I’m all for absentee voting, but you’ve got to say votes have to be in by a certain time. In this case, they opened it up. They made it so easy to do by a process that doesn’t set deadlines on when ballots have to be received. So the day after election, you need 10,000 votes? Okay, all of a sudden now we’ve got 10,500 votes. - Former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN), national chairman of the Republican Jewish Coalition, in an interview with Breitbart’s Joel Pollack

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast – Emily Harrington’s mantra as she free-climbed a 3,000foot granite wall known as El Capitan

I’m beyond thrilled that my friend Joe Biden and our first Black and IndianAmerican woman Vice President, Kamala Harris, are headed to restore some dignity, competence, and heart at the White House. Let’s remember that tens of millions of people voted for the status quo, even when it meant supporting lies, hate, chaos, and division. We’ve got a lot of work to do to reach out to these folks in the years ahead and connect with them on what unites us. – Twisted tweet by Michelle Obama

That is the president of the United States. That is the most powerful person in the world. And we see him like an obese turtle on his back flailing in the hot sun, realizing his time is over, but he just hasn’t accepted it and he wants to take everybody down with him, including this country. - CNN’s Anderson Cooper, after a President Trump press conference in which he discussed election fraud

Even if he has lost, a President who trampled the rule of law for four years was on pace to collect millions more votes this time than last. And though they braced for a bloodbath, the congressional Republicans who enabled him instead notched unexpected gains. The GOP appeared likely to retain the majority in the Senate and cut into the Democratic House majority, defying the polls and fundraising deficits. Republicans held onto states such as Florida, South Carolina, Ohio and Iowa that Democrats had hoped to flip. They cut into Democrats’ margins with nonwhite voters, made gains with Latinos in South Florida and the Rio Grande Valley, and racked up huge turnout among non-college-educated white people, while halting what many conservatives feared was an inexorable slide in the suburbs. – From Time Magazine’s post-mortem titled, “Even If Joe Biden Wins, He Will Govern in Donald Trump’s America”

I am a person with Down syndrome who will complete the Ironman. I am going to make history by crushing it. - Chris Nikic, age 21, from Maitland, Florida, talking to the TODAY show before becoming the first person with Down Syndrome to complete an Ironman triathlon
