Bad news: Election Night in America just got renewed for another season. Yes, we knew it would take a while to tally all the votes during a pandemic. But it’s still hard to suffer through all the counting. OK, it’s harder for some than others. Sadly, the most undemocratic president in US history has followed his efforts to slow the mail with demands to “STOP THE COUNT.” He even wants to stop the count in places where he’s currently behind, which may sound counterintuitive, until you realize this is all about him counting on a counter-revolution against reality. Thankfully, this effort at American counterculture is being counteracted by state leaders who have launched their own countermeasures and are discounting the demands of the president, who before this is over may ban Count Chocula and order Rain Man to stop counting. Maybe he’s less worried about ballot counts and more worried about criminal counts? For now, it looks like the incumbent is facing a challenge as steep as Count Rushmore, but it’s not over until it’s over, and that means every vote counts. Unless the president wants to accept this counter offer: We’ll stop counting when we get to 46. The saddest and most unexplainable part of all this is how counterproductive it is that more than sixty million people could have voted for this counterfeit conman. For now, I’m going to listen to the Counting Crows while I’m counting sheep on the way to counting Zzzs. Wake me up when there’s a new dawn. (If you’re hoping for a new Don, don’t count on it.)
