I'm deleting every email I get saying, implying, suggesting, or assuming that Biden has won until all the votes have been counted and the states have all announced. Biden could still lose PA, GA, and either AZ or NV.

Even though I'll be skeptical until all the votes are in and Biden is the President elect, I am encouraged, John, by your hope which seems to me to be more than optimism but real HOPE, what the ancients called elpidos. So, skeptic that I am, thank you for this essay.

Who's gonna arrest the Pretendsident for attempting to subvert a federal election? I'm not talking about the recount demands nor the lawsuits (that's just bog standard politics). I'm talking about his press conferences, speeches and tweets calling on all his minions to converge on the vote counting sites, disrupt and potentially obliterate them.

Anyone...?
