Confusion Wins the 2020 Presidential Election

Your faithful Peasant stayed up until one in the morning

listening to the Election results, and things looked pretty 

good for President Trump as he was closing in on ex-
Vice President Joe Biden. The president had a 10,000

vote lead in the Badger State when I went to bed, and 

also had the lead in Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia,

and was neck-and-neck in Arizona after being declared

the winner in Florida. When I arose the next morning it

was a completely different landscape.

The lead President Trump had in my home state vanished

with the counting of the mail-in votes along with the 

early votes, and Biden is as of this posting is Wisconsin's

likely winner. North Carolina and Georgia had yet to 

announce their results, ditto Michigan but with Michigan

seeing a Dem vote surge with the addition of the votes from

Wayne County (where Detroit is located). Arizona had

declared Biden the winner but that may not last for the 

reasons given just up ahead. And Pennsylvania is 

a picture of bedlam with both parties already turning their 

lawyers loose in the Keystone State to check on the tallying

and Team Trump is looking to launch a lawsuit that will

be heard by the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the Trump 

forces are calling into question the results in Arizona

where that state's results were taken down and the 

declaration of a winner now held in abeyance. 

Mail-in voting has always been a controversial idea, as it

has been criticized by some, chiefly Republicans, as 

being an invitation to ballot shenanigans. My state will

also be looked at closely by the Trumpians concerning

this, as it along with other states which allowed mail-in

voting this election are being viewed with a wary eye.

So we are not going to have an officially declared winner

of the presidential election for some days or weeks.

I can't say that I didn't expect this, although I had begun 

to believe that President Trump would win by a landslide

what with the voters flocking to his law and order 

statements in response to the riots and accompanying 

carnage in several cities across the country over some

incidents of possible police abuses of crime suspects.

People prefer safety and protection, and rely on the 

police and their elected leaders i.e. their mayors to

guarantee their safety and not side with the dangerous 

elements running wild in their communities, and Trump

understands this. In 1968 the Democrats' chances of

electing Sen. Hubert Humphrey president were seriously 

damaged by the anti-war riot which erupted nearby the 

site of the Dem's convention, and most Americans 

were appalled and frightened by what they saw on their 

televisions, many so much so that they elected Richard 

Nixon, and I thought that we'd see history repeat itself.

This could still happen, as Team Trump are fighting as 

best they can to win the election even if they have to fight 

in court. President Trump could still win. Let us hope and 

pray, my fabulous, indefatigable readers, that this ultimately

will happen.
