    I want to believe this. I really do. Maybe the surprise will be that it really did happen.

    But I’m not confident. I’m expecting it to be razor-thin, with results unclear even days later.

      He’s gonna call it at an hour after polls close in nevada (red mirage) and just spam lawsuits in every swing state. He’ll then point at those lawsuits as proof that he won and the election is stolen. We’ll have to wait until December to see if the Supreme Court crowns him king.

        Yup exactly this. Republicans tend to vote early and be in areas that get counted faster; It’s easier to count 1000 rural votes than it is to count 10000 urban votes. So he’ll take the early numbers and declare victory, then send it all the way to the SCOTUS when the blue votes begin to catch up. And (unless something drastically shifts and there is a major upset in the court) the SCOTUS will hand it to him.

          He probably get the courts to shut down voting like they during Gore and courts will make him the winner just to find out to late that he lost by huge numbers.

          I swear if that happens and we don’t shut down this country with a general strike then America is done.
