Biden // Harris => What a team!

Georgia is annoyingly close. What irks me also is 3rd party votes. I am fine with more parties but maybe don't do it in a year like this. If he loses Arizona I will cry.

Georgia is so darn tantalizingly close! Hoping for a WIN!!!

At this instant:

trump 2,447,223 49.40%
Biden 2,445,321 49.36%

You are looking at fewer than 2000 votes! There is a call out to check your ballot online to make sure it was accepted - you have Friday to fix it if it was not accepted.

Several states are probably going to a recount. I'm holding my breath.

I'm okay with that. Would be sweet justice if there were even MORE Biden votes the second time around.

I have CNN in the background, laying out the figures. It seems nobody wants to state the obvious but hey! WE DID IT!

Yes! Yes! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure the lyrics make any sense here, but anyway:

The first SNL after the 2016 election opened with the group singing this song. I think of it like bookends.

YES WE CAN -- and YES WE DID!!!!!!!

I played and replayed the SNL rendition of this 4 years ago. At the time it was with a broken heart.

I love KDLang's version too. This is excellent. My heart is healed.

Edit. I don't know why I broke down in tears listening to this song again.

So did I & my daughter.

The Republic stands.

I woke up to the best news that I've heard in a long time. I admit I was in tears. Now we have a chance to heal this country.

Congratulations on your new president! I've been so nervous on your behalf, but now I'm just happy!

Tears of joy and relief. This sums it up perfectly:

Great pic. Michael Steele?
Thanks for the support from those of you who are not Americans. We needed it.

Van Jones. "Political commentator Van Jones cried as CNN called the US election for Joe Biden. Jones said: 'It's easier to be a parent this morning ... to tell your kids character matters. Telling the truth matters. Being a good person matters.'"

This is fun:

I told people the other day that the country was on fire and this election was going to either put water or gasoline on it.

Grateful it was water. Still a lot of work to do, though.

Cute video. I felt a little like dancing myself, today. :)

The clip of Van Jones on The Guardian. It is hard not to cry too:
