MSFT should be at 85+ by now. This is crazy. That is why it is important to be patient, longer term, opportunistic.

Johnd, Oregon doesn't matter. Whoever wins Florida will win, unless IOWA, Wisconsin, New Mexico can be turned around too. This is a mess. This recount should be done before EOD, and the president-elect declared before tomorrow...

Oregon? What is going on?

Oregon just completed the first-ever 100% vote by mail election, and a couple of things happened:

1. Very high turnout - above 80% - means more ballots to count.

2. While computers calculate the votes, humans have to verify the signature on the ballot first. More ballots = more signatures to verify = delays.

3. The vote's pretty close, so no one wants to call it until the counting is done.
