Wasn't responding to you. Apparently you voted Trump, because I didn't. Congratulations on making a bad decision.
It’s Hannity and political theater. They’ll be focused on GA and blaming the pandemic economy on Biden by Monday.
The people that actually control this country (and who fund campaigns) depend on stability. Cruz, Graham and whoever can hem and haw all they want but nothing is happening.
NPR had a story on overseas voters yesterday. Said “turnout” will be waaay higher than usual.
As a proud member of Democrats Abroad, I can say we did an enormous amount of heavy lifting to get votes out from Americans living abroad. Americans who live abroad face enormous hurdles to voting, and most simply don't participate. We've worked very hard to change that, and believe we were quite successful in doing so.
In 2016 there were about 3 million eligible voters living abroad, but less than 7% voted. It will probably be about 3x that rate in this election. And that's despite a State Department under this administration which has in many cases actively sabotaged Americans abilities to exercise our rights.
If it comes down to Georgia and Arizona, then all trump needed to do to win was not be a selfish asshole and respond to the death of American heroes who hurt his feelings with kindness and respect. He couldn’t do that. The Greek tragedians would be impressed with the narrative.
