Election Night 2020: The Official Datalounge Thread

How are you guys preparing? I just put in a $200.00 grocery delivery order.

Blue Tsunami.

I bought my wine, r1. Saving the celebratory food for November 5, my birthday. I want a Biden victory as my present!

Will the White House Bronco make it to Mar-A-Lago?

I thought they used Chevys, not Fords.

FL & TX results (early evening PDT) will dictate how I spent rest of evening and when go to bed

Too soon.

Don't reward this overzealous OP. He's off his meds and having a manic episode. He needs to get a life.

Where can one live stream election day coverage svp?

R7, I cannot believe there won't be wall-to-wall coverage on-air. For MSNBC live streaming:

I don’t drink, but I will tomorrow night. My nerves are already frazzled. It’s been a very stressful election cycle on top of the worst year on record and I can’t wait for it all to end.

I hope Trump is shitting his pants, I want him to suffer.

Bought a nice bottle of irish whiskey for a toast when Biden wins; also, because I am a weirdo, I hung up red, white & blue lights in my house.

Its 8:40 pm in Paris and France24 is saying the USA election is very very close. No clear leader. Makes one a bit nervous.

I'm locked down in Spain and have the cava ready for a Wednesday morning desayuno. Will need to be drunk either way.

Well, it turns out Ol' Joe was the right pick. Don't think Klobuchar or Pete or Elizabeth or even Bernie would have gone this far. A lot of it is due to Covid, but so what? Trump had one big challenge and he fucked it up over and over.

What disturbs me is so many contests across the land are neck-and-neck in the polls. Makes me suspicious because that's what Putin likes: make it seem like a tight race so when his candidate (or issue) wins it doesn't look so improbable. I know he can hack the polling machines- but can he manipulate the polls?

I'll only believe Putin didn't have his tiny paws in this election if Biden wins.

[quote] also, because I am a weirdo, I hung up red, white & blue lights in my house.

If that makes you a weirdo, then I like weirdos.

Texas federal district court - Harris County drive-through voting case - GOP lost, lacks standing, Harris County can count those votes - for now; GOP may find another plaintiff who has standing.

The story from Harris County.

I'm just popping in to say that I want Harry Enten to fuck me with that big Jewish cock of his.

I can’t wait. I’m going crazy and I need Wednesday morning to come as fast as possible. Couldn’t get any time off from work (mainly because they fired almost everybody during COVID with no intentions of replacing anyone - opportunistic fuckers), and I know I’ll be checking my phone until 2 am to see if they have declared a winner.

Trump supposedly having 400 people over at WH on election night. Yeah, Trump and 399 National Guard to protect him. lol

I think Biden has already clinched it.

I don't expect a winner to be announced tomorrow night although I'm sure Drumpf will declare victory early to get his base riled up. Think it will be a few anxiety ridden days unfortunately.

I think I'll start drinking early.

Bible Codes declare 2020 winner =

Interesting new piece from Barton Gellman. .

Enough of that coup fapping.

Trump and company weren't even competent enough to cover their tracks on a fucking fake laptop. How the hell are they going to pull off a coup?

We're lucky that Trump is as a competent as he is.

Gaga speaks near the beginning.

Patti Labelle spoke.

John Legend and Common sang that “Glory” piece. It was very touching. I cried quite a bit.

First votes are already counted! Dixville Notch, NH voted 5-0 for Biden, the first sweep in the town for a candidate in 60 years. Millsville, NH went 16-5 for Trump, but they always vote red.

THE NATIONAL CIRCUS

Tuesday’s Worst-Case Scenario

By Frank Rich

You're a bit late R1! Should have done that days ago.

Has everyone sharpened their guns? And filled the bath with water?

Oh fuck, I knew I got it wrong. I sharpened the bath and filled the guns with water.

This will end in tears and suicides for most Americans who didn't awaken yet. Now is the worst time to attach to politics and place stock on either candidate or institutions for that matter. This is the end of an era folks, a major shifting point.

R32, what do you meant by “awakened”. I’m intrigued by your post: what might the new era be like?

A shift from what to what?

I think r32 is talking about horoscope-related stuff.

He means the red pill.

Playing this one for all my fellow nerve-wrackers today 😬😬😬😬😬

There's still plenty of time to fix it R31!

R31, It was so obvious.

OP

Your validations in life are those of a very small man.

R32, I'm too old and unskilled to live off the grid or emigrate. I must continue to depend on institutions---financial, medical, and governmental.

[quote]First votes are already counted! Dixville Notch, NH voted 5-0 for Biden, the first sweep in the town for a candidate in 60 years.

Yes! The last candidate to do so was Dick Nixon... in 1960.

But you could pass for 41, right, r41?

One Day

[quote] Yes! The last candidate to do so was Dick Nixon... in 1960.

Uh oh. Tricky Dick didn’t win 1960.

I like flipping back and forth among MSNBC, BBC News, and NBC News Now. No ads that way.

Catch FOX for the laughs!

Just a reminder of what Rubio recently said, when he's running in 2024, the hack.

[quote]We Love What They Did’: Marco Rubio Praises Texas Trump Fan Caravan That Swarmed Biden Bus

Isn't it cute when pocket bottoms act all tough and shit?

I just want to pinch him!

I bet Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley are hoping Trump loses, so they can run against Harris in 2024.

Are we going to have another naive "reset" with Russia, like George W. and Obama did? Better than wholesale submission to them like Trump, but I'm just wondering.

No you're not r51. You're just shit-stirring.

Fuck off, R52.

So your name IS Erna.

[quote] I bet Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley are hoping Trump loses, so they can run against Harris in 2024.

On the list of the top 10 things I want to happen tonight is for the Libertarian candidate Ricky Harrison to keep Tom Cotton at 49% of the vote and force him into a run off. I think it would look terrible for him to try to run for president when he couldn't even get over 50% in his home state running technically unopposed...

Ooooooo, r55, I’m now attracted to you — I like how you think.

Tom Cotton is more dangerous than Josh Hawley, I think, so that'd great, R55.

Sweetest posible victories:

1. Biden over Trump

2. Harrison over Graham (SC)

3. Gideon over Collins (ME)

4. Ossoff over Perdue (GA)

5. Greenfield over Ernst (IA)

6. Cunningham over Tillis (NC)

Re R58, if all those occur, I'll probably have my first spontaneous orgasm!

Don't forget Mark Kelly over Martha McSally in AZ...can't wait for that cunt to fade away

R60 ack totally forgot that one! Thank you for mentioning it!

I just want to thank you all for staying on this ride with me the last five years now. It’s been the most awful experience of my life, but the beauty is that it has pulled me out of complacency. My stomach is in knots, I so desperately want us to win this.

Thank you, too, R62. I. think things might actually work out pretty ok tonight (don't want to jinx, fingers crossed).

I went to vote this morning and there was a line down the block. I have lived in this neighborhood for decades, and there has never been a line to get into the polling place. Never.

There's an electric charge in the air. Change is coming!

What time polls close in your state — and what to expect next

By Alyssa Fowers and Ann Gerhart

November 2 at 10:08 PM

We know when the polls are scheduled to close on Nov. 3. Little else is certain. Here’s what state officials say are their targets for reporting unofficial initial results in an election with unprecedented early voting, along with our analysis on how to regard those first tallies.

