I was sure it would be at least a week before we had definitive results,
that they would be very close, and that there would be multiple challenges.

 It was never close. That was just another MSM lie so it would be
easier to fix the result again. But Trump was *so* far ahead that any
fix would have been easily exposed as such. It was just too risky to
even contemplate.

The polls were pretty much bang on; that _someone_ would likely sweep the swing states was known for weeks, months. The scenarios where swing states got split were statistically unlikely.
Running a candidate like Kamala who had not even a primary mandate and three months to do a not particularly inspiring campaign up against a billionaire celebrity like Trump was a big gamble, anyone with a brain knew that. Did the Democrats? Who can say..
