Sadly, my mother in law called my wife a few days ago and called her a terrible person and yelled "I thought I raised you better than this, how can you vote for that person". Then I saw an Aunt had written a 2 paragraph post on facebook blasting her sisters, disavowing and disowning herself from them because they voted for the other part.

Its a sad day when politics can turn mothers against daughters and sisters into enemies.

Since I still have no access to the political forum, I’m going to post this here. This is based on objective analysis rather than on any political bias and will hopefully will be ok here.

1. I know many here don’t like CNN because it is very biased anti-Trump/one-sided. However, I hope some of you can appreciate the once again amazing analysis done by John King county by county. There’s simply nobody like him!

2. In 2016, King was an early clue that the results were shifting more favorably for Trump after Hillary looked good early.

3. Based on King’s analysis of NC and Ohio, Biden is so far doing significantly better than Hillary did county by county. If that were to hold, Biden very likely would win the election. However, the problem in jumping to a conclusion about this is that early voting is coming in more quickly than today’s voting at least in NC. Early voters have tended to be more heavily Dems than Election Day voters. So, that says NC/Ohio could still possibly shift back toward Trump as Election Day votes are counted.
I will say though that CNN just said that a good portion of Election Day voter results have already been counted in Ohio. That MAY mean that Trump will not gain back ground on Biden in the very crucial Ohio.

4. Trump seems to be doing well in FL, GA, and in VA, which is all the more reason that the election is still very much up in the air.

Things seem like they may be suddenly shifting toward Trump. NC/OH shifting toward Trump. Dow futures have gone up 600 points in 30 minutes!! I’m starting to feel Deja Vu back to 2016!
 
Very interesting trends out of NC, rural counties including heavily black rural counties have gained lots of ground for Trump . One example is Robeson county which did not vote Republican once since 1972, Trump flipped it in 2016 by 4 and won it by 17 in 2020. Now, what counteracted those gains was heavy turnout in our urban and suburban counties which all saw gains for Mr. Biden versus what Hilary did, for Johnston county NC which is a suburban / rural county , Trump won by 29 points in 2016 versus 25 roughly this year . I think NC district 1 may become competitive for Republicans this decade as the N.C. “ Black belt” shifts demographically and trends conservative . They won it by smallest margins ever the dems , mind you this used to be considered the safest democrat district in the state.

Other trends are it looks like republicans flipped some state house seats, they flipped every court position up for re-election which is very very big news , won lt governor , lost governor but by nowhere near the 14 points polls had them losing by, and looks like Trump and Tilis will cross the line . Actually , tillis is doing better than trump with 2 point lead which is crazy for a low enthusiasm Republican candidate that even other republicans considered not voting for but still voting for trump.
 
Viewing this objectively looks like Biden pretty much has it in the bag at this point. Not saying I am for or against him. Trump has to win PA, NC, GA, and hope Nevada flips red once all their votes are counted. Doesn't look like any of the other 'battleground' States are viable at this moment. Trump will take it to the Supreme Court and things are going to get messy lol. With as close as this election looks to be I can't say I entirely blame him for doing it.

Not the blowout many expected even if Biden does win PA and GA. It’s a really big win tho for the Republicans to hold the senate and that they had their largest percentage of minorities since 1960 and that carried them in Texas and Florida.
