We lost Florida. We didnt plan around winning Florida.
Were ahead in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania which we did plan around.
Were ahead in Georgia, Nirth Carolina, Ohio and Texas.
Were waiting for Arizona.
Stop whining.

(297,211 posts)I don't "calm down" until all the votes are in and it's called.
But I don't make worrisome posts, either.
I took some herb drops that really help sleep at night. I figured they would help with calm 'cause I sure as hell am not going to sleep.

(51,590 posts)to help me sleep in conjunction with a zillion other ways that provide much needed peace of mind. I am having very upsetting deja vu with 2000 and 2004 (I had to leave the country for a year since I hated Team Bush getting reelected).
I expect to take heavy duty herbal remedies for some time.
Cha
(297,211 posts)catatonic zombie right now. And, it's mental. The herbs are helping somewhat but I guess we just have to go through this life and death cliff hanger while they count the votes.
Winning Arizona really helped!

(1,646 posts)But honestly, I should just go to bed. With all those mail-in votes and different rules it's ridiculous that anybody is doing anything but just waiting.

(21,450 posts)in TX or GA.
They have a real time map and charts showing the projected states and which way the others are leaning. Charts show the lead percentages AND the percentages of votes counted.
Remember, we expected Trump to look good in the beginning because most R's voted in person. There are still a lot of Dem mail ins to count. This is where courts might come into it, since some mail ins are being set aside and there are arguments about dates received and counted. That's up to our legal team.
We can still win this, but we need to be patient and let it play out.
I am avoiding TV and radio so I do not hear the talking head nonsense. I have put on some relaxing instrumental music from the 50's and 60's while checking in at DU, Huffpost, and The Guardian from time to time.

(22,236 posts)wnylib
(21,450 posts)off and on as more votes come in. I checked again and PA and OH were leaning red, but their mail ins have not been totalled yet. The mail-ins for all the states will trickle in over the next few days. So today's counts are changeable, except where there are really huge leads one way or the other that can't be overcome by mail-ins.

But, ultimately I agree with you.

Feel free to send any rough drafts to me and I will punch them up for you. This is a service I provide for free. With 13 grandchildren running around , my wife will not let me curse at will. I think she may be a nazi.

Old Crow
(2,212 posts)...but the info I'm seeing shows us behind in every state you've mentioned. My stomach is in an absolute knot and I think that's a reasonable response to what's unfolding. If you've got other data, I'm all ears.

Jirel
(2,018 posts)My goodness, the unreasoned panic is intense. Its going to probably be a squeaker, but anyone who believed otherwise is deluding themselves. I get having anxiety over this, but theres no reason to feed each others anxieties until everyone is losing it. I checked in on DU for a sec, and nope - Im off for the night after this. News is useful, but waves of anxiety are not.

spooky3
(34,452 posts)percentages of counts in Fairfax County, Alexandria, and Charlottesville, all very blue and FFX is huge. FFX always reports late and people panic when they shouldn't. AP already called it for Biden and for Warner.
Yes, Biden wins if he carries MI WI and PA. If he loses one of them but wins AZ and the one Nebraska vote around Omaha, he wins.

(2,738 posts)He thought he could get good early numbers in enough states that he could try to claim he'd won and fight counting all the huge numbers of mail-in ballots.
Until we have counts of those mail-in ballots, I'm not throwing in the towel. And I'm pushing back against early calls on winners and losers.
VOX
(22,976 posts)And EVERY state you mention in your board-nanny OP is now showing a Trump lead. (Except AZ.)
Let DU be DU dont attempt to muzzle your fellow Democrats. At the moment (8:00 PM PST), there is legitimate cause for worry.

Im not. I am profoundly disappointed in the citizens of this country. How can it be that this orange monster is accumulating so many votes. I shake my head wondering, Who are these people voting for him?

James48
(4,436 posts)Lots of votes here in Michigan still have not been counted or uploaded. The big story is turnout. In my precinct, 2016 turnout was 1907 people, or about 61%. This year it was 82%, and 2509 voters. That is huge. But there are still tons of absentee ballots in my state which are put into their own precincts and arent uploaded yet, and much of them will be Biden heavy. It is still much too early to call my state of Michigan either way. No race has every had this many people vote (82%) before.