His coming presidential library.

r64 what state?

I’m in Brooklyn, NY R67

Jamie Harrison this morning on Morning Joe. Very touching at the end.

Jill Biden is in Tampa and St. Petersburg today! I'm glad they're still campaigning. I'd like to see someone in NC.

[quote] Judge Sullivan is preparing to issue an order for OIG inspectors to sweep USPS processing facilities today that had low processing scores for ballots delivered yesterday -- including in Florida, Georgia and Pennsylvania -- to make sure no mail-in ballots are left behind.

Trump breaking ground on his presidential library.

Remember that redistricting is up for vote in many states! State legislatures matter a great deal!

Ed Rendell was just on Andrea Mitchell and says it's looking good in PA. He was one of the people of note first to say things weren't looking good for HRC in 2016, particularly in the suburbs.

I love watching ballot processing - especially when they're put into the machines. Love it.

25 responses talking to yourself? You are really determined to make this thread happen, ain't ya boy?

[quote]Remember that redistricting is up for vote in many states! State legislatures matter a great deal!

Especially Texas. If Democrats can flip the House, they'll be in charge of redistricting. That would go a long way toward turning Texas blue.

[quote] an hour-by-hour Election Night guide

Huh r76?

More about redistricting in Texas.

democrats should infiltrate the republican party and run for congress and state governement positions, and be as far right as they can in such a way that people come to hate that party, and see it as the party of hate. if I were an infiltrated democrat politician in the republican party, I would fight agaisnt medicare, social security, so that people get scare shit voting that disgusting party.

R76 is just triggered.

Watching ballot signature checks - the process is as sophisticated as a Serbian street market.

Interesting analysis by Biden campaign about 10 swing states and what they need to do to win.

Here are PA, TX, OH, and FL

Here are NC, WI, and GA

AZ and MI

Reuters: US District Judge Emmet Sullivan has ordered the US Postal Service to conduct a sweep of some processing facilities to ensure no ballots have been held up, and that any discovered are immediately sent out for delivery. The order compels Postal Service inspectors or designees to conduct sweeps in Central Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Detroit, Colorado/Wyoming, Atlanta, Houston, Alabama, Northern New England, Greater South Carolina, South Florida, Lakeland, and Arizona.”

CNN live: Trump visits RNC office in VA. What a freakshow.

I am impressed with that Jen O'Malley. I wonder where she will land after this.

Trump speaking ... LOSER

He sounds defeated ... like he's coming down from an Adderall binge

He looks like he hasn't slept in days ... LOL

OMG that fucking office is scary - everyone's a scary robot.

He sounds ill

Look at the young fascists. Wow.

So many white people.

Nazi Barbie and Jared are there.

They know he's toast.

They look nervous.

They're all going to burn.

I think you're right, R98. Where's the bluster. He knows.

He's slurring

He knows the gig is up

He's also non-sensical ... well, more so than usual

Ventilators!

R99 R100

Kudos to the ponytailed Black SS agent managing to maintain her composure during Orange It's spiel comparing himself to Lincoln.

CNN live: Trump visits RNC office in VA. What a freakshow.

He looks HUGE!

[quote]Re [R58], if all those occur, I'll probably have my first spontaneous orgasm!

Pics please.

Ed Rendel on MSNBC saying that western rural Trump day of ground game not happening. This has also been mentioned by a couple of other analysts. Philadelphia and suburbs strong. He feels Biden wins PA by 5 points.

Joshua whatever his name is on NBC Live and Trymaine Lee in Durham, NC keep mentioning the fucking "sexting scandal". Fucking STFU, dickheads.

The local news stations in DC have been running a clip of Cheatolini calling into Faux News where he says, in a very defeated voice, that “it’s been a good run.” He then quickly shifts to making it sound like he’s talking about the last few days, but he probably knows that the end is near.

R109 specifically about Pennsylvania, BTW.

I'll start watching at 7 pm this evening.

I am truly grateful that I have no idea what "sexting scandal" is roiling Durham, NC.

Based on his little speech just now, I think he knows it's over. He'll leave office defeated. No way he's staying and "barricading himself in the White House" like some of you Marys!!!!! seem to think.

I think, deep down, he's relieved. He loved rallies and photo ops. He hated being President.

FYI:

R114 because even he knows he sucks at it

[quote] He hated being President.

No more so than we hated his being President.

[quote] I can tell by the tone of Trump’s voice that he knows he has lost. Vote Biden. @realDonaldTrump

Even though R118's post et al say it's clear he knows he's lost, everyone please vote regardless.

Ahem, R58 & R60

DITCH MITCH!

[quote]Trump visits RNC office in VA. What a freakshow.

I heard that--very strong in Texas; powerful in Arizona; huge in Florida. Almost all his available adjectives.

I didn't hear a word about Pennsylvania-which is the one state he has to win.

Watching from Scotland, I really hope I wake up tomorrow to a Biden victory.

Hell yeah!

I think Trump will spend some time in Serbia. It's not Russia, but it's aligned with Russia. It's near Slovenia. It's not in the EU; they'll protect him. There are lots of real estate deals in the capital Belgrade, because lots of money-laundering funds are being pumped into the real estate scene.

Almost over folks.

[quote] AZ and MI

I spoke with a acquaintance from Arizona who says he believes it will go for Biden, mainly because AZ has been "violet", rather than "red" for 15 years thanks to the young families moving there.

As for the older Arizonans, he says they're very pissed off at the McCain disrespect by Dump and the GOP.

Ps --- my acquaintance is one of the "older Arizonans".

I’m delaying turning on the tv news as I imagine they’ll be apoplectic nonstop today.

r125 is worth watching, thanks r123 and r125

In my part of Arizona I am not so sure. There are a ton of trump signs but I am hoping other parts of the state are more liberal.

Detroit turnout: city clerk projects 50% turnout, rather low. Dems are quietly confident, but still shellshocked by last election. MSNBC about 10 minutes ago (Katie Tur hosting).

Robocalls to depress turnout in MI, says state AG.

Ok so he sounds defeated but he didn't expect to win last time either.

I'm no fan of Trump but so many of you folks are way too overconfident and it shows. If Trump actually wins for some reason (through electoral or court or whatever), what are you going to do?

I also see the overconfidence, which was complacency during the campaign.

We're going to fall apart, r134!! None of us will ne able to function for the next four years! We will quit out jobs and spend all our time typing fat on DL! It will be 1459 days of MARY!!!!!!!!!

I mean after 2016 can anyone really blame anyone else for being overly cautious or skeptical of the results?

NBC's Peter Alexander:

Early concern inside Trumpworld about Election Day turnout activities in PA: A person with direct knowledge of the campaign's operations tells me, “The team in Pennsylvania was not as prepared as it should be in a state that could decide the presidency.”

A second person with direct knowledge of the Trump campaign operations says, what’s happening today in Pennsylvania is “not ideal.”

I thnk people will go on as before. I've noticed people I know all say terrible things about Trump but they seemed to be ok with it these last 4 years. They just turn away and don't want to talk about it.

