3:51 — Remember Dan Crenshaw, the Texas Congressperson who Pete Davidson made fun of on SNL and then apologized to on SNL? Here he is tweeting a more sanitized version of Trump’s nonsense.
It should not be partisan to suggest calmly that investigations occur and the court process plays out.

Americans need to be sure of the winner and loser. The winners should especially want that.
Meanwhile, here’s the new Congressperson from Georgia — that QAnon lady — taking him to task for not being Trumpy enough, and then Krenshaw telling the QAnon lady to act more like a Congressperson.
Did you even read past the first sentence? Or are you just purposely lying so you can talk tough? No one said give up. I literally said investigate every irregularity and use the courts. You’re a member of Congress now, Marjorie. Start acting like one. https://t.co/47a7Gqq4lH

Good times.

1:00 — Biden will speak tonight, but not before Kamala does.
Sen. Kamala Harris will also be speaking tonight, the campaign says, and will speak before Joe Biden.

Harris would be the first woman, first Black person, first South Asian American person, and first HBCU graduate to be elected vice president of the United States. https://t.co/sMotwo180U
Trump thinks he’s still campaigning for votes.
With the attack by the Radical Left Dems on the Republican Senate, the Presidency becomes even more important!

Fox News is thinking about maybe possibly coming around.
"For POTUS to come out the other night and say definitively in that press conference that Democrats are stealing the election, that there is fraud, doesn't that hurt the system? … we haven't seen that level of fraud." — @BretBaier pic.twitter.com/llTE8tIaha

And Rush Limbaugh has conceded an election he did not run, but then I guess got a call and revoked his concession for a race he did not run.
Comes back, says he did not concede a Biden win, and that if he have that impression he didn’t mean to. https://t.co/f7jONxgtxb

This is nice, though.

"As we said on July 19th, the American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House," campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement.

And CNN continues to go off on Fox News.
"The Murdochs are ultimately responsible," @BrianStelter notes.

Meanwhile, a big-ass batch of votes came in Arizona, and they don’t favor Trump in the way that he needs, basically foreclosing any kind of path through Arizona, not that it matters anymore. The networks are just waiting for the vote counts to mount in PA.
9:50 — And more reactions.

Inject this image into my fucking veins. Blend it into a shake and serve it to me in a frosty mug. Dry it and let me smoke it. Shred 10,000 copies of it and fill a bathtub with it so I can roll around in it. https://t.co/9GDllJgLnj

Trump won 306-222 and is now going to lose 306-222. But his popular vote deficit will more than double to at least 5 million. First POTUS to lose reelection in 28 years.

Biden is up by 5,500. There are still 130,000 ballots left statewide, and 23,000 ballots left in Philadelphia alone. This isn’t going to be close.
7:30 a.m. — Good morning, Pajiba. I love you. The hard work of Stacey Abrams and the spirit of John Lewis have turned the great state of Georgia blue. Overnight, Joe Biden officially overtook the President.

With Georgia, Trump cannot get to 270 (if he ran the table, he could only get to 269, and let’s not even discuss that possibility).
It’s worth noting, too, that both Senate races in Georgia will have runoffs, and that the balance of the Senate will depend on them (unless the Democrat somehow wins that Senate seat in Alaska).
Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, Biden has closed the gap to 18,000. There’s still a ton of outstanding votes out there, most of which will go to Biden. It’s just a matter of counting now.
The PA SoS website says ~163,500 left to count; of those ~123,300 are in Philadelphia, Allegheny, Chester/Delaware/Montgomery, Bucks & Lehigh; Biden won all of them except the last 2 by resounding margins And that's even before you get to the further blue tint of mail.
— Ronald Brownstein (@RonBrownstein) November 6, 2020
54,000 of those votes are in Philly, specifically. That’s probably enough alone for Biden to overtake Trump, and convert that 18,000 deficit to an 18,000 vote surplus. This thing is well within hand. It should be over today, except the Trumpworld bellyaching, of which there will be plenty.
Lots more coming today, but I gotta get the kids to school. Don’t save the rest of Democracy without me!
