I'd wait until we get either AZ/NV or PA.

I think that Joe's simply being able to hit 270 with AZ/NV is grounds for popping a cork. (Not to mention President The Don screaming about lawsuits and going to his custom-made Supreme Court before the official counting is done).

The bottle of fake champagne (sparkling grape juice) I bought to celebrate remains unopened and will until Biden hits 270.

When he is 270 or over and cases have been thrown out etc I will believe it. And then there is still until Jan. After that dump needs to be prosecuted so he can never run again. I don’t have hope he will be successfully prosecuted.

I don't trust the GOP one iota. If anyone thinks he's in the White House bunker just sleeping they're wrong. He's probably with Ghouliani/Barr/Roger Stone/and any other criminals finding ways to steal it.

I do not put anything past them. I wish I could be as optimistic as some DU'ers are, but I'm not.

I am still 2016 election shy to feel happy about anything. I couldn't breath before but some of you helped me breath in a post I did earlier.

but the maps slightly favors Biden. If Trump is able to hold on to PA and AZ, he wins, provided he keeps GA. If Biden keeps AZ and NV, he wins. Or NV and PA.
Despite the Times' prediction, I think GA looks tough for Biden.

Pay no attention to those who laugh at our worries.

Many predictions of a landslide, which DID NOT happen.

Fingers crossed, staying calm.

What if Fox gave Biden Arizona on purpose and then call it back? And then the final 5 could still go Trump. 😬
