Out going Presidents also traditionally leave a note to the incoming president on the Resolute Desk. I wonder what DJT's note will say to President Joe Biden❓

Preparation for a peaceful transfer of power is well underway.

I gather that is always set in motion months before an election.

Main interest in the post is that 'our man' Liddell feature prominently in the article and is overseeing most of the day-to-day work.

Modern "Typhoid Mary" Trump is not helping himself with lrage rallies in same areas. He's definitely killed a few of his supporters, but we'll never know the exact number due to lack of contact tracing.

New York Times: Outbreaks in swing states could have election consequences.

Socially distanced voting in Little Chute, Wis., on Thursday. Wisconsin is one of several battleground states where the coronavirus is surging.

Voters in several swing states are casting their ballots at the same time the coronavirus reaches new peaks in their communities, creating more uncertainty about how they will vote — and for whom.

The pandemic has killed nearly 230,000 people in the United States and upended the nation’s economy. Now it could help decide the presidential election.

Some electoral battlegrounds, like Michigan and North Carolina, are seeing record numbers of new cases and deaths. Hospitals in Wisconsin and other hard-hit areas are reaching capacity, pushing health care providers to the brink and leaving their workers reeling. Other swing states, like Pennsylvania, Florida and Arizona, are experiencing more mild upswings.

“Things are really running rampant, so there is a lot of discontent,” said Barry Burden, director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Wisconsin narrowly voted for President Trump in 2016, but the virus may change the outlook for him there.

“I do think it provides more of a challenge for Trump to try and win the state because any news about the pandemic — it’s not good for him,” Dr. Burden said.

Already, the pandemic has complicated the voting process.

Because of concerns the virus would hamper people’s ability to vote, several states have encouraged mail-in voting. About 1.64 million people had returned absentee ballots in Wisconsin as of Thursday, more than half of the total ballots cast in 2016.

In other battleground states like North Carolina, Florida and — this year — Texas, the president could see fading support from Republicans who feel frustrated by what they see as a lackluster federal response to the coronavirus. Those states may also see higher turnout among Democrats who opted to vote by mail for former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

“Enthusiasm for turning out for Trump among Trump supporters will wane somewhat, and so it will affect turnout somewhat,” said John Aldrich, a professor of political science at Duke University. “I don’t think it’s going to be a massive thing.”

Still, he said, in places where elections can come down to a few thousand votes, “everything matters.”

Yep the shredders and fireplaces will be running hot 🔥 in the West Wing along with those large magnets 🧲 over the email hard drives. Plus don't forget the Oval Office tapes.

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Coverage starts at 4pm Wednesday:

US Election specials on November 4:

Three: 4pm – 6pm: America Decides, hosted by Paul Henry. 6pm - 7pm: Newshub Live at 6PM. 7pm – 8.30PM: Newshub US Election Special: America Decides, hosted by Samantha Hayes and Tom McRae

1 News: 4pm to 8:30pm: Hosted in studio by Simon Dallow, with Anna Burns-Francis and Jack Tame. Q+A with Jack Tame will broadcast two special programmes from Washington D.C on November 1 and 8.

But it's going to be like waiting for biopsy result on an ugly disfiguring lump that appeared on the face of mother earth. Even if likely the result will be benign, there's a two month waiting list to get the thing surgically removed.

Election day 2020:

- Preppers have long prepared with plenty of guns, grog and hostility in stock

- self-appointed militia armed to the teeth with military weapons roam the hills of every state

- Everyone not a democrat is convinced that everyone who is eats children

- Trump tweeting burn baby burn

- what could possibly go wrong?

Ok, thanks. If the start of coverage is about the time when results start flowing thats good to know

Most elections have an end, usually late evening. This one will have chapter after chapter, hugely embarrassing if you are American, but there will be a last hurrah.

Considering all the BS the Trump people have perpetrated with respect to early ballots, it is unlikely that a firm result will be known for some time.

The US Ambassador to NZ is leaving on the 20th December to take up a new job at a law school in the US.

The phrases 'rats leaving a sinking ship' and 'seeing the writing on the wall' spring to mind.

If I was him I'd be applying for asylum in order to avoid having to return to the US...
