mean Jim Webb, he's a respectable candidate. Barbara Comstock seems like a nice lady but she's in the wrong Party.

    I'm trying to work out if: people are genuinely ignorant about how US elections work; so brainwashed by their devotion to Trump that the treat everything he & his other supporters say as truth; or are just lying. Perhaps it is a mixture of all three.

    Vote counting ALWAYS takes days, sometimes weeks. There is NOTHING new about this. The only change this time is that it is taking longer in more places due to the high number of postal votes.

    The scale of the deliberate disinformation going on at the moment is truly depressing.

    Doubtful... we are still a bit too far out for regular Metro (although coming soon)... I generally only take Metro to go down to the occasional Caps game, including the parade in 2018

    Funny you mention Smithsonian... Just yesterday, my kid said he wanted to go visit the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space museum on 28 again sometime soon. Took him several years ago, and I doubt much has changed, but it's a nice visit if you've never hit that one..

    We go right at 4pm, because it's free to park... haven't checked pandemic rules, but I know it's open...

    What makes you think I'm a lefty?
    The environment is not a left/right issue anywhere in the world except the US.

    I heard Trump just sued to stop the count in Pennsylvania because one of the counters in Bucks county was left handed....

    Trump is about to speak on TV. Someone finally convinced him he needs to counter Biden.

    Will he show some empathy for the current state of affairs? Respect the electoral process?
    Or just more dictatorial threats?

    Hold on to your seat.

    Cite your evidence. As far as is being reported, there is zero evidence of fraud of any kind, anywhere.

    Even Fox isn't making these outlandish claims.

    You not understanding the mail in impact is your issue.

    Months of republicans: Don't vote by mail!! Don't vote by mail!! Don't vote by mail!! Don't vote by mail!! Don't vote by mail!!
    Months of democrats: Vote by mail!!! Vote by mail!!! Vote by mail!!! Vote by mail!!! Vote by mail!!!

    Now: It makes no sense that most of these mail in votes are democrats.

    Lulz.

    Most Elections have been called Election night or shortly after the next morning. Simple fact you cant change no matter how quick you are to smear people to make it sound like you have more knowledge then you do .

    I honestly dont think he will concede he lost if he actually does lose. He will insist he has won the election and will be the President for next 4 years

    Now we get to hear him bitch about polls for who knows how long....SO PRESIDENTIAL..the MOST presedential

    God in Heaven. This is a dictator speaking, in essence declaring the entire election and the Democrats illegal.

    No evidence provided whatsoever.

    Deluded. TOTALLY detached form reality.

    This. I'm pretty sure that by 1 AM the next day in 2008, we knew Obama was President. Same thing with 2012. Hell, even 2016 was resolved the next day.

    We never had what we're dealing with right now.

    Ignorance? There's a reason this is generating big time discussion and it's not because it's Trump. It's because this is abnormal. Not just the structure of it, but the substantial change in voting pattern and even the ignorance by some here that a voting pattern existed.

    Trump just babbled incoherently for a few minutes. We watched on Fox, to see their take.

    "Uh... the president is claiming he has tons of proof. If he does, we'd like to see it. We have seen no evidence whatsoever of fraud anywhere."

    Even Fox is backing away.

    I hope McConnell gets on the phone with him to give him a constitution lesson about state's rights.
