State election officials around the country are pleading for more time to count the expected crush of absentee ballots on Election Day. “We expect we’ll go well into Wednesday...We hope we won’t go into Thursday.” https://t.co/zpAJAS2YqC

In a normal year, media coverage of Election Night feels silly but benign, like watching a democracy-themed Time Square ball drop. During a pandemic election, the race to name a winner could plunge the country into chaos. https://t.co/KLlU3QWTua

Hearing Trump claim that the Biden family is a "criminal enterprise" really drives home the point that the only accusations he can come up with-- about voting, misconduct, corruption, profit motive, all of it-- are the things he's actively doing at that moment.
