Pfffft! Election’s been over since the Republican convention. But it’s kind of like sports announcers stuck with a game where it’s inevitable a particular team will win. They work hard to jazz you into thinking it’s a contest. The “news” folks studiously use and analyze only the popular voting polls, because they can make you think it’s a contest and keep you watching. If they used electoral vote polls, you’d have switched over to MASH reruns long ago. (Unless you really like those segments at the end where they pretend something that’s been on the Internet for a week is news.)
You just have to avoid getitng all depressed. People been voting for the wrong candidates since the country began. Congress been stuck in bottom dead center since the country began.

Very clever, Samson.

270 electoral ballots are needed to win the election outright, 269 each gets us into the nightmare of Congress doing the voting…

I don’t think the orange sheep has a chance — there’s no team of PR sheep there to disguise him.

it will be interesting to find out proof that there is no significant election fraud, or if hillary wins.

I believe the interesting thing will be if the Electoral College decides to agree with the popular vote. They don’t have too…
