Appealed? Not so much, that seems preplanned. The appeal is who is next in line if Harris tripped down the stairs. ( presumably overbalanced after shoving Joe )
Of course Kamala would never assassinate Joe to take power. That's ridiculous. And Nancy is too frail. ( not enough $12 pint ice cream? )
But if you assume utter lack of morality, ( bets? ) and a plan in place to replace an ailing new President, ( as she herself said ) then there's a window where the Veep is appointed Prez & hasn't finished or formalized her choice for replacement Veep.
Enter Nancy, heroically, reluctantly, shouldering the immense burden in this time of crisis.
For the rest, just grab an armload of political thrillers and play madlibs with plot points & McGuffins.
My money would be on "Radical Christian Fundamentalist Terrorists" ( according to CNN ) that had no ties to George Soros at all, at all. ( according to CNN )
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go get a medical marijuana prescription because I'm sick of this election Century.
Took about 40 minutes. No suppression detected, however it is alarming to see how many Democrats are running for senate seats completely unopposed all over Georgia.
SEVEN of them, one in my own district. That is shameful in my opinion.
There were half a dozen people at a special side table in the voting room cancelling their absentee ballots.
Ballots they had not requested, and received anyway. They were told they couldn't cast a regular vote until the absentee one was cancelled out. Looked like it took about 5 minutes per person, but I thought it was strange and worth mentioning.
The Democracy Institute, which correctly predicted the Brexit vote, says President Trump is “set to win [the] US presidency by electoral college landslide.”
We can only hope.
The next couple weeks are going to suck, regardless.

Actually that's a great idea. Political power has always been an illusion. We all pretend some guy has power because we are Told he Was Chosen.
Hereditary King or Elected Premier, it's a guy who farts and sweats just like us, but A Choice Was Made.
Oh the Power is real. Here, in a terrible movie of a great novel, in what the director no doubt thought was a mockery, is the wisdom of Mao Zedong, from a fairly libertarian American author. Power comes from the ability to direct violence.
So Just Joe assuming power by proclamation, is actually a time tested way. Oh, sometimes it gets you beheaded and your family line eradicated, it depends on who you're trying to take from.
There's a great line in one of the Honor Harrington novels ( military SF ) where the good guys show up to save a planet from the bad guys. The Commodore of the good guys is on video call with the General of the occupation troops. After being told to "go away or they'll kill the political prisoners being held" the good guy issues an order, coded, ( initiate operation whatsit ) then offers a last chance to surrender. Told to go f himself, the good guy asks "why do people like you always assume you're more ruthless than people like me?" Then seconds later the building the bad guy is in is vaporized.
No matter what the eventual winners are, the desperation/rationalization that "latino" is a made up ethnic group should be remembered and repeated. ( If you don't vote for me, you ain't...)
As should the painful realization that half the pundit's friends just can't be irredeemable bigots! I doubt many will be able to make the connection that they've been horrible to others for politics like spoiled brats for longer than they remember, but the horrified cry that implies losing half your "good" friends instantly might shock some out of their delusional sadism??? ( Because they have developed the habit of rejecting from their lives family, friends, and sanity, to desperately hide in their shrinking echo chamber )
But the above traumatic breakthroughs may be twisted into more hate and insanity.
I can foretell the Harris Regime closing the Mexico border, and rounding up Latinos like FDR Japanese Americans to purge the mistakes of counting on illegals to keep her in power. The big tell would be equating Cubans with White Supremacists ( already done! ) and branding Mexicans as Evil Catholics, ( wait for it ) and ultimately propaganda accusing blacks and Hispanics with conspiracy with the Hated Jews. ( a real sign that Patriots need to stop the concentration camps from happening, by any means necessary )
There are some obsolete laws requiring mail in ballots to bear post marks to be accepted.
Bad news is the Post Office doesn't Do That ( cancel stamps and preprinted postage ) automatically anymore. It's not a conspiracy. It's that MOST mail today, by far, is commercial with preprinted postage. It makes no sense to pay someone to ink all that material. It comes to the Post Office presorted to save time and A Lot Of Money, so it doesn't pass, one at a time, through machines that would mark, spray ink on, them, to show they are in "the system". ( keeping you from reusing a stamp is actually secondary )
Demanding special treatment for carry and delivery of ballots is logical, has both historical and institutional roots, ( it's how it's been Done for generations ) and most importantly, Can Be Done, with only a small loss of speed.
