DeWine is defying the judges orders and moving the election to June 2nd

I'm not seeing any news on this.
Can you please post a link. Thank you.

Does anyone see the NYT election results page up yet?
I have been checking for the usual set-up page they do to report the exact numbers for each state, but I cannot find it.
If you find it, please post the link.

I copied your link, and placed it on the opening post for others to see it there.
When I click on it, it unfortunately does have a register/pay wall to view though.
I didn't notice this in the past primary elections for the NYT results page. Did they just start doing it with this primary?

Good evening everyone. Hope you are all healthy in these crazy times.

Hello. Thank you for the kind words.

I just saw Illinois change color, and CNN is calling Biden the winner for that state (with 36% In).

[ProudModerate2]

The Bernie supporter on the CNN panel lol just got exposed for her hypocrisy on delaying elections

Tell us a-little bit more detail on what was said.

The Bernie hate-circle here is fascinating. Bernie's someone you're going to need this fall for Biden to defeat Trump. He's hugely popular with an important chunk of the Democratic Party, and he's arguably the most transformative progressive in a generation.

Yes, it's time for Bernie to exit the race. Give the man some time. This entire situation is new and surprising, as I'm sure Bernie expected to be able to rally his supporters and GOTV through organizing as he's traditionally done in the past. He hasn't been able to do that due to the pandemic, and as I've said before, he will leave the race soon.

Whatever. Sanders's supporters smeared folks like Warren, Beto, Harris, and Pete- making ridiculous and defamatory claims, pushed candidates out of the race with vengeance and glee. He flopped, he's a fraud, and his claims about bringing all these new voters to the polls without the evil witch corrupt neolib corporate slut whore Hillary in the way was a LIE.

Bye Bernie! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Come on guys, enough. The Family Feud is over, Bernie deserves to leave with dignity, and we all need to unite against arguably the literal worst president in history. Seriously, at this point I think Trump is arguably worse than Buchanan, Fillmore, or Nixon.

There is no way Trump is worse than Piece, Buchanan, or A Johnson and even Hoover.
Hoover was also clearly worse than Nixon in every way as well

People will disagree with you.
But even by your assessment, trump is in the bottom 5/6 of all-time worst.
Most people didn't even live through any of the other "horrible candidates" you listed (some maybe Nixon), so to have "the worst in their/our lifetime" (trump), is something we will all remember for the rest of our lives.