R138 I never believe shit that comes out of that shit pile.

The Trump library parody site! It's really well done.

Many reports now that so far the required level of GOP turnout isn't as strong as they hoped for. Still many hours to go, this could change.

r19, what about the staff, secret service. I get that Trump and his ilk don't care if they have a super spreader event but I would hate to have to work it.

Detail about the Detroit issue.

A few months ago, a journalist wrote an article about how lacking Trump's ground game was in PA. She went to advertised events for campaign volunteers, and there was basically no event - one of the places didn't even know it was supposed to be holding an event. The ground game was just smoke and mirrors.

I'm worried about Detroit...

[quote] Every single lawsuit Republicans have filed has been about making it harder for people to vote, or throwing out votes. Every single one. And, they've lost them all.

R146, its a worry but with the early voting numbers I wouldn't panic.

r113, the Democratic Senator candidate Cunningham who is trying to take out the incumbent Tillis, had another woman. He is still leading polls.

I think people in Detroit are very much feeling compelled to vote because of what happened in 2016.

In St Louis, Missouri, poll workers in hazmat suits, goggles and respirators are collecting ballots from voters infected with Covid-19.

Is Cunningham a big dick daddy?

In Philadelphia, officials have set up a livestream of the Philly convention center where workers have started processing mail-in ballots.

I'm not confident. I'm completely anxious. I will not be going to sleep. I need Biden to be ahead before all the absentee votes come in. I'm stressed.

There were no lines here in LA County. I voted days ago and no on line. If this is the Trumpsters voting day of, not looking good for him, not that he had much expectation here.

I know people in NY that say lines have been so long out there.

Gonna be a looooooooong night. I'm just tuning into this thread. Watching CNN - 3 hours before first polls close.

Latino voters turn out in record numbers A record number of Latino voters have cast their ballots this election, with early numbers indicating that 8.6m Latinos have already voted.

Democrats and progressives across the US – and especially in swing states – have been working to galvanize young Latinos. In Arizona, activists who have been engaged in a decade-long project to register and turn out Latino voters to deliver the longtime conservative bastion for Democrats up and down the ballot.

In Arizona and other battleground states of Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Nevada and North Carolina, 33% of Latinx early votes came from people who did not cast a ballot in 2016, according to Voto Latino.

The group had registered more than 601,330 voters for this election cycle, about three-fourths of whom are between the ages of 18 and 39.

[quote] Biden in Philadelphia: "We have an enormous opportunity as a country. I don't mean just my being elected ... if you elect me, I'm gonna be an American president. There's gonna be no red states or blue states. Just the United States."

Is Poll Troll here? Can he be summoned?

Lots of ballot-counting feeds from around the country, if you want to watch.

r152, Cal Cunningham

Is anyone else like, super-emotional today? I'm not just talking about fear. I mean, this is from a goddamn PR Twitter account for a cat on Star Trek: Discovery, and it just got me.

[quote]#SpaceCatte

Trymaine Lee on MSNBC now. Talking from NC. Again with the sexting. STFU.

538 live coverage. It's excellent.

I'm watching MSBC live and hearing nothing about sexting.

R164, didn't he mentioned sexting right at the end? Let me check again.

What time is everyone going to start drinking? I’m trying to wait until 6 since I think it’s going to be a long night but my nerves are going NUTS!

Prediction: Biden takes TX & AZ in surprise landslides.

R164, you're right. I apologize: I was watching NBC News Live from the previous hour.

r166, I don't drink but I might. I have some wine I used for cooking still in the fridge. But I may go out and get more. Have a drink to celebrate a Biden win or get stone cold drunk if Trump loses and stay in bed for the next two weeks.

MSNBC now, John Meacham says this election is as important at 1932 (Depression, FDR) and 1864 (Civil War, Lincoln reelection).

I'm on a health kick - no booze is first item - so just pot for me. And a Melatonin pill before bed. I'm not even in the U.S. lol - Canada. Bet a few Canadians are also pretty nervous watching the news coverage and praying for the right outcome.

If he loses to Trump

Love John Meacham. And Doris Kearns Goodwin. Wonder where Doris is hiding out these days....?

R43, Not even with my mask on! 😷😄

Hey! Greetings from Spain, my boyfriend and me are keeping an eye on your results guys. Wish you the best! Biden 2020!

I voted! Straight Dem, baby! Of course I am in NY State but still...every vote counts, so if you haven't GO VOTE!

State Poll Opening/Closing Times...

Presidential to Watch:

AZ 9pm EST // FL 7pm EST // OH 7:30pm EST // PA 8pm EST // TX 8pm EST

Senate to Watch:

KY 6pm EST // MA 8pm EST // SC 7pm EST

R166 drink every time Wolf says “breaking news!”

Well it’s been a long-ass four years but the end is near. I have a feeling that it will be clear tonight that Trump is out.

Hi Spain! Canada here. Welcome!

I’m nervous like everyone else but let’s admit we are in a MUCH better position than the Trumpkins.

In order to win, Trump must carry all of these states, [bold]all[/bold] polling slightly to substantially in favor of Biden:

Georgia

North Carolina

Florida

Arizona

Pennsylvania

They’re listed above in order of chance he’ll win. ALL less than 50% by the way. So even if there’s an upset in PA, if Trump loses even just AZ (a fair likelihood) he loses the election.

(So the states above are the ones to watch tonight.)

If the situation were reversed, how would you feel today?

I’m not saying we’ve won. I’m saying we have the wind at our backs and that is a good position to be in.

Reading the tea leaves...

Trump went on Fox and criticized Fox. Murdoch's son said he welcomes a challenge from the future Trump News.

Trump sounds like a loser: "I had a good life before this." "Don't make me cry."

Rupert Murdoch is predicting a Biden landslide victory.

I still hope Murdoch is raped by the flaming moose cocks of demons, but I agree with him.

[quote] Trump sounds like a loser: "I had a good life before this." "Don't make me cry."

This man cries ? Well I guess it's possible as long as it's about himself.

The stock market is up.

I think Trump's strategy totally misfired. Republican election day turnout is not really there so far.

R187, that’s a huge insult to Trump, but he won’t realize it until it’s over.

Just wait until tomorrow or the next day, when the votes are counted.

Alicia Menendez on Nicolle is saying voting is very light in Miami-Dade.

First Exit Polls in 45min!!!!

R180, am I in the wrong thread? Is the the Eurovision Song Contest one? Good evening Canada, this is England reporting and the votes are as follows.... Just to add your post made me smile. It was very Canadian.

I'm confused if low turnout on E day is good or bad.

Rs are more likely to vote in-person. But the low turnouts being shown so far are from big cities.

Any analysis?

Fox News and FL Governor are predicting that FL will go to Trump.

R188 if the rest of his followers are anything like my local area they can't vote as they are felons.

Democratic voting may pick up after 5:00 when people get off work.

R193, most Dem voters have already voted.

[quote]Fox News and FL Governor are predicting that FL will go to Trump.

Shocking!

Light turnout on election day is not good for the encumbent. This is an axiom.

I remember that polls have shown Democrats were about 60 per cent early voters (mail in and in person) and about 30% on election day itself.

