The Serious Election Day Thread

[outside shooter]

I'm not a big MSNBC guy, but Kornacki and Rachel are great, while Alex is easy on the eyes. Others are annoying as hell though. Maybe we are spared the Lawrence dude.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Okay, AP has called Braun, FWIW.

 

[cosmickid]

So with 91% of the vote in Boone County in Trump is ahead by 10.5 In 2020 he won by 18.5

I'll trade Reid for Lawrence any day.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Goddammit I just switched back to NewsNation to see Cuomo talking and O'Reilly smirking.

 

[cosmickid]

Cuban is facetiming with students waiting in long lines. And Trump is frantically calling into radio stations in WI and PA trying to get people to vote...

 

[ChicagoFineForNow]

Vermont was called too early. This is giving me AZ 2020 vibes.

 

[UncleMark]

Okay, AP has called Braun, FWIW.

NBC calls IN for Trump. Shocking.

 

[OpenWheels]

LOL, per Cuomo/Newsnation just now, more 'scanning software issues' in two PA counties that went heavily Trump in the past and Trump campaign asking people to please stay in line. Newsnation (Cuomo) said his report is people are leaving those long lines.

 

[OpenWheels]

I understand mechanical issues, but software issues?

Harris up by a point in Duval in FL…was 51-47 Biden in 2020

 

[Spartans9312]

Rick Scott running about even with Trump…a good sign for him

 

[sweetsilence]

So with 91% of the vote in Boone County in Trump is ahead by 10.5 In 2020 he won by 18.5

There was also a shade over 9000 more voters turnout in 2020. Just thought it interesting to note.

 

[mcmurtry66]

I actually thought she was a little too soft on that front, but, hey, that's why they don't pay me to run campaigns.

Harris up by a point in Duval in FL…was 51-47 Biden in 2020

Trump underperforming in Hamilton co. Burbs could be a bad harbinger for trump

 

[Spartans9312]

Harris only up by 1 in Hillsborough in FL…was 53-46 Biden

 

[Marvin the Martian]

Harris up by a point in Duval in FL…was 51-47 Biden in 2020

MSNBC was saying how the data shows a lot of Republicans moving to Florida since 20. They were suggesting as Florida becomes more Republican, some of these Midwestern states are losing Republicans.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Trump underperforming in Hamilton co. Burbs could be a bad harbinger for trump

Harris underperforming in some other areas. We could be witnessing a bit of a minor realignment.

 

[UncleMark]

Atlanta suburbs look to be slightly better for Harris than they were for Biden.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

If Trump wins Florida by record numbers, but Harris wins Iowa in exchange, that's a trade the Dems will take all day long.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Careful, that's because of the bias toward early votes. Those numbers will shift red over the rest of the evening.

Understood, but it was like 75% in, and the trend is for the election day vote to be less overwhelmingly Pub than before. I'm being hopeful, but not going overboard by any means.

 

[Joe_Hoopsier]

Okay, it's 6:00, so here's another traditional question: Whom are you watching? As usually, I'll default to NewsNation, but I'll get sick of Cuomo pretty quickly, and bounce around between MSNBC and Fox a lot. I can't handle CNN election coverage at all, and probably won't even glance at it except by accident.

Once in a while, BBC will probably be a quality check-in, too.

Sadly, and with only having a smidgen of an opportunity to see it back in the day. I though Al Gores Al Jazzera was well beyond equal reporting. But that was well over a minute ago and it didn't last. As a "muslim hatin redneck" I was very surprised of the coverage of them at the time.
But in lieu of that, Newsmax and OANN. Fox is dead to me, as of 3 years ago. "I've changed".

 

[BradStevens]

Do we need to keep everyone updated on all of them? Trump won SC too.

Please post a running EC score with every call.

 

[ChicagoFineForNow]

Rain all day in the Chicago area. Is it enough to flip Illinois Trump?

 

[UncleMark]

Gov. Cooper says NC election has gone off without a hitch. That's one helluva job after all they went through.

If that happens, I will believe in The Reckoning.

Ack! Lawrence is on, but Reid has stayed.

 

[Spartans9312]

Trump running a few points ahead of his 2020 numbers in a few deep red counties in GA

Harris up 52-47 in Palm Beach…was 56-43 Biden. Trump up 55-44 in Miami-Dade, was 53-46 Biden

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

NC also "Too early" to call. Hard to figure what that means, because it's up in the air who was really in the lead there.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

On the other hand, Too Early for Ohio is a huge boon for Harris.

 

[ChicagoFineForNow]

If that happens, I will believe in The Reckoning.

Don't be shocked. I saw some well-dressed people at the poll today. Not good for Harris. Did you also vote "No" on retaining every single Cook County judge?

 

[Spartans9312]

Luna up by 8 in FL-13 with 77% in

 

[ChicagoFineForNow]

Mark Robinson lost. Oh no.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Don't be shocked. I saw some well-dressed people at the poll today. Not good for Harris. Did you also vote "No" on retaining every single Cook County judge?

Am I the only one who always votes "Yes" on retaining judges?

 

[stollcpa]

You've got it backwards.

Looks like it’s been established that insults of Kamala voters is fine in this thread.

 

[BradStevens]

I do every year, except for the few I respect.

As long as they are clever, go for it.

 

[BradStevens]

Unfortunately, no, you are not.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Unfortunately, no, you are not.

I guess I just spent so much time in a county where I knew all the judges and respected them and fell into the habit.

That is not Cook County.
