Actual trained sloths are sorting and tabulating the last 60k, so it’s going to take just a bit of time. They are very good and very accurate, just slow moving animals.

It just isn't usually this close. Plus, a LOT of people voted this time around.

I was patient and understood what it took. But supervisor or elections/election admins at state level will start to loose credibility. They're falling behind.

I know. I know. "Count every vote."

Also, usually the loser would have conceded by now and wrapping up the vote to their inevitable end would have happened without as much media attention.

Only 400 votes counted since I first checked earlier this morning. They must be struggling with provisional ballots. Difference still in the 12K range for Joe.

efforts. People got out in droves to vote these thugs out of office, and in numbers way too much to overwhelm the cheating, the USPS efforts to hide / destroy millions of our ballots (this is one of the greatest crimes of the century, the thief of millions of votes from being tallied/counted). I hope retribution falls upon those that contributed to these crimes...