Demanding putting ink on ballots is a Problem. The machines that did that have that function have mostly been rebuilt/replaced over the 20th & 21st centuries to use computer vision tech. Also to reduce Biological Warfare attacks. ( which killed my fellow Union members )
So. Manual postmarked ballots Will Be Delayed.
Finally, there's a serious problem with State Legislatures, and worse, courts, Ordering a Federally Controlled Non-profit organization around at the last minute. The only thing that keeps Interstate commerce going is the independence of the Service from State Interference. ( example, a State trying to stop delivery to oppressed minorities. Blacks, historically, specifically )
Opinion. There's nothing inherently wrong with mail in ballots, IF rational fraud prevention measures are taken.
An example is ballot harvesting by Party Minions. Absolutely a fraudulent scam. Must Be Stopped. Every ballot must be run through the system ( where abuses are rare and punished ) and delivered with transparency to the Election Offices. ( says here you got 34,000 ballots Tuesday, where are they?)
Finally... opinion... Any State that allows Party Fraud Ballot Harvesting has zero credibility on the vote counts. You can safely assume it's a Lie.
PA is a great example of Stupid Law. I'm not saying a deadline for receipt is inherently wrong. I'm saying stupid deadlines are often cheating.
The local Post Office on April 15 has a crew that takes your tax forms right out front. They keep taking them until the line of cars disappears, until well after Midnight, sometimes. It's a rational subversion of the letter of the law to enable the intent to be done properly.
Iirc the IRS tried to stop that, going hyper over controlling, and was basically told to go away or the Post Office would delay their mail until the Public torched the IRS offices... For all the bad publicity & jokes the Post Office gets, the IRS gets far less love.

Who's saying that, Emporer Whitmer? Or the reporting agencies? The screenshot I see on the PJMedia blog page clearly shows a jump from 1.9M to 2.1M for Biden...and as of right now, state totals show:
Joe Biden (D) 2,631,429 49.67% Donald J. Trump (R) * 2,584,477 48.78%
If it was a typo...it ain't corrected yet! And they say estimated >99% votes are counted. (Possibly >100%???)
Had a good friend come over, quite depressed, about the Election Fraud and fear of the Leftist Conquest. Very hard to cheer him up.
This was just day One of weeks, ( my bet is 5 ) before the counting, recounting, and lawyers/judges and Riots are done. We'll get through this, by any means...
In better news... Inspired by my despondent buddy, I cleaned the kitchen counter and put in a new ( made in Japan, an ally ) microwave. ( he enjoys organization, so an attempt at therapy ) Then ordered a kite-surfing "training kite" to try to use to tow my old canoe around the finger lakes ( and if successful, the mountain waters like Long Lake ) I may get some cross country skis if it pulls hard enough. Pics to follow.
That Melissa Mackenzie article is spot-on. We The People must make the best of what we get - fight the good fight, and be the Light in Biden's "dark winter".
Another thing that our President (he is still our President, for a couple more months) needs to focus on, is civil and legal suits against the Biden family, over the laptop and everything on it. If we can't stop the voter fraud at the counting stations, we can maybe get the man arrested before he can take office.
Wonder what the Constitution says about THAT scenario? (honest question, I haven't committed enough of the document to memory...)
More importantly, let us remember that life is so much more than politics. We have faith, family, and friends. Most leftists have only misery, rage, and mental illness. Maybe the occasional pet guppy or ferret. They don’t even have real friends, just co-conspirators.
ESPN racist ninny Jemele Hill Twittted out that she had just unfriended ALL her white “friends” because white people were to blame for reelecting Trump. “That’s on YOU, white people” she texted. Speaking for all white people, thank you for the credit, and confidence that Bad Orange Man will be reelected, but thousands of black and brown people helped too. Can you IMAGINE putting something that stupid out there in public? Collective punishment based on skin color for people who THOUGHT they were her “friends”?
Ms. Hill... Oh, is Ms. A White Thing? anyway Zir Hill is a very public example of immature tantrum perpetually childish easily manipulated Intolerance Useful Idiot. Since I don't watch her channel, she might be a great sports gal when she's not being a Tool of the Klan.
Best line... Mr. Trump should contest every aspect of this election that he can. And if that takes six months, then that will still be three years and six months LESS than Democrats and their media goons spent contesting the 2016 election.