Most big cities had a lot of early voting and mail in votes. Who would wait till Tuesday when you could have voted in the weekend?

R193 Republicans but also I think blacks, so I think it’s a mixed bag.

And let me put on my big surprise hat r194.

[quote] Fox News and FL Governor are predicting that FL will go to Trump.

Off course, they've already paid for it.

It was easy for me to vote today. but I talked with someone who said they waited in line for 3 hours to early vote last week. Yes, I am in an urban area...but it was also an off-hour and the polls are open until 9pm.

Biden is going on about corn pop again. Get off camera joe.

CNN is saying that Trump's planned election night shindig attendance has now been reduced from 400 guests to 250. Guess people suddenly had better things to do.

Also watching Biden out with the people today it makes me sad that he wasn’t able to do this all the campaign (although why couldn’t he with a mask)?

No one connects better with “the people” than him. Hope to God it doesn’t matter at the end (and by the end I mean tonight),

Trump sounded like he knew he was losing. Biden thinks he’s winning.

Or maybe those fuckers all tested poz for Covid

R206 I hope people won’t forget his supporters when he is out. Those people are lowest of lows.

Someone get Biden a new, black mask. He looks like his face is buried in a diaper, he’s got a medical mask over an N95.

Ha ha ..... CNN reporting Trump his WH guests now down to 250 people from previous Big Announcement of 400. ha ha ha

Welcome England, r192! It'll be a real contest to see which one of you - Spain or U.K. - hangs in to the bitter end tonight! As others have said....take drink whenever Wolf Blitzer says "Breaking News!".....

R208, Biden was careful not to say that. Says he doesn’t like to jinx things and is superstitious. Said turnout is high and that bodes well.

Whatever happened to the “Trump army” that was going to watching the polls all across the country? Oh right. Deplorables are PUSSIES!

Over on Twitter, Dave Wasserman says he has "late breaking development" we all will want to hear...

Trump supports all have Covid and can’t get to polls

He was trolling, R215.

Armed man with a Trump hat arrested outside NC polling place...

CNN just reported that Philly suburbs are very busy.

Yea I saw that too on NY Times. Heavy voter turn out but orderly...

[quote]the flaming moose cocks of demons

Pics please.

Here is a pic of the MAGA arrested in NC:

R219, Is that good or bad?

R223, very good, soccer moms are voting and they are mostly in for Biden this time.

How many Washington DC DLers are willing to take up guests if the situation arises that we need to protest Trump refusing to leave office?

Pic @ r222 is so hot!

One more time for shits 'n giggles.

Come on, America! You deserve so much better than Trump! Vote him out!

In November 2019, the Philly suburbs wildly swung blue. And that was pre-COVID/impeachment...

The GOP only needs 17 seats to regain control of the House? Jesus.

r225 Politico reported today that top Repuglicans are "disgusted" by Trump's threats not to leave, they're not going to be a part of that.

They asked Dotard if he had written a concession and acceptance speech.

He replied: "No, I'm not thinking about that. Hopefully we will only be giving one of those tonight."

uh..

R231, Ill believe that when I see it.

They've exhibited a ton of disgust for him and yet have backed him full force for 4 years.

Checking from France, bonjour ! I'm going to try to stay awake to watch what I hope will be President Biden's victory !

R232, I guess what he meant to say is that he hopes that he gives a speech tonight not at some point later.

[quote]Armed man with a Trump hat arrested outside NC polling place...

All the best people are Trump supporters.

Vermont's Republican governor just voted for Biden

Bonjour France! Welcome to you too.

How are the trans candidates doing?

Let's keep this focused on the important things!

Scotland here. Don't let us down: crush the Orange Bawbag!

[quote] Pennsylvania Lt. Gov John Fetterman on Trump's warnings of violence: “The president is just one more random troll saying crazy stuff on the internet that has no basis in reality." @MSNBC

A friendly welcome to Scotland! :)

The hosts and guests are getting pretty giddy already on MSNBC. God, I hope that Lady G loses as well. It would be poetic justice for him to get dragged down with the SS Trump. If he had just stood up for himself, he almost certainly would have been far ahead now.

Just got back from voting, it took me eight minutes. The poll worker said there had been 106 people come in to vote. Which is an ALL TIME record for my little county!

Now to post a selfie with my I Voted sticker on social media to make it official. Exciting stuff!

YES, QUEEN!!!!! SHOW'M!

For the past four years, I have been saying to myself with spontaneity and amazement every now and then:

"Donald Trump is President of the United States."

and then I LMFAO each and every time! 😂

CNN EXIT POLL: 48% of voters think that Pandemic is handled well!!!!

Here's an MSNBC Link for those interested.

CNN reports that Biden camp thinks they are not getting FL.

Aw Steve Kornacki... I miss seeing you in the steam at the gym.

I feel so anxious and edgy today. This election feels like it has been going on for ten years

This year will see the highest turnout in last 100+years or maybe be even EVER.

[quote] The hosts and guests are getting pretty giddy already on MSNBC.

They were giddy this time four years ago too, as I recall.

R249 ugh I know. And with the senior break he really should be taking it.

R247 how fucking retarded are people? That’s rhetorical.

Does Steve wear those brown pants in the steamroom?

I live in Florida, and not only is it corrupt as fuck, but there are a lot of deplorables here. Between the two, it never swings Democratic, even though plenty of Dems (including me) live here.

R255, no definitely not.

Glasses yes... at least for the first 10 minutes.

MSNBC Live only works if you have cable or satellite tv in the USA. Its worthless.

R230 That's assuming the Dems don't pick up any more seats. I've seen predictions that they'll gain at least 10.

There were no bands of MAGAt tRumptards terrorizing voters or acting as unofficial poll watchers. There will not be several weeks of legal wrangling.

The Dotard is as stupid as he appears. He and Rudy tried to recreate the Hillary email scandal with Hunter Biden, and he wound up getting himself impeached. A year in advance he blared what his tactic was going to be. It never caught on and in fact failed spectacularly.

He installed DeJoy at the US Postal Service to slow down mail-in ballots. The scheme got called out immediately. And it was so far in advance of the election that everyone from elections officials to voters scrambled to make plans to insure they got to vote and their votes were counted.

So many people were concerned that 100,000,000 people voted early. This not only “banked” all these millions of votes, it reduced significantly the chance that people would be disenfranchised at the last minute at voting locations.

So, while people have been motivated on their own for four years to get rid of the Orange Traitor, he has indirectly aided, because of his own incompetence and ineptitude, in the rush to vote him out over the last several weeks. He believes himself to be some political and strategic genius because of a bizarre happenstance four years ago that accidentally put him in the White House. In fact, he is an incompetent boob, and that fact will become ever clearer as the weeks, months, and years pass.

MSNBC also doesn't have an app on Roku, which is lame considering even local stations have their onw apps.

Very good assessment r260

CNN Exit Poll: only 4% made their choice in the last week (over 12% in 2016) . 93% made decision before.

Using streaming services. I would post a link but its does not allow me here.

Do name it, Mary.

That is just bananas R247. Wonder how the question about the pandemic was posed.

