From the NY Times: "Musk to Spend Election Night With Trump Elon Musk plans to spend election night with former President Donald J. Trump, giving Mr. Trump direct access to the person controlling one of key information platforms on what could be a chaotic evening ... Mr. Musk is joining the evening as a Trump superfan. He has spent at least $119 million on a super PAC supporting Mr. Trump and has held events on his behalf in Pennsylvania. He and Mr. Trump talk several times a week ... Democrats fear that Mr. Musk may use his personal feed on X to promote election misinformation. In the weeks leading up to Tuesday, Mr. Musk has posted raw data on early votes to falsely suggest that Mr. Trump has an insurmountable lead in places like Pennsylvania, and he has shared his concerns about the reliability of voting machines. (Musk) has repeatedly warned that the 2024 election is an existential moment for America, warning in apocalyptic terms that democracy could falter if Mr. Trump lost."

My favorite response was "Which one's going to be the small spoon?"!! The AP says a whole lotta nuthin' goin' on - no serious violence, no overwhelming disruptions, across the country so far: <https://apnews.com/article/election-2024-voting-turnout-election-day-a8ae22f34 417dcda060b430dac89bdbc>. My favorite part: "The massive early voting turnout before Tuesday was driven partly by Republican voters ..." Yeah? I'll be it was driven in part by Dems and third-party voters, too. I mean, what does that even say?

If you, like I, need to have TV on - PBS is doing a good job. I started with NBC, CBS and was immediately on my last nerve. PBS not so hysterical and they have a good big panel of opinionators including Amy Walter who's one of my faves.

I agree about PBS. I have PBS with sound up on the tablet and ABC (via Hulu) muted on the TV. There are some important House races here in NY: 17th district: Republican Rep. Mike Lawler versus former Democratic Rep. Mondaire Jones. This district is composed of suburbs north of NYC. 4th district: Republican Rep. Anthony DEsposito facing Democratic challenger Laura Gillen. This is in Nassau County, on Long Island (east of NYC). 18th district: Democratic Rep. Pat Ryan against Republican Alison Esposito. Another north-of-NYC suburban district. 19th district: Republican Rep. Marc Molinaro versus Democratic attorney Josh Riley. This district covers a huge swath of the state (or as we in NYC condescendingly call it, "upstate"), from the Catskills Mountains all the way to the southern Finger Lakes.

I'm listening to KUT, the NPR station in Austin, and checking Facebook and twitter. I had the TV on for five minutes but I just can't stand it.
