    post-election

The election is ongoing, because the results are still being tallied.

That's not a dig at you, I'm pointing the finger at popular media pretending like an election is a one day culmination. No, it's a (regrettably) long process that requires us to prioritize the integrity of the vote tallying above apparently idiotic pollsters' naive attempts to treat this like "any other American election". We already knew that this election was going to be different.

If we find out that massive numbers of mail-in ballots have been suppressed, which would explain the pollsters' "wrongness", yeah, I'm gonna be really, really, really fuckin' angry. We don't know that yet, but with a white house that revolves around "we'll lie, and hope people don't find out the truth"? Yesh, there could be problems.
