As of 6:30 pm PST the undecided states are (with EC votes): 3 Alaska 16 Georgia 6 Nevada 15 North Carolina 20 Pennsylvania Arizona, Maine, Michigan, and Wisconsin have been called for Biden. Ironically, the only state that Trump can afford to lose is the one he will certainly win, Alaska. Biden has 264 EC votes, so any of the states other than Alaska will put him at 270 or more. It looks like Nevada will go for Biden and that will be 270. According to the NYT, based on the trend in mail in ballots and the number of mail in ballots to be counted, Biden could win Pennsylvania by 100,000 votes. That would be 290. Either Georgia or North Carolina could put him overt 300, and he could possibly get to 321. In any case, I expect Biden will get at least 285 EC votes. Combine that with the fact that Biden leads in the popular vote by over three and a half million, and the results are pretty clear.

mcgeo52 replies on Oct 28, 2020:

Biden is saying he wants a study about adding Justices to the Supreme Court. Bullshit. Damage control needs to start immediately. Biden needs to have six justices vetted and ready for nomination the day after he is sworn in. The Democrats in the House and Senate need to pass the bill expanding the court the morning after the inauguration and Biden needs to sign it and submit the nominees that afternoon. They should all be on the bench by the end of February at the latest. If any Republican says jack shit about it , I'll be happy to quote them a Trump T-shirt, "Fuck your feelings."

@Mofo1953, the precedent I cited is that the Justices were required to ride circuit as well as preside as Justices. The fact that the law was changed and the no longer do so does not change the fact that they did so for most of 101 years. You said, "only becomes precedent when it happens, has never happened." The Supreme Court web site says it did. Accept the fact that there is precedent. This establishes precedent for Congress having the right to assign the judges to any position open to a federal judge. You have yet to cite any part of the Constitution that would need to be amended. Please stop projecting your misplaced pride on me.

Neoliberalism is responsible for the all time record inequality in wealth distribution that we have in this country. This level of inequality cannot be sustained. The BLM protesters and the right wing racists are both results, in part, of the economic disparity. The situation will only get worse unless we reject the neolibreal policies that got us here. We had the opportunity four years ago to elect someone who could have brought us down to a reasonably soft landing. Hillary Clinton, Debbie Wassermann Schulz, and the DNC cheated us out of that possibility. To be honest, I am not that hopeful for the future of this country even if Biden wins unless he moves sharply left in his first few months in office. In that case he could possibly pull of what FDR did in the '30s and prevent a full on revolution.

@callmedubious, Trump has continued the droning. And his lies and gross mishandling of the pandemic are the reason we have 20% of the world's deaths from the coronavirus with only 5% of the world's population. That is five times the number we should have. It is eminently fair to lay 80% of our deaths directly on Trump. Admittedly, that is not (**yet**) 200,000; it's only 187,200 out of the 209,000 dead so far.

@BirdMan1, don't tell me about too damned cold. I spent four years in upstate NY when I was in high school. And when I say upstate NY I don't mean Westchester County; I mean north of Syracuse. We got 120" of snow a year. Since then I have spent over 50 years in Southern California where I jokingly say that that water freezes at 50º. Could I survive moving back into cold like South Dakota for a few years? If I believed that was what would be necessary to save this country, I would do what I had to.
