We have not had many posts about the US Election as frankly, we are as stunned by it all as the rest of you probably are. Game of Thrones could not come up with storylines as bonkers as we are seeing unfold in the states.
The tension is phenomenal, I am obsessively checking the New York Times homepage. The latest twist is Trump demanding they stop the count:

Like most things about Trump, this statement does not make any sense. Biden is ahead in the popular vote and electoral college votes.
We have Trump supporters in Michigan demanding ‘Stop the count’ while other Trump supporters in other locations chant ‘Count the vote’.
Trump supporters: "Stop the vote!"

Meanwhile, Trump’s personal Spiritual Advisor has been conducting a prayer service. Turn on your speakers and pump up the volume! Angels are being dispatched right now! I hear the sound of victory!
Presidential spiritual adviser Paula White is currently leading an impassioned prayer service in an effort to secure Trump's reelection. We have added a techno beat SOUND ON #USElectionResults #USElections #USElection #USElections2020 #STOPTHECOUNT #EricTrump pic.twitter.com/lYjObBqZBt

Biden seems on course to win but frankly, anything is possible. Stay tuned, this show is far from over.
Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Winston Churchill
