I was pleasantly surprised by the spontaneous LA gas station party, everyone is wearing masks and social distancing.
I pointed that out to someone who made that comment, and they gave me a non-committal response.

The story of the election, in a nutshell: Maricopa County posted its latest election data online as of Friday. They had breakdowns, by precinct, for all of the various races and measures.
In the Presidential Electors race, there were a total of 2,161,685 votes cast for either Biden or Trump.
Of those 2.1 million, 160,674 were cast on Election Day. Trump handily won the vote on election day, 63.4% to 36.6%.
The only problem was, that was
only 7.43% of the ballots cast. Over 2 million (2,001,011) were cast
before Election Day. Of those ballots, Biden won by a 51.15% to 48.85% margin, with over a million votes (1,023,516).
So the narrative is this: early voting is what swung this election to Biden.
