How were the election results for you? I think Biden is going to squeak out a victory but it’s not great that it’s too close to call. In Washington, it’s good. Inslee won as expected. The legislature is secure. Not sure if that means actually progressive legislation.
In fine but not my preferred candidate news, the 10th Congressional District and Lieutenant Governor the more conservative Democrat won the race between2 Democrats. The sex ed initiative is passing easily. King County charter amendments are going for police reform.
Anyway, wash your hands right now.

There’s another Republican woman in the US Senate. If James wins there will be another black Republican in the US Senate.
Right now there are 5 House seats going to Republicans.
A Biden victory with a weakened House majority and the Senate in opposition hands is the second-best outcome Republicans could have hoped for. The markets are rallying in relief that the Democrats don’t hold all of the cards.
Yesterday and today will be remembered by Republicans as good days. McConnell and Pelosi will cut a much more favorable stimulus deal now.

I was just reminiscing about my personal encounter with Barry Goldwater, back in my college student days, I think it occurred in 1966. He was on campus to give a speech, and afterward I was part of a group of 5 or 6 students he chatted with for about 15 or 20 minutes.
It went as you’d expect. He was dressed in a business suit, wasn’t pompous or standoffish, didn’t put on airs; he had the bearing and demeanor of a prosperous businessman, which he was (his family owned a now-extinct regional department store chain).
He was neither chummy nor distant, just businesslike and matter-of-fact; you could talk to him, and he answered our questions, but didn’t say anything that wasn’t already public knowledge.
It looks like Trump lost Arizona. It will be because he trashed McCain — after McCain was dead — and McCain, who was Goldwater’s political heir, was popular in Arizona. You can’t trash a popular local icon — especially after he’s dead — and expect the locals to vote for you, no matter what party label you paste on yourself.

Roger Rabbit spews:
@18 The legal challenge in Wisconsin concerns access to ballot counting. In other words, it’s an observer issue, not a challenge to ballots. They’re asking for some ballots to be counted again with what they say are **proper** observer procedures being followed. I haven’t read the details, but knowing how the Trump camp operates, I suspect this is an argument over non-credentialed observers being admitted to watch the counting.
Recount rules vary by state. Wisconsin has no automatic recount, but candidates can request a recount at their expense if the margin is less than 1%, or the state will pay for a recount (if requested) when the margin is less than .25%. The state also pays if the recount changes the result.
With 99% reporting, the Wisconsin totals are:
Biden: 1,630,396
Trump: 1,609,879
That’s a difference of 20,517 votes, which is 0.63% of the total. So Trump can request a recount, but he’ll have to pay for it.
What are the odds of a recount overturning that result? Slim to none.
In a typical recount, the total number of ballots will slightly grow, because the recount will pick up votes that were missed in the initial count (because of machine errors, misplaced ballots, etc.). Both candidates can expect to end up with more votes than they started with.
That, of course, is useless to the candidate requesting the recount; he needs a net gain. While the odds of the margin staying exactly the same are nil, and there almost certainly will be a shift for one candidate or the other, that shift is likely to be very small and there’s no assurance it will be in favor of the candidate who requested the recount.
People experienced with elections probably will tell you that given a pool of 3.2 million ballots, the shift is likely to be a few hundred votes, possibly a couple thousand votes. But they would roll their eyes at a candidate hoping to pick up more than 20,000 votes from a recount.
The Biden camp doesn’t have to lose sleep over a Trump request for a Wisconsin recount. The situation is different in Michigan. There, they’re hoping to stop the counting. But I would be shocked if even diehard Republican judges went along with that. There’s no basis for that demand in Michigan election laws. I also note it appears Biden is currently leading in Michigan, so I’m not sure what he expects to gain from stopping the vote counting in Michigan.

Roger Rabbit spews:

Not really. Several thousand trained pollworkers equipped with high-speed counting machines can count faster than you can hope.
It’s sorta like making a one-man bayonet charge across half a mile of no-man’s-land against a defensive system three trenches deep, with 100 feet of barbed wire entanglements in front of the first trench, machineguns spaced every 10 yards and shoulder-to-shoulder troops, backed by short- and long-range artillery.
Or playing chess against Garry Kasparov, which is more or less the same thing.
You should just stay in your foxhole and not try to fight the count, doc.
Elijah SFA McDotcom spews:
Here’s a pretty good example of how, in aggregate, late tabulation of mail-in ballots from all counties might have some surprising effects on close states and close races.
The first batch of mail ballots from Houston County GA came in about an hour ago. From yesterday’s in-person the county was about 60/38 Trump. The first mail tranche was 2,026 Biden and 1,558 Trump, narrowing the gap by another 500. Coming from a relatively small county that is solidly Red/Trump, it’s just 500 net. But along with lots of other mail ballots from lots of other little counties… that’s how this works. And that’s why Biden keeps tweeting “count every vote”. And there are still up to 20,000 mail ballots out in Houston County alone.
@godwinha spews:
@ 27
The D and R counts may have been inadvertently reversed in Antrim County in MI. 6k +/- vote flip if that’s what happened. This is all good stuff. Won’t be enough to save James but maybe there’s a House seat somewhere for him in ’22. He won’t beat Stabenow but Peters has been a weak candidate in this election.

