    I have been saying that trump will claim victory on election night. Dems are mail in voting. Every dem I know, which is many, mailed in their vote. These will not be done being counted for days? weeks? after election day. Trump will absolutely be winning on election night. Biden will deny it and say 'no, we need to wait for the mail ins'. But low and behold, the mail ins will never be counted and Biden will slowly fade into distant memory... Good news is trump is bad at coups so from the global perspective this might be the slightly better outcome

      I agree with you. I think if Trump wins, he's likely to be leading in the popular vote around midnight before all the mail in ballots are counted and he'll be declared winner.

      I can also see him just winning outright due to how the polls recently shifted in swing states and it's closer than the media is saying.

        Idk about him winning outright. Hilary was uniquely unlikeable and the most important thing about trump was he was something new. Both of those things aren't true this time.
