I ran dry of Drambuie, sipping and watching the night develop last time. That's not going to happen, this time.
Drambuie? Did you need a shot of insulin halfway through?

Fun fact. I keep my stamped mail (stamp collector) and here in NC, over the past 10 years or so, fully half my stamped, delivered mail does not get postmarked. (I keep them separate, and actually still have them all, on their original envelopes lest anyone think I jest or exaggerate.) No pattern - local, across the state, across the country, bulk, first-class, non-profit - stamps used, but not cancelled.)
Bringing this factoid into focus re: mailed NC ballots. What are they going to do if the same thing happens with absentee ballots, and half of those come in without postmarks and can't be dated?
My guess is that the 'every vote must count' idiocy will cause the undated/uncancelled ballots to be accepted during this period too. Giving the ballot-stuffers carte blanche and plenty of time to backfill.
I sure hope Trump/Tillis wins by enough of a percentage that this can't undo the win. Otherwise it'll be ugly in the Old North State next week.

Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless.

Water. Maybe some iced tea or coffee if I'm feeling wild.
I'm going to be hunkered down at home with the doors locked, the dogs inside, and my rifle loaded. I fully expect a) a Trump landslide, b) the utter melt-down of the radical leftists (especially the idiots who believe the lying polls and the lying msm saying buyden is still ahead), and c) widespread unlawfulness in the lib areas once all the snowflakes find out they aren't getting their way and Orange Man Bad has just been elected for another four years.
Fortunately, I don't expect much trouble where I live, since it's a very conservative area.

Me too... But when they call it for Trump, I will have a large, stiff drink in celebration.
Like I have said in other threads... too many BLM signs on my street alone.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Hackers have stolen $2.3 million from the Wisconsin Republican Party’s account that was being used to help reelect President Donald Trump in the key battleground state, the party’s chairman told The Associated Press on Thursday.
The party noticed the suspicious activity on Oct. 22 and contacted the FBI on Friday, said Republican Party Chairman Andrew Hitt.
Hitt said he was not aware of any other state GOP being targeted for a similar hack, but state parties were warned at the Republican National Convention this summer to be on the lookout for cyber attacks.
Hitt said the hackers manipulated invoices from four vendors who were being paid for direct mail for Trump’s reelection efforts as well as for pro-Trump material such as hats to be handed out to supporters. Invoices and other documents were altered so when the party paid them for the services rendered, the money went to the hackers instead of the vendors, Hitt said.
The hack was discovered after someone noticed that an invoice was generated that should not have been, he said.
Hitt said it appears the attack began as a phishing attempt and no data appears to have been stolen, said party spokesman Alec Zimmerman.

FNC just switched from the Trump rally to the Biden, ummm, get together. Jesus. What else can you say. It's pathetic. It sounds like he's standing in the middle of an intersection. Ridiculous the cars honking.

I would troll him by constantly honking a train horn that I'd install on my truck for just that purpose.

Might have to get some Coke Zero for when the Diet Coke buzz wears off
