I hope and pray we can all celebrate wins by lots of Dems on Tuesday night. The Republican agenda is anti Christian and goes against everything Jesus taught.

We elected to not vote by mail for fear there would be problems. Oh wait, in Tennessee our vote really didn't matter except for maybe one person for school board.

Very impressed with the dedication and professionalism of election officials from secretaries of state to election administrators to poll workers to counting boards all across America, including red states like ours. They are taking their jobs seriously and doing it by the book.