Can't imagine why either of these geriatrics would subject themselves of such hard slog.

[quote]What time is everyone going to start drinking?

I just voted, and fallowed that up with a Bloody Mary in the lobby of the hotel with voting stations. Blue skies walking home. I have a good feeling the nightmare is almost over.

Is it a national exit poll R263? Where were they polling people? Those people may have a good state response, like NY.

CNN National poll.

Just remember exit polls can be misleading, Trump told his supporters to wait until Election Day.

I voted straight Dem in Harris County, TX.

Pay no attention to exit polls

How can exit polls mean anything if so many voted early or by mail? Unless it’s a poll of all people who already voted.

I see numbers on CNN re Iowa but I don’t know who’s being polled. Results indicate a Trump win but not by a lot.

[quote] CNN reports that Biden camp thinks they are not getting FL.

Managing expectations, setting up a Psych! Or both.

Or trying to get trump voters to relax and slack off at the last minute.

Fucking Florida.

[quote] Hearing from a poll watcher that Ward 2 in Philadelphia is closing early because there are no more registered voters that haven’t voted

20mins till the first results, gurls!!!!

Tuiou

Hear, hear R260

Will we do a drinking game?

Musical Interlude brought to you by DJT

Florida going for Trump will make this a long night unless Texas or Georgia go blue.

Florida is irredeemable. If the Democrats ever regain power, they should just figure out a way to nuke it away from the continent and set it adrift.

[quote]CNN reports that Biden camp thinks they are not getting FL.

Florida *usually* votes with the winner of the Presidency, but we could see an election like 1992 where Bill Clinton lost Florida but won the Presidency. (Clinton went on to win Florida in 1996).

America’s wang strikes again

Or North Carolina r283.

If Biden wins NC or Georgia or Florida (or Texas which goes without saying) he is going to win.

Trump has to win all of them to stay alive.

I think Trump takes AZ, FL, and TX(though it'll be surprisingly tight). Biden wins PA, MI, WI, and in an upset, maybe GA or NC.

R283, the early signs are that GA might do it this year with TX as a spoiler. Very heavy turnout in Houston area on election day too.

If Trump wins both PA and FL, then the national nightmare continues. I have little faith red states will break and make up for losing those two states. Let's just hope there are enough pissed off McCain supporters in AZ to turn it blue.

Hearing from a poll watcher that Ward 2 in Philadelphia is closing early because there are no more registered voters that haven’t voted

R290, not so fast, apparently rural PA is not showing up for Trump today.

[quote] Will we do a drinking game?

I’m up for that!

This was posted on another blog. I think it shows the number of ballots counted by party affiliation not who they voted for. The D-R gap is the number of democrat votes vs. republican.

I love you, Poll Troll. 🥖🍑

R290, from your lips to some deity's ears...

(292) where are you getting that info from?

Canadian pundits just saying "Biden Will Win" and second pundit saying "It's Biden to Lose."

CNN reports from MI that the earlier worries that it will take long to count all the votes has been greatly exaggerated. They think we will know the winner in MI tonight.

Talk to me like a child what am I looking at at R294 's post?

R284 thank you for the lol

Little early, but here’s Part 2 ready to go.

CNN Exit Poll: 13% voted for the first time this year.

R299, fuck, does that mean turnout was lower than expected?

Holy shit ... I'm getting nervous

Ten minutes to go until the first polls close.

Thanks, R295. : )

R304 lots of early voters

The reports about not knowing who'll win, the rioting in the streets, another civil war are made up by the media. They know they will lose their viewership and pseudo celebrity status once Biden wins, and nobody cares about politics and news 24/7.

R304, they are much better prepared and vote counting is very efficient and fast.

I'll say Biden- 280 Trump-259

How's Kanye doing?

R312 hopefully OD’d

Does Poll Troll's Florida map indicate that as of now, there is a slight Dem lead or what?

Nate Silver:

One thing that does seem clear in the Election Day numbers is that the GOP vote came out early but the vote is becoming less Republican (and more indie) over the course of the day.

5mins!!!!!

Win or lose, I truly don't think anyone could have run a better campaign under these conditions than Joe Biden did.

I was a Warren guy in the primary. I'm glad this is how it worked out.

If trump loses can CNN finally fling Rick Santorum into a black hole?

Wow....

James Carville just hammered you "bed wetting" Democrats. He is CERTAIN that Biden will win and that it is going to be a GOOD night for Democrats.

VOTN when does your night shift start R317

It's the count of ballots by party, R300.

For example Democrats returned 3,918,546 and Republicans returned 4,099,782 ballots. The D-R gap is the difference. It refreshes every 20 minutes.

One filled with santorum, r318.

I agree with R318.

Of all the Republican commentators that CNN could have hired, why did they hire one who is famous for being a notorious homophobe? How do Don Lemon & Anderson Cooper feel?

Exactly. I realize they have to have at least one Republican on the panel, but why that homophobic dipshit? No one else is available?

[quote]VOTN when does your night shift start [R317]

Eight, but I'm going to be headed that way very shortly.

Just woke up. Morning American friends. No definitive news as yet.

What's happened to everybody? I thought we would be on our 4th or 5th "Official DL thread" by now?

Have people gone to ground and are too exhausted and drained to join us?

Today is the one day I regret having cable cut off at the beginning of 2019. Which channel is the best to watch? I'm going to try to find one which streams free. Lord I hope it's not Fox.

R325 good luck, I miss your posts x

R314, as Dave Wasserman says, watch Sumter County in Florida. Trump probably needs at least 67% (and likely 68%-70%) in Sumter to win Florida:

Is that a huge margin to attain in that county?

[quote][R325] good luck, I miss your posts x

Depending on how busy my night is...

I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Does MSNBC really need to have Kornacki on every 15 minutes just to tell us Dump needs to win Wisconsin and Michigan?

CNN EXIT POLL: 65% are white voters (72% in 2016). 38% DEMOCRATS 35% REPUBLICANS

Significantly less white voters this year!!!!

Gross, the Poll Troll and Voice of The Night. Both Kamala haters. The Poll Trolls racial slurs go further than that. They're huge ass idiots. Fuck Datalounge. This is an historic night. Twitter is the place to be.

Vice President Biden starts the day by going to church. The Orange Turd hasn't been near a church in months. The religious right say nothing.

We were told not to put much stock in exit polls. But were we expecting to see a higher percentage of Rs over Ds in in-person voting?

?

This is a really good poll thing which a Canadian posted earlier.

R326 Still very early; first polls just closing.

You can get a couple more hours sleep if you like.

Pigeon-headed whore predicts Cheeto landslide

How reliable is a Canadian prediction on an American election? Or rather, is this a reliable Canadian pollster in general?

R334 enjoy twitter then!

[quote]Gross, the Poll Troll and Voice of The Night. Both Kamala haters.

Bitch, if she hadn't dropped out (and NY's primary been even more pointless than usual) I would have voted for her. Warren was my backup.

We've started a thread over here on-time instead of trying to trap people into a thread a day early like the maniac OP. Don't reward the OP's behavior.

This thread is for Democrats who don't want to take any shit from MAGAT trolls.

