They sent me an application in the mail (great!) but why couldn't they email it to me? The CDC said that the virus can stay on paper for like 3 days or something, so I don't read my mail until about a week after I
get it. The other problem is that it has to be mailed back in.

Last election, I couldn't get people off their asses to go out & vote,
and now this election, I need people to get a form in the mail, if
they're like me they'll wait a week to open it, then fill out a form,
take it to the post office & drop it off, then actually vote on election day.

The planning for what was the most crooked election occurred long before the election night. It all makes perfect sense, as I can remember turning on Fox News and watching Bret Baier w/ Martha MacCallum as they told us all, that "-->this year<--" things would look quite different.

This was the first indication of things start to look sour, it was also at this time a lump began to form in my throat accompanied with a tinge of pain.

First a massive amount of mail in ballots, The numbers for Biden rose very quickly, like formula 1 race car as he racked up the votes, most of these votes were for Biden leaving Trump behind. Then we were told the numbers should begin to even out when the polls opened. True, the numbers did start to even, but then we heard from the picture within a picture that there was a problem and the odds were not looking good for Trump, it was at this time within the newscast & the network started its dramatic fade & its fall from grace.
I couldn't believe the types of things that I was hearing. I do believe they were one of the first networks to use the phrase President Elect Biden, even before any fight was even brought to bare to contest the results.

They were very strange moments and days watching Fox News, like it had a identity crisis, just like a dysfunctional family sitting around the table at a Thanksgiving Dinner, just as you would find while looking around the table,
you just knew where people stood with their views. Fox News had this similar feeling with their programming, you just knew that certain programs would be about dread along w/ a side helping of uncertainty as the topic related to Trump and yet other shows you would hear the total opposite which was
positive as it was optimistic, as if that part of the body was cancer free.

It was at this time, I gave Fox News double middle fingers and switched to Newsmax.

Biden began his presidency, from day 1 it has been a disaster, but we were
told to be patient, as it was early yet and he had not even reached 100 days yet. Those 100 days have come and gone and the Biden Administration is still
a disaster. The man is STILL a gaffe machine, he sounded & looked like a total buffoon when he was speaking to FEMA, stammering & stuttering, in-fact the
only clear part was the last few words when he said "thats what FEMA does
every single day".

Don't take my word for it, here is the video.

I believe you are lying. Why? Because this isn't how things work. The results of the mail-in ballots are not released before the polls open; news coverage starts when the polls close. This is to avoid having the early results affect voting habits. You could not have seen the numbers from the mail-in ballots prior to the polls opening.

There is many issues with your logic, but this is particularly disturbing.
Why on the election night the pundits on TV suggest that this year was going
to look differently with mail in ballots first nothing weird about that until they suggested that such votes could be going toward and for Joe Biden.
hmmm?

I mean why put yourself out there like that and tell us that this year it
would look different.

Followed by polls closing and the counting and ensuring that those votes would balance out.

Did the news screw up and tell us something that we were not suppose to know. Specially when it has not happened yet, or did they know what was going to happen because it was planned.

Sorry, here's the part where you claimed that you were seeing the results of the mail-in ballots prior to the polls opening:

Yeah, didn't happen. In fact, it happened exactly the opposite, didn't it? Trump was ahead initially, as the polls were being counted, wasn't he? And
then the mail-in ballots were counted. This is in fact the law in many
states; the mail-in ballots can't be touched until the poll counting is complete. And that's why Biden started to overtake Trump in the early morning hours, isn't it? And this was later used (whether dishonestly or
incompetently) to allege election fraud by Biden.

Do you have any theories as to how your recollection of this event became so corrupted?

Trump explicitly told his supporters not to vote by mail. He explicitly told them that voting by mail was susceptible to fraud. Is it any surprise that
they listened to him? Would it be particularly difficult to predict that meil-in votes would favor Biden after Trump had told his supporters not to
vote that way?

You cannot dispute that 1) no state voting results, partial or otherwise, are released until the polls in that state close, and 2) the early results
favored Trump. Both of these are counter to your narrative of how the evening proceeded.

Here is a live blog from the election night and into the next morning, from forex.com. You can find others by Googling "live blog 2020 election," but
what I find particularly interesting about this account is that it includes real-time commentary on how the changing totals were affecting the markets. Market analysts are quite meticulous record-keepers, and the trends mentioned can be verified; they clearly show a Trump lead early on, followed by a Biden lead later on. If your account of the evening is to be believed, then
forex.com (and virtually every other real-time account of the election) would have to be lying, and market records would have had to have been altered
after the fact to support that account. This is highly, highly unlikely.

They're news commentators; they can say whatever they'd like.

Followed by polls closing and the counting and ensuring that those votes would balance out.

You originally said the votes would balance out once the polls *opened*.

Did the news screw up and tell us something that we were not suppose to know. Specially when it has not happened yet, or did they know what was going to happen because it was planned.

Perhaps your memory of what they said is flawed, especially considering that your memory of the event in general is also flawed. What's particularly interesting is your memory of specific emotional responses to changes in the lead, considering that your memory has it exactly backward.

This was not an event to which you were the lone eye-witness; this was an
event simultaneously witnessed by millions of people.

Because Trump and the republican side of government had consistently downplayed the extent of the coronavirus and politicized efforts to prevent the spread, exacerbating the historical trend of mail-in voting leaning toward the democratic party?

It would be wise to have a wider gaze as you look at the events that shaped the ideas and the rational thought of President Trump in the first days of
covid-19 within the U.S. Specifically look at what the Dems did or tried to do President Trump prior to coronavirus coming to the United States.

Spied on his campaign.
Was called illegitimate. He was impeached twice.. He also acquitted twice. because of this hatred of Trump, they bucked him nearly at every opportunity. Grilled his appointees with what looked like an very aggressive interrogation. The Democrats must be made to accept some accountability and blame, if they weren't seething in hated over Trump, then perhaps we could of attacked covid with duel minds, Republican and Democrat for the greater good of the American People.

Yet President Trump accomplished a great deal, and he does not get enough credit that all that he did get done. Operation Warp Speed if it were not for President Trump's leadership, the U.S.A. would still not have a vaccine and there would be a lot more dead here in the U.S. as well as globally as well.

You have watched Joe Biden over these past few months, do you honestly believe that we within the U.S. would have a vaccine from a mind like Joe Biden's. From everything I have seen from Joe Biden and his untalented V.P., logic
would suggest that - it would be extremely unlikely.
