It depends on the margins. You can only do the lawsuit thing if the difference in votes is under 1% (though the GOP kept a lot of lawyers fat and happy in Minnesota in the 08 senate race). I think the difference will be higher this time.
“this will last well into April.”Oh, bugger. I’m about to catch a plane and be out of town for a week. I was hoping going to a non-English speaking country would shield me from the constant gawking over here (what am I thinking, Austria isn’t far enough. If Morty is this clued up on the American elections, I guess his Germanic cousins across the border won’t be any different. Ach, Scheiße)
…and no-ones eating humble pie.Well, there was a discussion on TV last night with former Austrian ambassadors to the US. Fortunately, my German isn’t so well developed to understand what was being said so I skipped it! In comparison to the UK coverage here is muted. And since the win was quite clear cut, it’s settled. Good.

Check back in tomorrow when the shock of 4 more years wears off. You’ll be hearing the same talking points and rhetoric, just like every other day.