CNN exit polls nationally seem like a waste. Although where’s the blue wave if more Dems are showing.

R334, I like Kamala Harris and have never posted anything negative about her.

I mean where’s the red wave!

Joy Reid is maintaining her new curly wig nicely. PROOF, that there is a God!

First bourbon of the night poured! Full prepared to finish off this bottle tonight

If the day ends with +2R registration in the Florida vote as it looks like, that is consistent with a Biden win by about 2 points IF independents in the state vote as polled.

Didn't think so PollTroll. It seemed like a bizarre post about you.

The crazy is beginning already? Hold it together for a couple of hours, bitches.

[quote]Detroit turnout: city clerk projects 50% turnout, rather low.

Concerned?

I am not.

All reports are that absentee voting and the new Monday voting--added to Tuesday voting--are going to break records. You should kind of expect Election Day-voting to be a lower % during a pandemic when people had other other opportunities to vote.

[quote] Pigeon-headed whore predicts Cheeto landslide.

She has to; it's part of her job description.

I’m just about jumping out of my skin. I cannot even imagine what the next 5 hours are going to be like

Thanks R338. It's 10.14 am here in Melbourne so I better stay up.

OK I found a live stream of NBC News which looks good! Woo hoo! Now let's see if I can find a Fox News stream so I can see what those Murdoch morons are saying. I will hate watch in small doses for as long as I can stomach it.

We also have Australia's main ABC HD channel and ABC News channel devoted to the election until midnight tonight. It's all happening! I'm gonna need more screens.

Jeebus we need some good news today. Our news is saying that it will be days or perhaps weeks before a emphatic result will be known.

Trump leading Indiana and Kentucky so far.

NBC live stream if anyone needs the link:

Vermont @GovPhilScott tells reporters he voted for @JoeBiden just now, making him the first incumbent Republican gov to publicly support the Democratic nominee.

So CNN dissecting some very early returns in Indiana (deep red and will go to Trump ) but so far Trump is running behind his 2016 numbers by about 6-8% points.

If Trump lost Indiana or Kentucky, the election is over. It’s more how much he wins by.

Polls soon closing for first 6 states of the evening!

Yup, just saw that, R358.

John King showed an Indiana county where Trump is running about 7 points lower against Biden than he did against Hillary. The county isn't finished yet, but it's something to keep an eye on.

MMPH....

Why the hell does New Hampshite love Trump? Is it because they're rural?

[quote] MMPH....

GET. FUCKED.

if Trump loses, he's going to be a fucking nightmare to deal with. if Trump wins, he's going to be a fucking nightmare to deal with. lucky us

I want John King inside me quite deeply

Yeah Biden is trying to flip a number of Trump counties in Indiana.!!! You go!

Very high turn out in Philadelphia towards the end of the day.

Well he’s not gonna flip much of anything in Indiana. But look at the margins. He’s running well ahead of Clinton.

CNN: North Carolina will be reporting 45 minutes later than expected. 8:15 pm instead of 7:30 pm.

Biden leading in Kentucky.

[quote]CNN EXIT POLL: 48% of voters think that Pandemic is handled well!!!!

Of course -- they didn't poll the dead people.

And we begin

Jessamine County Kentucky from Trump +40 to Trump + 21 with 62% in.

[quote]I want John King inside me quite deeply

I doubt that is physically possible.

Biden is leading in Kentucky? R371? That can’t be real

What does that even mean R373 ?

A John King/James Tapper threesome is my dream with Chris Hayes sitting in a chair jacking off watching

Anyone else finding this surreal? It just doesn't feel like it really is election night.

R375 yeah, no way on that.

R375, IGNORE TROLLS. R376, he meant to compare to 2016.

NBC Live is horse shit. It will repeat over and over. Don't bother.

Am I to understand that if there is a drop of 6-8% of Republican turnout that it could be a very rough night for Trump?

Kentucky reports early and mail in voting first. Don’t get too excited yet

Bill Clinton won Kentucky twice in 1992 & 1996, but it's been ruby red in the 2 decades since.

Still, there are signs that Biden could narrow the size of Trump's lead in KY.

KY tightened because Lexington (Dem stronghold) did a big vote dump. But it looks not bad for Biden.

Covington may turn blue LOLOLOL

Fuck the Covington teens!

Biden isn’t winning Kentucky. But if he can run up dem margins that spells doom for trump in the rest of the country

Is Comey still feeling slightly nauseous?

I'm concerned...

I just took a couple of hits from my one-hitter ... first time in six months!!

It's gonna be a long night

gurl im sitting here sipping tea and eating quiche to calm my nerves

R377 I like the way you think.

I haven't had a cigarette since Dec 31st, 2014.

Tonight I'm having a strong craving.

I'm hungry and trying to eat but my stomach is doing flip flops.

I have diarrhea

Bunch of queens

Biden is doing well in Covington, KY which means that he is most likely is going to do well in the neighbouring Ohio.!!!!!

R395 Thank you for joining us, Mr President

Listening to The Beekeeper by Tori Amos in an attempt to keep calm

Couldn’t they bring back Chris Matthews for just one night? God I miss Chris. His absence is a travesty.

Also, even briefly, but McGrath is right now leading McConnell too.

So apparently despite the Judge stating that the USPS needed to sweep facilities for ballots... Postal Workers are refusing to do so.

I like blue.

5mins we hear Georgia results!!!!

Will be interesting to see how fast Virginia gets called. That was the first sign of trouble for Hillary. It took way too long to call for her.

Fox News viewer polls backfire

Stacey abrams just said don’t expect to see much from Georgia until around 8pm

Guam is called for Biden!!!!

[quote]Sergio Garcia’s parole officer called on election day with the news: He’d be off parole by the end of the week — but not soon enough to cast his vote for Donald Trump. The 30-year-old Hollywood resident was crushed. He has long supported the president for his economic and immigration policies, attending weekly Beverly Hills Trump rallies draped in Mardi Gras beads and a rainbow flag. “Im LGBTQ, I’m Latino — and Donald Trump has never done a single thing to remove my rights,” Garcia said. Teary-eyed, Garcia recorded a video on his iPhone from outside the Los Angeles polling place where his partner and a friend were casting their ballots. “I really wish I could vote right now,” he said into the camera, his hair styled back and a tattoo dedicated to his mother spread across his chest. He sighed deeply. “Next election, huh?”

Well, at least Trump knows he can count on the gay criminal Latino vote. Just not this year.

Precincts that closed in Indiana and Kentucky are a minority - current results mean nothing.

DON'T FUCK UP by spreading bullshit. Trump/GOP will be doing enough of that. We're only a couple minutes from major states closing.

LOL at R406's link!

There are good maps on websites showing exactly which counties the votes are coming from within the states that have closed.

Ah, why not share the link?

Our news is saying NC is the one to watch early. If it goes to Biden - it’s all over for Dump. Approximately 273 electoral college votes for Biden if he wins NC.

They just did a 5 minute summary of how the electoral college system works too. Boy it seems totally unfair and very unbalanced when the ratio of various states is so wildly different.

First 4 states have just closed! Total of 64 EC votes!

