Last night at this time I reported that almost 65,000,000 Americans had voted. According to the US Elections Project, that number is up to 69,645,195. Thank you to the approximately 5 million people whose votes were cast in the past 24 hours.
Stress levels at Casa Brillig are approaching overwhelming levels. Both sophomore and graduate student-in-residence are eyeball deep in work, Mr. Brillig would love for his workload to drop down to merely eyeball level, and I’m trying to juggle all the moving parts necessary for my role as Chief Procurement, Supply & Support Officer. Add SCOTUS, election worries and rising COVID numbers and we’re hanging on by our fingernails.
However… this time next week East Coast polls will have closed and we will be on our way to ending our long national nightmare.
Before we hop the story break and go directly to the Tops… won’t you take a step to the left with me and some of our favorite people?
If you’re looking for more RHPS, the good folk at WisDems have a treat for you on Halloween.

TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments?

From Kalisiin:
In this comment by MusicianinLA in their diary Tough talk on dealing with repairing the damage to SCOTUS, ACB is referred to as "Attila The Nun". I laughed so damn hard it took me five minutes to make this nomination, and I even sent it the first time to the wrong place, LOL.
