“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.” – Psalm 33:12

Initial results are in and early calls have been made. So far there are no surprises. Ten states, including Florida, have been called for Trump and eight states have been called for Harris. Here are some general observations, much of which is subjective at this point based on my years of experience.

Kudos to RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump. All throughout the day, the RNC had serious ballot integrity effort under way so that at the first signs of predictable Democrat cheating, we immediately went into court to correct the situation.

While the night is still young, Harmeet Dhillon reports that everything seems to be running smoothly in Maricopa County, Arizona. The big challenge is making sure people get in line so they can vote.

There is one troubling area where we still need more information. An alleged “tabulation error” in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has resulted in 31,000 absentee ballots being recounted. Election officials made this announcement without stating any results. This is the kind of thing that puts us all on edge.

The Florida Example. Florida is the third largest state in the country and they are racing through the counting process. Donald Trump and Sen. Rick Scott are leading by nearly one million votes. In fact, Trump is reportedly up by double digits in heavily Hispanic Miami-Dade County, suggesting he may perform well with Hispanics across the country.

But how is it that Florida can count ballots so efficiently and will have their results in a few hours while much smaller states are saying it will take days or weeks? It doesn’t weeks to count votes. It takes weeks to cheat.

A CNN exit poll found that the degree of dissatisfaction with the direction of the country is extraordinary, and that should help Trump. Commentators said this was a very strong current Harris must swim against since she has been in office the last four years.

One exit poll indicated that independent voters in Georgia were breaking for Trump by high single digits.

A disturbing note about the larger picture of what’s happening in America.

A Michigan father was interviewed about the election and he got very emotional when he said he voted for Kamala Harris. Why? Because he is so worried his daughters will not have control of their own bodies and be able to abort his future grandchildren. He is reportedly an employee of Calvin College, a Christian institution.

In normal, America people wept when they lost a child or grandchild. This is presumably a Christian man working at a Christian college who weeps that his daughters may not be able to kill his grandchildren.

Just remember this story the next time someone says, “I don’t want to get involved in politics. It has nothing to do with me.” Or “We all agree on the big things. We just need to work on the little things.”

Wrong on both counts.