Turned down my volume for Wolfe Blitzer's SCREAMING PROJECTIONS 🙄

CNN calls INDIANA for TRUMP.

r413 Here, but it could be paywalled. (LA Times.) Shows Trump leading in IN, NH, and KY. There's a link to show the county-level votes.

[quote] Sources from the Biden campaign have told @CBSNews that Democrats are over-performing in WI, NC and GA. They also have strong poll numbers in WI, MI, NC, GA, PA, AZ & NE-2. FL is a tossup.

Not looking good in Florida

Trump slightly under performing in 2 red counties in Florida.

[quote]Not looking good in Florida

Does it ever?

It’s all early vote tho right? No same day included.

Genuine question - is CNN super reliable about calling Indiana so early polltroll/R416?

LA Times has KY for Trump (no surprise.)

So GA will go blue!! Biden is leading by 3-4%

R406 Thanks for that -- made my night

R423, CNN is usually more cautious in making calls than other networks, so I would say yes CNN is reliable based on their history.

AP reporting Mark Warner wins VA Senate

Florida is a fucking shithole.

Oh dear

Indiana and Kentucky are hardly a surprise. No one expected them to go blue.

r427 Interesting that LA Times called KY but not IN then. (Not sure if they're using AP or some other source.)

AP calls Vermont for Biden

Indiana and KY called for Trump but his margins are much smaller this year. Vermont is called for Biden.

I just spoke with 28yr-old Miamian Alex Garcia. He said he woke up today thinking he was going to vote for Trump BUT he changed his mind at the voting booth. He ended up picking Biden to “go back to normal.”

“I just want my Instagram to be about me again, and how good I look”

R428, yup, a much more comfortable win for Warner in VA compared to his close call in 2014.

Warner must be running ahead of Biden, because VA is showing as leaning red right now.

[quote]Florida is a fucking shithole.

A shithole that needs to be won if you want to be President!

Damn, r435, I like the result, but jesus god everything about the past four years makes me seriously question democracy.

Sow hat are we looking at here. What does Biden need to take for it to be all over for Orange?

Biden is leading in Pinellas County in FL which is an indicator for the otucome. Clinton lost that county.

OK thanks for that answer R427. I didn’t know they were more cautious. Good to know.

Virginia is leaning Trump????

In the states that have been called for Trump -- is his margin larger or smaller than it was in 2016?

Lying cunt!

r443 Only with VERY early returns. I only mentioned that because they called it for Warner based on those same early returns.

Smaller, I think.

R444, smaller.

So far, AP has only called KY.

Biden takes the lead in Florida.

[QUOTE] Virginia is leaning Trump????

😂 Trump is not winning Virginia.

[quote]So far, AP has only called KY.

And now VT.

The counties being called for FL also show a smaller margin of votes for Orange.

What are you all watching Networks? Threads?

R449 And Vermont

This thread is going to give me a heart attack tonight. It’s been real nice knowing you all.

R451, good to hear!

If Joe Biden wins Florida, this race is over.

Yes, Biden doing MUCH better than Clinton and Trump doing worse than 2016 in Florida.

This is nerve wracking, more so than 2016

[quote]Virginia is leaning Trump????

The rural red counties in VA usually report first. Northern VA where the Washington suburbs are & the Democratic strongholds are, come in later.

So expect Biden to take the lead in VA once Northern VA reports.

The turd is tweeting ...we're doing very well everywhere.

I know it's early, but this map showing nearly all red/pink is scary.

I checked out the FiveThirtyEight live blog. What a fucking waste of time.

R460 because in 2016 we didn't have any idea of how bad it could get.

Now we know.

A million votes in from Miami / Dade FL keeping Biden 9 points ahead of Orange there for now.

Miami Dade is terrible.

R464 It's awful isn't it? They're literally talking to themselves on there.

PollTroll, you keep me sane!!

Although Clinton was up higher in Miami-Dade County than Biden is now and Orange has improved with Cuban voters there.

Remember, Biden does NOT need to win FL. The only benefit of his winning it early tonight is to calm our nerves.

Well, now the map at least has some "lean blue" in FL and GA. Not sure why they haven't made VT solid blue yet since they called it for Biden.

Remember though: FL reporting early voters first. ie: Biden votes. Will be weighted towards Biden for a little while.

[quote]If Joe Biden wins Florida, this race is over.

Gurl Im going to bed once Florida is called

Well, all early signs at this time point for Biden taking GA and possibly FL.

So why do Cuban voters love Trump so much this time?

Wow. The Miami numbers are awful doe Biden. Down 10 from Hillary. Latinos swung hard to trump

Vermont called for Biden.

If Biden doesn't get FL, what does Biden need to do to win?

Help calm my nerves.

VT being called for Biden on MSNBC.

Vermont goes to Joe - woohoo!

Oh fuck you Miami

[quote]Although Clinton was up higher in Miami-Dade County than Biden is now and Orange has improved with Cuban voters there.

I still can’t believe that Hillary thought she’s win North Carolina safely and could swing South Carolina and sent Lena Dunham to campaign in Charleston.

If Biden wins GA,, FL won't matter.

If Biden wins AZ and NC, FL won't matter.

All assuming PA goes the right way.

R490 is correct. Biden doesn’t need Florida. But tRump can’t really afford to lose NC, GA, or AZ.

Fucking Cubans. They hate black people and they think they’re the only Latino immigrants that matter.

53% counted in Florida. Biden ahead at this point. Too early to call.

Florida has sworn a sacred oath to absolutely suck every four years. Today is no exception.

R503, Biden is underperforming Hilary in the Democratic stronghold of Miami-Dade, but is doing better in Jacksonsville than Hillary, which voted Republican in 2016.

Biden performance WAY under in Miami-Dade but more votes to be counted. Not good when compared to how Hilary did in 2016 in Miami Dade

Nate Cohn & the NYT needle are giving the edge to Trump in Florida right now based on the lower than expected Dem numbers in Miami-Dade.

Thank you. PollTroll.

"I’m frightened. Someone hold me!"

I'm sorry, but here on Datalounge you must specifically ask for DAVID to hold you.

Sumter County, the oldest median age in the country, still voted Orange.

[quote]Florida has sworn a sacred oath to absolutely suck every four years.

Every TWO years.

These FL numbers do not include the panhandle because the polls are still open. I predict that FL will be called for Trump within 90 minutes

That was expected, but what was the margin?

😂 The NYTimes still has that wretched needle? I should break it off and shove it up their ass after 2016.

Arrrrggghhhhh

MSNBC has near tie for FL but the panhandle has yet to give their results which leans Rethug.

Let’s move on from FL. It’s done. Save our anxiety for other parts of the country.

Why the fuck do they do Breaking interruptions when its all too early to call. Fucking reserve that shit for when you have something to return.

Poll Troll, it looks like the vote total in M-D is lower overall. Are ballots ensnared in the slow to non-existent Post Office processing?

Agree 520. FL goes to Trump.

Part 2

83% of the votes are counted in Miami Dade. Low total turnout. Dems did not get them out to vote and the Cuban Community went for Trump

Puerto Ricans around Orlando didn’t show up.

[quote]Poll Troll, it looks like the vote total in M-D is lower overall. Are ballots ensnared in the slow to non-existent Post Office processing?

