And now that mail-in and absentee ballots, which are typically Dem heavy, are being counted and giving Biden the edge in some states, Trump and his cronies are going with the "rigged election" strategy saying stop the counting or recount everything, depending on which favors them. The Rs stalled to make this happen not allowing votes to be counted early and having the USPS delay or not even sort mail-in ballots. This is the strategy. More confusion and chaos.

We are divided. We all watch different media. They watch their media which always says Trump is great American patriot who never lies and we on the left are all are un American freeloaders who hate America, want to kill babies, take away their guns, want higher taxes, Socialism and want to replace Christmas with Sharia law. They don’t see any corruption at all on their side. It’s all just part of the fake media and corrupt US institutions trying to attack their wise honest and humble leader. He’s not just their leader. He’s their Rock Star leader. He’s the Beatles when he steps out on stage. When you are a famous as him you can do anything...

That goes without saying. I think every person in America knew he would do this after he won the last time and still threw a fit about fake ballots and corruption. He has been talking about his army of lawyers ready to pounce on election night. He has filed all kinds of lawsuits even before the election trying to suppress the vote. We all know Trump will leave no legal stone unturned to sway the results in his favor.

At this point, counting the vote is secondary to pushing back against Trump's authoritarian rhetoric. Ballots don't matter when masses of the country don't want to accept the results.

Jeesh.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Biden did not win AZ. AP and fox called way too early.

7 p.m.: Joe Biden's lead tightens in updated results
Former Vice President Joe Biden held onto his Arizona lead over President Donald Trump in a new batch of results posted Wednesday evening.

These results consisted mainly of early ballots from Maricopa County.

The Associated Press called the state of Arizona for Biden late Tuesday night.

Not all sites have called Arizona for Biden though...cnn reporting that Arizona still has 600,000 uncounted ballots...some of those dropped earlier this hour.

Right. Some of those are included in my update. It's Fox New and AP that called it. MSNBC and CNN are the ones who haven't called it yet.

Looks like AZ is going to be tighter than expected, Biden probably holds on. PA looks like it'll turn to Biden tomorrow.
