On the one hand, I'd like to see the votes come in (or at least some of them).

On the other, I don't know if I could take the tension, and I'd like to not ruin my sleep worrying about the rest of the votes.

So fingers crossed that the outcome is good, and fingers crossed nobody here gets too wasted or whatever.

EDIT: Ah, screw it. I'll stay up for as long as I can manage. I'll partake in at least part of this shitshow.

Well for one you seem to have some states that should be safe, likely, lean and/or tilt wrong, like look at most of the maps we've used that utilize all of them and see what makes them different from yours?

Yes some of them do seem a bit unrealistic.

GOP Vermont governor votes for Biden

Gov. Phil Scott (R-Vt.) told reporters after he cast his ballot that he voted for Biden, becoming the first incumbent Republican governor to publicly reveal a vote for the Democratic candidate.

A Trump critic, Scott had said previously he wouldn’t vote for the president, but it was unclear if he would write in another name, like other anti-Trump Republican officials have done.

“It’s been a bit of a struggle for me, but I ended up voting for Joe Biden,” he told reporters, according to Seven Days, a Vermont newspaper.

Scott told reporters this was the first time he supported a Democratic presidential candidate.

“So I had to do some soul-searching,” he said.

Scott didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, and he announced in August that he would again not vote for the Republican at the top of the ticket, but at the time said he hadn’t decided whether he would cast a ballot for Biden.

I do think that Biden will get over 400 EC votes making him the first democrat since LBJ and second president since Reagan.

Not surprising given how liberal he is for a Republican.

He unfortunately will but a silver lining is if Biden wins Jones could very be Attorney General.