NBC has awarded 237 EVs to Biden and 214 EVs to Trump.
Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada have 33 EVs. If Biden wins those states, he has 270, with Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania still up for grabs.
It’s not over by any means, and Biden supporters can’t take a deep breath yet. But if I were the Republicans who survived this election, I’d start thinking about how to deal with a Biden administration, just in case the apparent results in Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada don’t change.

He’s behind by 617,383 votes.
“He also claimed without evidence that there were ‘some irregularities’ in the election, pointing to voter support for a statewide sexual-health-education measure, even though he hadn’t met anyone who supported it.”
Culp got 1,355,648 votes, and only 1,319,074 people voted against Prop. 90, so by my calculation, at least 36,574 of HIS supporters voted FOR Prop. 90.

Here’s what Biden’s domestic political advisers will study in the next two months:
ticket splitting in Michigan and Maine. Biden/James votes and Biden/Collins voters.
There wasn’t nearly as much ticket splitting as Democratic Senate strategists has hoped for. And that information should be the lede. But they’ll want to know right away how they can move the needle ahead of 2022.
I think, however, the answer will be simple and, since this is 2020, stupid. I think they’ll discover these are mostly no-party-affiliation, first time, very low information voters who had little or no idea who the Senate candidates were or anything else about them. They picked the name they liked/recognized or they decided based on a dream they had. Given how horrible the media are now, I’m not sure there’s anything an incumbent can do with that except go with name familiarity.
If Biden/Democrats want to win control of the Senate in 2022 they must start by building the party in PA and WI (Toomey and Johnson) while the opportunity to do so exists right now. While there are hundreds of thousands of new, first time voters up for grabs.

Despite how the media are reporting most of this, and certainly despite FOX prime time cry babies, the actual filings so far are not “aggressive” and are not even factually robust. A couple don’t even bother to specify facts alleging violations. Others specify facts that might only produce a hearing. At least so far, this legal maneuvering has not ventured into the realm of threatening to overturn any state results. And any that might would be a month or more away.
And just to be clear, the Supreme Court does not have jurisdiction at this point and might never. The Court only has original jurisdiction in cases arising from a civil dispute between states or cases involving ambassadors. Any case involving a legal challenge from a private party to a state election would have to first go to trial in a lower court, usually state. Federal courts defer in general to state courts in determining their own laws, such as election laws. In Bush v. Gore the “final” authority of the Florida Supreme Court was challenged on a federal constitutional issue – equal protection (an earlier due process cause evaporated).
At this point I’m inclined to see this as political posturing intended to keep the angry violent GOP base energized and perhaps as a pretext to lots and lots and lots of Senate obstruction ahead.
Legally this stuff appears to be junk political performance art for the cost of a filing fee.

Speaker Pelosi announced on Sept 24 of 2019 that six committees of the House would begin formal hearings inquiring into articles of impeachment against President Trump. On Dec. 3rd the House Intel Committee voted to approve a report and send it to the House Judiciary Committee. On Dec. 5th the Speaker authorized the House Judiciary Committee to draft articles of impeachment. On Dec. 16th the House Judiciary approved it’s report recommending two articles of impeachment and forwarded them to the full House. On Dec. 18th the House approved the articles.
That’s less than three months. By most folks reckoning nowhere even close to three years.
Every other cry baby complaint about Trump persecution is completely down to Republicans. They launched Mueller. They unleashed the FBI, and a half dozen United States Attorneys in SDNY, EDVA, DCDC, etc. This was and always will be an epic self-own. Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Michael Cohen, Steve Bannon, Rick Gates, Brad Parscale, George Papadopolous, Paul Manafort, Richard Pinedo. They did all that shit to themselves and entirely by themselves. And they’ve spent years and millions of tax dollars trying to fabricate cover stories and phony investigations to cover up their own incompetence and clownishness.
The GOP ran every branch of the government throughout nearly all of it. Pelosi took the gavel in Jan. of 2018 pledging to let the Mueller report stand on its own and to put it in the rear view mirror. Only when Trump tried to enlist further help from abroad to fix the next election did the House finally step in.

