LOL. No, sometime during Obama's last 4 years, they all got their humps in a huff and someone came up with a tea party facebook. It was almost identical. I joined it for a bit, simply to see what the nutters were up to but it was too insane to stick around, so I just left. I got emails for a while but finally noped those into the spam and now I can't recall what they called it.
Good news is that by the time this vaccine is actually made available to the public (summer 2021 it looks like), it'll be Biden's administration that rolls it out.
I’ll say this - Trump saying “we’ll all stop talking about Covid after the election” and then a vaccine immediately being announced on the Monday following his defeat is... unfortunate timing, if nothing else.

Or, pretty great timing if you have the intel to know approximate dates that these vaccines will start to announce good news...
Here are Biden's current leads, which continue to increase in PA, GA, and NV.
I think AR might actually flip back to Trump when all is and done, as Biden's lead keeps slipping.
PA: 45,595
GA: 10,676
AR: 16,976
NV: 38,186
I actually think Biden will hang on to Arizona at this point. Apparently the bulk of what is left now is provisional ballots and ballots needing signature cures, so the existing “outstanding” vote is likely not enough to make up the difference for Trump at this point. The last Maricopa drop being 55% Biden will turn out to be the nail in the coffin.
Also the Pennsylvania count has slowed to a crawl. The batches being posted are very small. I wonder (but don’t know) if this means Pennsylvania is also down to counting provisional ballots, many of which won’t be counted at all in the end. Hard to say, but it makes me wonder if there really are 62,000 votes still out there or if the real number is much lower.

Found it - sort of. It was called the Tea Party Community. It is now defunct. I can't get through to it because my computer starts screaming all kinds of warnings about it, but if a person does, it apparently redirects, ironically, to a facebook group.
One of the real silver linings of this is that it's now going to be much more mail in and early voting across the US.
Having elections on a workday that isn't a holiday always played into the hands of the slave states - the impoverished can't take the time off work to vote.
With states like California mailing ballots to every registered voter, the approach is going to spread throughout the US. Republicans know that the more votes that get cast, the less likely it is that the GOP can win (see Georgia and Stacy Abrams).
Now that early voting is going to be a norm, it's going to be harder and hard for Republicans to ignore and openly suppress the will of the American people (Background checks for guns, support of abortion rights, civil protections for refugees).
It's a bright day.
The Biden Administration should use every minute of the next four years to unwind voter suppression. Make the election a holiday, stop gerrymandering etc.

Voter suppression, and, I would add, disinformation

While i understand the motivation of making Election Day a holiday, the last thing I'd want is for a bunch of malcontents to have a free day to make it hard on everyone else.
Extend polling hours, make early voting easier but not sure a national holiday will have entirely positive effects.

I'll disagree simply because I feel the good intentioned people outnumber the malcontents in every situation save for Oiler home games.
