If that holds it might be the most important late-counting lead-swap for us this cycle, unless Casey pulls off the same.

Forsyth county (Winston-Salem) is still outstanding, so there’s hope that the lead holds!

Jeez! Riggs’ lead is now a mere 24 votes. Hope that holds and increases, otherwise we’re probably looking at a litigated post-election mess.

Any ray of sunshine (however faint) is welcome in this Darkest Timeline.

Spot on! May I propose this weekend be dedicated to good food, good intoxicants and long walks?

Speaking of football, I now have Clemson-Pitt, tOSU-Northwestern, Utah-Colorado, and Texas-Arkansas on my quad view right now. It's go time!

Weekend already off to a poor start after the huge waste of time that was the Mike Tyson v Jake Paul fight, though idk what I was expecting

If I was into boxing, I would probably have watched the Serrano–Taylor fight and then turned it off before the farce started. I understand the women boxers fought an excellent match.

It was a really good undercard, especially since the two fights before it were fine but meh (though it was cool seeing India’s first major pro winning a decision)

Yep; went to bed way too late staying up for that garbage. I knew Tyson would likely look old as the fight went on but didn't expect him to have absolutely no legs by the 2nd round.

Especially since he looked surprisingly sharp in all his training videos.

Well, the definition of a really good boxer or football player is one who is able to correct his or her errors on the instant replay.

Actually lots of rays of sunshine in NC. Won the four most important Council of State races(Gov, Lt. Gov, AG, Super of Public Instruction). Plus, two of the Republican wins (Ag, Insurance) are people who have done an excellent job and didn’t need to be replaced (I voted for both, my only Republican votes).

Lt. Gov is really important since unlike Gov. Cooper, Gov. Stein will be able to leave the state without having to worry about the Lt. Gov wreaking havoc! Both Forrest and Robinson were disasters.
