NYT Nicholas Kristof ended his OpEd this morning with a paragraph that summarized my feeling entirely:

"So as I fret about Trump’s efforts to do Russia’s work and delegitimize this election, I also keep wrestling with this question: How is it that so many millions of Americans watched Trump for four years, suffered the pain of his bungling of Covid-19, listened to his stream of lies, observed his attacks on American institutions — and then voted for him in greater numbers than before?"

Last count per NYT, there have been 68,644,941 votes (47.8%) this morning for Trump. So many voters, that apparently don't see {choose your favorite crisis} as a key issue either, it boggles my mind. What have those movements done wrong? If I didn't understand how difficult it is to steal an election (detailed in another NYT oped today), I might even say there was something fishy.

Suggestions?

Both cnn.com and foxnews.com report Biden will win Michigan and Wisconsin, and if he wins Arizona and Nevada too where he leads, he has 270 electoral votes. This means it looks good for Biden! All here hope that Joe wins.

One thing that confuses me is Trump being attributed 267 vs 268 EVs. But I suppose it could be Maine, with it's split representation:
