Nah; ships don’t disappear “suddenly”. It can take a minute or so, as the ship disappears from the bottom up. Similarly, an approaching ship’s top parts appear first, followed by lower and lower parts.

Nah; Trump wasn’t elected by the voters. It was the Electoral College who put him in office. The public vote is just a PR stunt to distract the voters and make (most of) them think they had something to do with the election.

They were afraid that the voters would chose someone they didn’t approve, so they invented this scheme as a way for those in power to “elect” the right sort of person no matter who the voters chose. Look it up in your history books. ;-)
So how does one find (and verify:-) the “latest” voting counts? Yeah; I know how to google it, but the results often lack dates, or are only the last update to something on the page.
