Shamefully, I've assumed that the electors will vote along party lines, so it's done and dusted. But I will raise a glass when Biden's victory is confirmed. Even though it is always the case that the Republican Senate try to block a Democrat President at every possible opportunity. Another bumpy 4 years. Also Trump was new for me. Never thought I could despise a US President more than Bush. Hey-ho.

After today the attention will shift to the Senate races, a Republican majority looked nailed on not so long ago, was trading below 1.05 now available at 1.49 with no majority a 2/1 shot.

No majority would hand control of the House and Senate to the Democrats, the nightmare scenario for Republicans could come true

It's a fraud! Dead electors voting, electors voting twice, etc. :)

I wonder if they will close the market and Biden is still available at 1.01 or so.

I haven't checked the State election rules - but Arizona just cast their votes, and u can back at 1.02
