I've got a good friend that lives near you (I think) in Haddonfield. Great Republican; his dad was a former Governor of New Jersey.

Haddonfield is one town over from me. Like 3 miles away. High rent district (even by NJ standards) but very nice.

Maybe those crafty dems went into a lot of ballots and just switched the Trump selection. That sounds rational.(sarcasm font to make sure)

To keep the peace, I'll note that whatever you think (I'm sorry, I don't quite understand it) let's say you're right, and move on.

Trump won part of the electoral vote in ME and Collins is the most center Senator. That explains your false premise.

Here's a good primer on the states where recounts may happen.
In some situations, if a candidate asks for the recount, he may have to bear all or part of the cost.

For a "racist", Trump pulled the highest percentage of Black, Hispanic vote since 1960, and he pulled and 35% of the Muslim vote. The Hispanic vote helped him carry Florida.

Maybe the media was painting trash pictures full of biased inaccuracies....again?

Bottom line. This was not a race about Policy. This was a race about Personality. The Republicans so far have picked up 12 House seats, and will retain control of the Senate in the face of Hundreds of Millions of Dollars, thrown at and wasted by the Democratic Party elites. The people LIKE the Republican policies, but Trump just couldn't get out of his own way.

There will be no Socialist revolution. Cocaine Mitch will stop any attempt at Green New Deal, ending the filibuster, and court packing in its tracks. If Breyer decides to retire, Mitch will probably go along with Biden's pick as an attempt to show Bi-Partisanship and to contrast how the Republicans do things vs the Circus the Democrats pulled. Then in 2022, the Republicans are poised to take back control of the House and will probably increase their Senate majority.

Trump blew it by his own arrogance, but Nancy Pelosi is DONE, DONE. Her elitist act won't play anymore. Have a nice four years of nap Joe. Your initiatives will go nowhere, and we'll all be taking a nap while the press disappears again.

Gridlock. Because it means lots of posturing and long 3 martini lunches.
Any new socialist initiatives are DOA

Why end court packing? Rs hold power until Jan. Ram a bunch more thru on the way out!

And a MI county fixes “glitch” (oopsy) and the county goes to Trump (6k vote swing). Nothing to see here.

More proof that Democrats have a tremendous amount in common with the Nazis (the American Brown Shirts came out this summer during the American version of kristallnacht):

This is a little bit rich considering one of the founders of Breitbart was just banned from Twitter for suggesting beheading two public officials and putting their heads on pikes in front of the White House if the president wins re-election.
