The east coast so its actually no longer election day there isnt its moved on to november the 4th but in other parts of the country and in fact way out in the Pacific Ocean is the state of hawaii with 4 Electoral College votes going to joe biden of course the home state of his old boss barack obama. So were just adding that to the total mostly the total later on right now though i want to talk about North Carolina 15 Electoral College votes still too close to call but when we break down the numbers we start to get a little bit more of the picture. 100 percent reporting i believe its just short of that actually at the moment and donald trump has a 75000. 00 vote difference but once again North Carolina its the story of the night in so many states that rural urban split there is maybe still a little bit of a runway left for joe biden in the urban areas but it would only be a very small amount and remember in this sort of part of the United States when it goes North Carolina you could pos

The merchandise. This is chriss book. As soon as were finished go get a copy one way or another. I watched the gestation of this book. I remembersh a powerful lecture that christa gave two years ago in aspen where we are virtually, talking about the need for defense modernization. It was a startling wakeup call. I ate it writing a column about it. It began a conversation with chris that was part of his effort to develop this book and the arguments in it.
