And Kamala Harris is the new VP-elect.

A buddy of mine said MSDNC also called it for Biden. I have a hunch the C-suites of the various networks met and of course, with the last blessing of the AP, decided it would be sometime this morning, after Penn’s mail-in ballots counted were at 85% for Biden.

It's ok to celebrate the fall of a tyrant. Goodbye Trump.

Jibber-jabber, tweets, videos, and sunshine.

I want to congratulate all those who worked so hard to make this historic day possible. Now, through our continued grassroots organizing, let us create a government that works for ALL and not the few. Let us create a nation built on justice, not greed and bigotry.

11/4 General Election 2020 Updates –AZ, GA expected to Present New Totals and Open Thread

The Progressive Wing Posted on November 4, 2020 by BennyNovember 4, 2020

Continuing coverage about the GE and other news.
New York’s Working Families Party cleared the threshold to keep its automatic ballot line.

A progressive party in New York appears poised to retain its automatic ballot line, overcoming new barriers backed by the state’s Democratic governor, Andrew M. Cuomo.

According to late Tuesday night voter tallies, at least 283,000 New Yorkers voted for Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Kamala Harris on the Working Families Party line, amounting to 4.5 percent of all votes cast in the presidential election.

Those numbers far exceed the state’s new thresholds for third-party ballot access. According to the new rules, a third party must garner 130,000 votes in a presidential election, or 2 percent of the total vote — whichever is higher — if that party wants to retain its ballot line.

The previous threshold was 50,000 votes in a race for governor.

The Working Families Party has sparred with Mr. Cuomo in recent years. The new rules posed such a risk to the party’s electoral influence that it directed significant financial resources away from competitive races and toward preserving its ballot line.

“Working people and Black and brown communities are historically challenged when we grow in power — and the threat to our ballot line is no different,” Sochie Nnaemeka, the Working Families Party’s state director for New York, said in a statement Tuesday night. “What’s clear, though, is our campaign to protect the ballot line has only resulted in a stronger, more united progressive movement in New York State.”
