And the Trump paraphernalia like the huge flags and flags that look a lot like U.S. flags but say Trump or whatever. It's so ****ing gaudy. It's more over the top than Tammy Faye Bakker's makeup.

That’s pretty optimistic, imo.
I’ll be surprised if Biden takes Florida, Georgia, NC, and Pennsylvania.

In his last days of campaigning, Trump has essentially admitted that he does not expect to win without going to court. “As soon as that election is over,” he told reporters over the weekend, “we’re going in with our lawyers.”
Trailing consistently in the polls, Trump in that moment said out loud what other Republicans have preferred to say quietly, which is that his best chance of holding onto power at this point may rest in a scorched-earth campaign to disqualify as many votes as possible for his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden.
After months of claiming that any election outcome other than a victory for him would have to have been “rigged,” the president used his final days on the campaign trail to cast doubt on the very process of tabulating the count, suggesting without any evidence that any votes counted after Tuesday, no matter how legal, must be suspect.
Both sides expect Trump and his allies to try again to disqualify late-arriving ballots in the emerging center of the legal fight, Pennsylvania, after the state’s high court rejected a previous attempt and the Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal.
The scale of the Republican effort is beyond any that longtime civil rights lawyers said they could recall, and they, along with lawyers for the Democrats, said they were ready to meet Trump’s lawyers in court.
“This is the most blatant, open attempt at mass disenfranchisement of voters that I’ve ever witnessed,” said Dale Ho, the director of the Voting Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union, which has litigated several major cases this year.

As Voting Ends, Battle Intensifies Over Which Ballots Will Count
With the election coming to a close, the Trump and Biden campaigns, voting rights organizations and conservative groups are raising money and dispatching armies of lawyers for what could become a state-by-state, county-by-county legal battle over which ballots will ultimately be counted.The...

It is. But I think those states have the demographics to make Biden very competitive. Large turnout plus covid and Trump exhaustion push Biden over the top. Although, out of all those states Florida is the one I’m least confident about. Pennsylvania is in the bag for Biden.

Man, if PA is in the bag for Biden, then it's essentially game over at that point, correct? If Trump loses PA then he has to have a miracle happen to win, correct?
That's been my understanding. But I'm not very good at electoral college handicapping.
.If he freaking gets re elected I am not visiting USA or buying any American products for 4 years. Can't believe so many are voting for this piece of ****.

My wife just texted me that our neighbor across the street has that flag on his roof. Lost some respect for that neighbor today