That's possible. M-D is notorious for problems with counting ballots in an organized fashion.

MSNBC now has Biden back in the lead in FL due to more ballots in Broward Co.

[quote] water pipe burst in a room.

The old "water pipe burst in a room" trick.

Trump won Pinellas ( St Petersburg) but it’s now 53/45 Biden with 76%

Florida - follow the I4 corridor - the swings are Pinellas, Semonile and Volusia

How the fuck has Orange gained ground with Latinos?

R529 how Clinton/Dole of them

R527, my spidey sense tells me DeSantis is behind this what is happening in Miami-Dade, but Broward is over performing, so we will see.

Also there's this fucking bullshit. How does one "turn down" a judicial order?!

Florida 2016 map

You all are better than me. I cannot watch trickling results all night. Maybe peek a couple times, but hours upon hours of play by play too stressful. Hope you guys have a drink in hand or you're high.

[quote] my spidey sense tells me DeSantis is behind this what is happening in Miami-Dade

He probably ate a couple hundred ballots for a snack.

The mail. Ballots are missing.

Hahahaha, well said r537!

Broward seems to be overperforming for Biden.

Consensus on early numbers are that FL goes to Dump.

[quote]How the fuck has Orange gained ground with Latinos?

For the Florida Cubans, anyway, it's the "OMG -- socialism!"

300,000 ballots missing.

Miami is terrible.

R527 But the difference in Broward is insufficient to make up for the underperformance in Miami Dade. In the other counties, Biden is doing better than Hillary by an average margin of 2-3%. But Miami-Dade numbers are so large, I doubt the it will make a difference

Also they are incredibly conservative R542.

We'll see. Nobody's calling Florida early.

I blame Frieda Claxton.

CNN just said that Miami-Dade numbers are mainly in person early voting, not much same day or absentee numbers.

Duval (Jacksonville) appears to flip to blue from red for first time in a recent Presidential election

The panhandle is deeply red.

AP still has only called two states (VT and KY.)

CLARE MALONE

NOV. 3, 7:39 PM

An early narrative I’m seeing is that Biden is weak with Florida Latinos, in Miami-Dade County but maybe also in other parts of the state. This could be because Trump is speaking particularly well to those Florida Latino communities, which tend to be more conservative than Latinos in other parts of the country. Trump has done a lot to talk about the evils of “socialism” and to tie the Democrats to that worldview. Perhaps that’s what we’re seeing here playing out now?

AP called Virginia for Biden

Dump's little Florida Mini-me DeSantis needs to be dragged out and beaten to death.

Ohio too early to call with Biden currently in lead.

Duval Biden up 4 with 90% in

That’s a huge flip from last election

I blame Gloria Estefan.

FL Latinos are mostly Cubans. Most Cubans vote Republican.

It’s the majority of Mexicans, Dominicans and Puerto Rican’s who vote Democrat. But they’re all outnumbered by Cubans in FL

If you are following MSNBC then you'd think Florida was the only state in the nation.

Dems need to do a better job courting and educating these Latino voters in Florida that Republicans dont give a shit about them.

Black Caribbean voters really turned out for Biden/Harris in Broward

[quote]Puerto Rican’s

Oh, dear.

R560 it’s not that they’re the only state, it’s that they’re one of the most important during elections

AP calls VA for Biden

Trump is repeating his % of 2016 votes in the Gulf Coast counties. Dems are not making up in the rest of the state.

The Cubans will never not vote with whoever the majority of white people vote for. They do anything to prove their whiteness

If there is ever a time to put down the "Oh, dear" bullshit, it is now r562.

Florida is a lost cause for Democrats and has been for 20 years now. Democrats need to stop wasting time and money there.

Trump is doing better with same day votes in FL. When the panhandle numbers are brought in, they will call FL for Trump

Nicolle and Joy on MSNBC are oddly silent.

Rachel is constantly turning to Kornacki to talk her down.

2012 Florida numbers are the only ones I could find. Cubans make up 32 percent of eligible Latino voters, Puerto Ricans 28 percent, and Mexicans 9 percent.

[quote]If you are following MSNBC then you'd think Florida was the only state in the nation.

John King just explained why if Biden wins Florida it will be nearly impossible for Trump to win the election. Its all comes down to electoral college math, just like it did in 2016.

Florida is also a melting pot of the country pretty much.

R565, yes, but Biden is overperforming vs Clinton in 2016, so that is something, but at the end of the day, Florida stays Florida.

MSNBC is in Ohio.

Miss Lindsey appears to be doing well, unfortunately.

WV (R) and VA (D) Senate races have been called.

[quote]Fox News viewer polls backfire

That would be funny if it were a poll of Fox viewers, but r406 is a national exit poll.

It's still cool they're allowing their viewers to see what the rest of the country thinks.

[quote] Florida is also a melting pot of the country pretty much.

More like the country's leftover fry grease.

r574 What?

CNN calls VERMONT for BIDEN.

Ohio's looking good early for Biden in early voting.

Part 2

WV called for Trump (AP)

Biden is doing better than Hillary in all FL counties except Miami Dade. I think this is a positive sign.

.....

NYT reporting 95% chance of Trump winning Florida

No one is shocked WV voted Trump lmao. One of the most racist and homophobic places in this Country

R578, see r583

Hillary won M-D County by 30%. Biden is winning by only 9%. That's a blow-out for Trump. In the rest of the state Biden is not winning by a sufficient margin to make up this difference. FL is going to Trump.

Ohio is starting out looking very favorable for Biden. One to watch based on early numbers

who is the fucking troll?

NYT says there's a 95% chance I'll cunt-punt your troll ass.

Can we PLEASE boycott Florida permanently?

More states closing a few minutes.

Trump has filed a lawsuit to stop Clarke County Nevada to count about 75% of their mail in ballots. CROOK

Closing this puppy down, make your way to Part II

Like my friend said, maybe if we stopped going to FL for vacations as much as we did they would change their tune. They do well because we are always there in Orlando, Key West and Miami

KY called for Orange.

Okay, NBC finally calls Kentucky for dickface.

It's disgusting how close this is. And if there hadn't been a pandemic, Trump would've breezed through. I'm really done with this country.

why does that weirdo keep pushing us to a different thread? She's doing it over and over and over - wtf?

Checking in from Arizona on a road trip. Breathe all!!

I can't breath!

BIDEN

R598 Nah, the Biden v Trump numbers before the pandemic were pretty much where they are now. Folks figured Trump out years ago and either loathe or love him.

FEAR NOT DATALOUNGERS, MIGHTY JOE BIDEN WILL BE VICTORIOUS IN THE END.

PENNSYLVANIA, MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, BABY!

It’s Biden time. 😎

Okay... here we go with some more numbers.. lots of them.

Many too early to call. Just give us a total, please.

44 Biden

26 Assclown

Florida is crazy. But consider. Mail ins are not counted until 8:30 and Biden is fighting Trump by less than 1% Trump won FL over Clinton by almost 3%

Bajour everybody...

I’m watching on PBS and there is no drama about Florida.

Doesn't look like "a very rough night for Trump."
