    Maybe. I can tell you Trump probably didn’t need help from the Lincoln Project to turn off people from voting for him. As someone that leans Republican, I voted for Biden. In fact, I voted Democrat or Libertarian for each candidate. I don’t think the Republican Party deserves my vote this year largely due to Trump. So the impact of the Lincoln Project is certainly debatable but did they perhaps meet their objective? Maybe.

    GA is looking promising for Biden. I still don't think it will flip but who knows.

    It was a very foolish error by Biden. Still, Texas wasn’t going blue this election cycle. In 4 years it will be a toss up state. In 8 years it likely leans blue.

    Texas is going to be a huge problem for Republicans in the Electoral College if they cannot switch several states. California and Texas is a load of votes.

    Thank god
    Wisconsin recount won't matter then.

    Don't think they'll get a recount in Michigan as it's over 1% or Pennsylvania which is 0.5% I believe.

    Probably can call the election with a Pennsylvania win tonight.

    5 elections doesn't count for much in the history of this country and that 68m others share your views, counts for even less. The 'common' in common-sense does not refer to popularity, but the barest minimum.

    They take down ones that are known to be false and misleading.

    All the votes are not in, so there is no way to know how successful the project was. Further, it is possible the percentages would be even higher without it.

    If Biden wins, it was a successful campaign by the project.

    It largely depends on who is running?

    Cruz or Cotton will carry Texas easily versus just about anybody.

    Biden winning without carrying the Senate means it was an anti Trump turnout more than a pro Dem mandate

    Why isn't Trump telling Arizona and Nevada to stop counting?

    Don't think this is the word you are looking for.

    I think you are looking for this word:

    https://www.dictionary.com/browse/incompetent

    Here, I'll use the noun version in a sentence: Your word selection displayed incompetence in your vocabulary.

    More people voted this year, period.

    To accurately understand, you need to know the percentage of the overall votes that went to republicans both times and then determine the differential.

    Absolute values don't count for mere increase in polling numbers.

    That 8000 vote margin in Nevada is driving me nuts, especially because it seems like they've added nothing to it for like 6 hours. I keep checking back in and its still balanced on a razor's edge.
