The votes are then counted in a joint session of Congress on January 6." Well, i will have drunk/drank myself to death by then. I was briefly deceived by the misleading reporting on msnbc.

The popular vote is almost 1:1 nothing like Intrade made it out to be. CNN's prediction off of exit polls are wrong. Some states reporting are going back toward the red side. Very interesting.
