I'm watching quite calmly, so need for any concerns.

Unlike Trump I am not suggesting that there are any "dirty tricks" involved in the voting process. Nor, so far as I can see, is anyone else.

What puzzles me is why he feels the need to do that when on the face of it, it seems there is a very real possibility he will win anyway. It only reconfirms my opinion that this man is totally unit to hold the post of President as the consequences will be to stir up discontent and further divide the people. A real leader speaks with calm reassurance at this point.

It all suggests to me that Trump knows he is probably just going to lose if he cannot get some of the votes thrown out.

However, I reserve my opinions until we finally know what has happened!

My overall sense though is one of sadness. The terrible divide in the USA is being further divided. The many good people there are being balanced by people whose values seem out of kilter with the modern world, together with some who have believed the lies about the intentions of the Democrats. That's not a healthy democracy and it sends a poor message to authoritarian regimes. Even if Trump is eventually removed questions will be asked as to how such a man, so clearly unfit to high office, came so close. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark!

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

The vote count percentage just stopped at the point the dem's knew they were losing.

People don't want their cities burned down.

ironically, this is probably now what they will get.

One aspect of the Florida result is that a fair percentage of the Hispanic population came from Cuba.

The Latino swing is not really that remarkable - the republicans pushed the socialist angle against Biden and it’s worked, immigrants coming to the US to escape socialist leaning states have been persuaded to not vote Biden. It was predicted

As for an African American swing, yes that is more interesting

Personally I don’t care for either candidate - it’s the worst pair for years. Trump has little in the way of anything approaching morality, dignity or any virtue you’d expect of a half decent human being, and Biden is severely lacking in energy and conviction.

The more trump sounds off his expected nonsense as this race gets tighter and tighter, the more I’d prefer for someone to just do us all a favour and turn him off. Infinitely better humans have been bumped off for much less.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

And it is us on the Right who encourage/cheer on violence?
