This video explains it well if Trump doesn't concede.

I'm feeling a lot better today than last night. It's still not over, but the outcome is looking clearer. The only thing I'm worried about is, Trump won't concede if he loses. If Trump has any moral integrity left, he will do so, but I have my doubts.

Trump never had any kind of integrity.

There are many possible things that could happen and he could still surprise us. A cornered animal is almost unpredictable. He will certainly cry on twitter a lot and try to rally up his base insinuating that there was foul play. Which most likely will lead to violence. He will also threaten legal action, which may or may not happen. There is also a non-zero possibility that he'll immediately flee the country. Or he steps down and lets Pence pardon him.

Whatever happens it will most likely be something that no other president has done before.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

It's not that Trump hasn't any moral integrity left, he never had any.



Signature goes here!

Yesterday the USPS was ordered by a DC judge to find 300,000 ballots nationwide that had been scanned as received in to its facilities, but hadn't been scanned as sent out to the boards of elections. Naturally, the postal service got back to him to say they'd "declined" to follow his order. On-time processing rates for mail in key battleground areas yesterday were between 60 and 85%, when it's normally >95%. Wisconsin and Georgia, among other states, do not count ballots postmarked by election day that arrive later. Trump and DeJoy's plot to delay delivery of the mail-in ballots and void the rights of hundreds of thousands of voters seems to have worked.

EDIT: It's actually not that simple:

Yep. If Trump wins it's a rigged election and a bloodless coup. Let's call it what it is.

I am fairly confident Biden will be the next president.

At this point, I'm hoping we can hang on to the Michigan Senate seat. Dems also had a very bad day at the House.

At this point even if Trump end up losing, I'm fairly confident that the 2024 republicans nominee will be a Trump wannabe, the likes of Eric Trump

It will be Tom Cotton who will be worse than Trump...2028 when its Cotton vs AOC we are going to be right back where we are today.

Sorry, what happened isn't that straightforward and most ballots weren't "missing" in the first place (they were sent out on time b/c workers manually sorted them so they never got automatically scanned, among other reasons):

Fake his death and become a lumberjack?