Next we learn that Trump is a racist. Yet thinking Cubanos and some Latinos along with more Black Men came out from the dummocretin reservation and woke up to dummocretin class warfare and calling everyone a racist and voted for Trump in 2020. Even AOC, your beloved heroine worried about dummocretin thought. The problem from my family’s viewpoint is dummocretin have no clue about socialism and its real effects and affects to those who lived it or parents lived it. Venezuelans who emigrated to Florida will tell you the same thing. Yet dummocretins push that socialism/communism BUSH^TTIUM to their political detriment.

There will absolutely be a changing of the guard. Overdue in my opinion. And a bunch of people with a better handle on small donor and digital GOTV will move up. Most importantly, these are people with strong roots in state-level organizing. And that’s what needs to be done first to gain two Senate seats in PA and WI.
In my opinion the Mook Mafia represent a misguided breed of digital warriors who think they can safely carpet bomb from a high altitude. When the dust settles on 2020, one picture that will emerge will be of a handful of very successful state level organizers for Biden and perhaps one or two Senate campaigns who successfully married data analytics and micro targeting with precinct level organizing and canvassing on an individual basis.
*Trump certainly deserves some of the credit for lighting the fire. But it still required lots of ground level and state level organizing to get the job done.

“I described the ’16 Election as the Collapse of the Third Republic, opening up an era of disintegration and (hopefully) reformation. We all held some hope that a 4th Republic might emerge peacefully through the democratic process as soon as this year. Those hopes are gone. Biden’s win might stall our reckoning, but no matter who sits in the Oval Office next year, the country is ungovernable. A majority of whites have decided they prefer mass death, economic disaster, and kleptocracy rather than yield the smallest corner of their racial privileges. Holding the remnants of democratic order will take enormous effort and creativity, and may not even be worth it.”

He makes a living now as provocateur “journalist” manufacturing glowing stories about the neo-Nazi Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, and other groups.”

Shouting ‘Stop the count!’ and ‘Let us in!’, several dozen election challengers, most of them white, tried forcing their way into a vote-counting room at the TCF Center after being denied readmission, according to the Detroit Free Press. A Detroit Police Department spokeswoman told me that no arrests were made.
“Officials had sealed off the area because it was over capacity due to COVID-19 restrictions. Several hundred Democratic, Republican and independent challengers were already inside the facility observing the vote count and looking for any irregularities ….”

4. No conversation.
5. You cannot, under any circumstances, touch a ballot.
6. No political signs, stickers, buttons, caps, t-shirts, insignia, etc.
7. You must have observer credentials.
8. You must agree to obey all the rules.
9. No food or drink (except water bottles) on the counting floor.
10. No chairs; you have to stand.

Elijah SFA McDotcom spews:
147,
I have no doubt he’s tapping into something. But I see no reason why people in general should be assumed to have this need. Travel the world and see lots of different kinds of people in different cultures facing the same growing diversity and you don’t see this impulse within those cultures the way it seems to exist in the US.
I think to whatever extent this urge to “not be black” exists in the US it’s entirely because of our long miserable history of slavery and the century of denial that followed and continues to this day. It lives in the open public reverence and celebration for the treason and civil insurrection that slavery gave birth to.
No other country or society on earth does that. You won’t find statues of Pol Pot in Cambodia. Diego Rivera was not commissioned to paint murals of the Spanish Royal Court. Following liberation and a brief period of purges, the Provisional Government of Free France eventually granted amnesties to German collaborators. But they never instituted a series of annual parades to celebrate the heroic sacrifices of the Waffen-SS Charlemagne. Only the United States does this. It’s so internalized at this point that we barely even notice it.
It’s nothing if not a powerful sign that as a society we still have not resolved these issues. And perhaps more importantly it’s a sign that, despite all the hard work and sacrifice of a century of civil rights struggle, we continue to refuse to do so. It’s why a guy like Doc Rivers can never hope to make a guy like Doctor Dumbfuck understand. It’s really not his job. But in his famous post-game cri de coeur Rivers picked up on the one key thing: “whiteness” is all about fear.
“Whiteness” is a crippling defense mechanism strangely elevated to the status of elite social signifier. It tells you everything when, like clockwork, every single generation of affluent white adolescents predictably reject whiteness before pressures to “get ahead” and fit in result in them succumbing to the inevitable. It’s why most white people’s “whiteness” is never more openly deployed than when they are feeling most vulnerable and exposed. And it’s pretty uniquely American.
But I do think it’s something American white people can and will overcome. But not if they concede to the demands of the GOP to forget about it and resume pretending it doesn’t exist. A majority of Americans are ready. But it’s still only a very narrow majority. I think it will continue to grow, as it has for the last fifty years. If Mississippi voters can finally agree to let go of their most cherished symbol of “whiteness” others can and will follow.
