I'll pass. It's not like I won't hear about it whether I want to or not.

Though the votes counted so far were in Republican areas, if you go to the Yahoo homepage:
It's still a month & a half away....
I like the name festivus! Sounds, well, festive.It's still a month & a half away....
Could upgrade the decorations, though... Just saying.

Kentucky is leaning Dem in its counting now with 8% of their votes being counted. I still don't expect Kentucky to go Dem though.
We don't need no steenkin decorations on our aluminum poles.
I'm paying attention to the 538 live blog. 2020 Election: Live Results And Coverage They're much more sober, data driven and careful than many others.
We have someone in our church running for City Mayor - we will be watching.
This is a classic 538 blog post that underlines why I pay attention to them
I’m watching CNN at the moment and I am seeing a lot of coverage of partial results. For example, they just highlighted that Biden is leading in Kentucky with 8 percent of the vote in. They are also running through a slew of counties reporting 20 percent of the vote or less. They have heavily caveated these numbers, but this kind of coverage is probably just not necessary. While we’ve talked a lot about the risks of partial results at FiveThirtyEight, most viewers are probably not familiar with all the differences in what types of votes get reported when. These very-partial-vote analyses are ripe for manipulation by partisans as well. We need to hold off on drawing any real conclusions until full counties are reporting. We can indeed look at small counties in Kentucky to give us a sense of the shift from 2016, but in order to do that, we need all the vote in.

According to Yahoo, it's close, but it's believed Kentucky will go Republican. Also, Trump's currently ahead in Florida with 8% of the votes being counted.
I'd be watching the poles - the ones I hang my bird feeders on - but it's dark outside so I can't really see them. Also, it's dark outside and the birds aren't visiting right now.
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
That's what they are saying in New York. Made it though. I finished voting and am eating popcorn and drinking soda!It's still a month & a half away....

It will be interesting to see what happens in Texas as the results for Texas are now pouring in. The counting.

Trump currently has the popular vote. We'll see if the same does hold true when California is eventually counted.
