I went thru very much what you're describing for only about 4 days, and only late afternoon thru evenings, ending 2 days ago. No kidding… freaking bizarre. Very frustrating. And I still don't know what the problem was—tried 5 different browsers (Brave, Chrome, TOR, Firefox, Safari) and couldn't upload pics (couldn't get on at all with Brave/Chrome), while it was clear everyone else was smooth sailing along. I cleared caches, rebooted systems, reloaded my java script, etc. Wish I had advice. It seems to have stopped now.
To some people on the ground, the anecdotal evidence that joe must have lost is slap-in-the-face real. I'm in a county (Mahoning—Youngstown, Ohio) that flipped red for the first time since Nixon in 1972. Only by 2%, but unheard of in my lifetime! We were the #2 steelmaker in the country to Pgh back in the hay-day, and had the same politics as any rustbelt, blue-collar city.
And yet we still voted in our CORRUPT Rep Congressman Tim Ryan by double digits. I'm still waiting for Awan scandal to bring him down. He sweats bullets every time he's on TV any more.
