Nope. Recount and legal challenges LOOM.

 

[Fawlty]

Sure call it I dont care.

I do think Trump DOJ will claim election rigging and there is a chance to reverse results and as Dems say "steal" the election. I think this wont be over till late January when legally a new president or Trump takes office. Also mid December is when the delegates have to vote by, right now Biden is not for sure awarded delegates and it is being challenged. The delegatds have not voted and this may likely hit the Supreme Court or see state legislatures compel delegates to vote a certain way.


Call it now if you want but it is not over and if it reverses and I win then 3 months should start new.

I'm okay waiting a bit to call this one. It's looking like 52 seats max for Republicans, but if there are any that could be affected by recounts or ballot invalidation, we should wait.

11 bets got called in this thread. Since the others seem like they'll linger on for a bit and I usually turn them over every 10, I'll probably make the next version in a bit.
