The Historic blue wave might not be enough

It could very well be historic NOT simply because of the sheer numbers of voters, but because of the mysterious way such a large, unprecedented lead evaporated late in the evening, or early morning hours. I truly hope I am wrong. I have no doubt this has been discussed, "What are they gonna do, organize a few million on the streets for a few days?" Then we'll be laughed at. They have most of the courts now.

what your talking about. We have been winning elections since 2016 in red and blue states. It's not logical to just conclude that when an election is close or we lose one that it's somthing nefarious

to be some fishy happenings in the 2004 Ohio race, Kerry vs. Bush. I don’t remember exactly what happened but it was weird.
