Ambiguity has its revenge.

The election is now behind us. Comparing my expectations with the actual results, I got half of the outcome correct . . . Biden won convincingly over Trump. And Trump is indeed chewing the carpet and screaming that it all is very unfair. But the rest of the Democratic ticket did not do as well as I hoped. The House majority survived, but shrank. The Senate has not yet been decided. As it happens Georgia (which Biden won) had two Senatorial elections at issue. None were decided in November. So there are still two seats left to be decided. If both of them go to the Democrats, the Senate will be divided 50/50 . . . And the majority will be chosen by the vote of the Vice President as the presiding officer of the Senate. If one or more goes to the Republicans, then the Republican majority will continue. . . . This means that the incumbent president remains a force (in spite of all his whining about losing the presidency) and the Republican Party does not yet feel free to ignore him. We therefore are left in something of a limbo situation until January 5, 2021 - the date of the special election that will decide the Senate majority. The time from the November election until now has been an ocean of competing and terrified voices on both sides. And blatant attempts to overturn the result of the election by the incumbent. He has blatantly broken Federal Law by attempting to have the governors/legislatures in states that he lost (but that have Republicans controlling those offices) ignore their own (and federal) election law - and appoint electors in violation of law, so that he can increase his electoral vote count. In any rational world, this should result in felony prosecution of the person attempting to do this. We will see what happens here (and so far, it has been entirely ineffective, since the state officials are not open to ignoring the actual vote counts in their states in the interest of the eleciton loser's will. The result is both more equivocal than I had hoped, and also more complex. But I suppose that this reflects the reality of the imperfect and equivocal world in which we actually live.
