Voting is reported by precinct.

Smaller, more rural precincts finish counting first and report first. These tend to swing much heavier towards R than D.

This makes it look like a state is fully and quickly "going red." This is the Red Mirage.

Bigger, more urban districts take longer to count and may stay open to allow everyone in line to vote. (STAY IN LINE)

As those urban districts, which swing much heavier D, start to report in, we see what the news calls The Blue Shift.

In addition, some states don't allow counting of mail-in/absentee ballots to begin until election day.

Those ballots tend to lean very heavily D.

As those ballots come in, the Blue Shift gets more pronounced.

That's what Trump was complaining about 4y ago about how "oh suddenly at 2 am all these votes out of nowhere." Those were absentee ballots being reported.

Additionally, deep red states are most likely to be called very quickly after polls close. This is why it looks like Trump is way ahead in electoral college votes right now.

“Honey come here. I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you didn’t know what Tupperware you have to use. Here, let me explain every container we have. That way the next time you have to put food away you know which container to use.”

And then proceed, in excruciating detail, which containers are which, what they are used for, the correct lids, and how to put on the lids. Do it in as condescending voice as possible.

If he tries to say that he knows, or tries to stop you in any way, just calmly say, “no, you shouldn’t be embarrassed by this. It’s okay to admit you don’t know how to do something. Next time just ask, sweetie.” And continue in as much inane detail as possible.

Boozhoo/hello!

My cousin from my community needs help with fundraising for her daughter’s NG feeding tube supplies! Also, she hasn’t been able to work since she’s with her daughter in the hospital. Here is some background:

“Hello everyone, my daughter Emilia Bouchard is now 9 months. She was diagnosed with infantile spasms (seizure disorder) at 4 months. Emilia is delayed in her development, but will soon to get physio, occupational, and speech therapy. It’s been a long 5 months of trying to get her seizures under control with the right medication. She is still in the process of trying to find the right one. Doctors are trying to find a cause to her seizures, we are now going to see if genetics could be the cause. The doctors plan right now is to find a seizure medication that will hopefully stop the seizures completely. During her few months on a high dose steroid, her immune system weakened. She did have pneumonia 2x since then in which she had to be admitted in the hospital and put on oxygen. The last time she was admitted in the hospital 4 weeks ago, they decided to NG tube feed her because the doctors felt like when she was feeding orally with a bottle, the liquid was going into her lungs instead of her stomach, causing an infection (pneumonia). She is now currently on the NG feeding tube to this day and will be for a while until the dietian says we can start trying to feed her orally with a bottle. It may takes some practise for her considering she has been on NG tube feeding for almost a month. But I’m sure we will get there. Note; she has been off oxygen for almost a week now :) progress. She is getting there slowly. Since she will be on the NG feeding tube for a while, I’m asking for any donations to help cover the costs of the feeding pump and supplies. Prayers and thoughts are much appreciated. Thank you so much in advance. https://www.gofundme.com/f/emilia-bouchard?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cf%2Bshare-flow

Anything will help!!! Even sharing!

Please help this Indigenous baby ❤️ She’s been through a lot, so helping the family would mean so much.
