Tobe fair, the "whining" about cheating started well before the election. Everyone was aware the mail in process with very limited control to ensure identification was ripe for cheating.

And somehow 5 states in the union manage to do their elections entirely by mail without issue.

" It's just it was a big joke this year." No different for the last election. Yet day in and day out many cite polls to substantiate their opinions.

I haven't believed in the polls in DECADES.

Which is why, IMO, ALL states should use the "proportional" way.

In states like Ca., 6 MILLION can vote for Trump and he doesn't get 1 single electoral vote.

Neither party would change to proportional if they usually kept control of a states electoral vote knowing their state would LOSE electoral votes.

Sorry the mouth breathing, cousin-marrying, dirt eating contingent is fading in some states.

Fear not! As the popular vote shows, plenty of America is still stupid or racist or both.
"tend to be better educated", and where are ALL the slums where most kids do NOT graduate from high school?
Funny how so many like you who think they so much "so much smarter" then the rest of us always IGNORE that FACT!

More education does NOT necessarily make you smarter! We see it every day with libs and all their Liberal Arts degrees.

Obama was "HAWVERD" educated in law, yet was OVERTURNED by the courts MORE then ANY other president.

Then LESS people will be working, taxes will go up which will cause even MORE people to loose their jobs.

Way too many on Washington have NEVER run a business yet think THEY know more about running one the actual people who DO run them.

$15 in NY is NOTHING. $15, in say, Alabama is way over the going rate.

This country is too big to start with things like minimum wage when there is such a HUGE diverse difference among states and the areaa in them.

I lived in MD where right next to D.C wages were MUCH higher. Same for Balt. The areas NOT close to big cities the Wesern area, the Eastern shore, have very different COL.

Why do you think their is such a big disparity in the cost of housing is?

The Cost of Living SHOULD ALWAYS be taken into account.

There was something I saw a few yeas ago where they took $100 and the buying power it had. NY and Ca had a buying power of about $84 and NC had a buying power of about $118.

"1 size does NOT fit ALL!"

When it is over, and Trump is declared the winner, will you answer then? Probably not...you'll just run, hide, & sulk.

For months I've read post, after post, after post, how the polls had Biden up big, and how Trump was toast.

So, why are we sitting here in limbo this morning?

You were all lied to...by your own team! Ouch...that must hurt. They played you like a fiddle.

All those pollsters cared about was themselves...selling advertising...they never cared about you, or how you would feel right now.

So, go ahead...cling to your baby blanket of hope, & climb into your shell of denial that you'vee been had...again!
"All those pollsters cared about was themselves..." and it is noted how the VAST MAJORITY ALWAYS have the dems ahead.

Funny how that always works out.

After the last election and how embarrassed the polling people SHOULD have been, I am surprised how so many, especially dems STILL believe in them.

Then again most polls ALWAYS having the dem ahead....!

The only thing we know for sure is that polling organizations, of which also influences media reporting early in the election process, isn't working properly.
This is NOT about the winner but, the Blue Wave that was supposed to happen based on all the polls.

" isn't working properly", are you REALLY this NAIVE? It IS working just the way they WANT it to work.

Another reason why I think a test should be taken and PASSED BEFORE can vote.

The terrible, part, imo, is that I just wonder how many voters who would have voted for Trump didn't do so because they read too many polls saying that Biden was a sure winner in their state. (You will note that I live in Wisconsin.)

IT IS AN ABSOLUTE SHAME!

Do you even know how ridiculous this reads? Are you saying you think Trump supporters stayed home and didn't vote for a man that appeared to be down in the polls?

Wow, what a great way to support your candidate.
