I eagerly await the analysis of how many extra cases of COVID-19 occurred because of these celebrations.

+1

What do you think the over/under (God I hate that term) odds are that that analysis will happen? I'd guess less than 25%.

Over long enough time, the probability approaches 100%.

I guess something like 50% in five years, 80% in ten years, 99.99% in twenty years.

Let us assume it is not fraud. What in the world would ballots be doing on a flash drive?

Mark your paper ballot
Scan it
Save scan on flash drive
Transmit flash drive to state HQ

Just a guess, but that is how I voted in VA, mark the paper, then scan it

555 sounds sarcastic. The proper phrase is 55555.

Life imitates art.

She is wonderful!

Larry, I always get the image of you as a blinkered horse, or mythical head-in-sand ostrich

Beethoven's fifth symphony is a song.

It's more commonly presented as four songs, one for each movement.

Reminds me of 2000, when Secretary Baker came out to give an update on the Florida recount, he would invariably pause half way through to pitch his Ginsu Knife Collection.

And Trump says he won the election.

Yes, I think he very well might have.
