Popular vote does count. California isn't even close to being counted yet. All

OK, I'll admit it - I may have jumped the gun in my sorrow :c)

I remain *cautiously* optimistic, as I have heard they (the Democrats, and
probably the Greens, too) have called for a recount. I guess this could take
days, weeks, even *months* to go through, since every vote can be contested.
This should be interesting either way, but just in case I'm already adding
"eh?" to the end of my sentences.
