As I pointed out just a few days ago the goal of a politician is not to win "by one vote."

It is to win by enough that the margin of cheating, and cheating occurs in every single election, is exceeded.

Trump did that last night.

Further, by the Democrats rules, he didn't get 277 (so far) EVs, with Michigan, Arizona, Nevada and Alaska outstanding: He got all of them because he also won the popular vote and remember, the left has said the Electoral College should be abolished and they've even engaged, in a number of states, in an unlawful Interstate Compact (all such must be approved by Congress) to that effect.

Well, he won there too -- at last check by about five million votes.

Harris has thus far refused to concede.  The sore loser syndrome isn't going to work this time; its not close.  With 96% in Michigan has Trump up by about 100,000 votes which again is almost-certainly beyond the margin of cheating if there is cheating, There are approximately 7 million registered voters in Michigan and historical trends say about 70% turn out in a general election on the high end (we'll go with that) so only about 147,000 votes remain out.  It is implausible that with about 100,000 votes separating the two they break for Harris at a ratio sufficient to win.  Similar stories (but with larger outstanding vote amounts) apply to Nevada, Arizona and Alaska.

It is rather likely that the 226 EVs that Harris has is all she's going to get.

In addition the GOP has secured 51 Senate seats -- which means no obstruction games with nominees.

The House is less-certain; the current "called numbers" are GOP +1 from where they are now, but there are plenty of races that are not resolved, with 218 needed.  Since Congress passes all appropriations and no branch of government can spend a nickel otherwise, there's a problem here given that basically everyone, who must stand for election every two years, was returned at least in party if not in name.

Oh by the way, if you believe the 2020 vote counts given this election and its vote counts you need to account for a large number of people who "disappeared."  Yes, I know the Democrats and Fauci slaughtered a crap-ton of Americans with their various nostrums and bribes, but that many?  The entire count is not in and when it is I'll run a voting-age population-adjusted analysis (remember, I have that from the BLS data) and see what there is to find.

I'll have much more to say in the next couple of days on what has to happen given that Harris and Biden have thrown into the economy a disastrous set of policies and tried to buy the outcome of the election with many of them, none of which we can afford and all of which are going to come to the forefront early next year and forward.

But for now, this is sufficient: The cry room lease has been canceled; there is work to be done and your choices are either to engage and do so -- and no BS obstructionism either -- or be ejected and starve.
