2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[7,052,770]

So, if Biden wins 270-268, will the Nebraska legislature try to take the 5th EV away from him?

[7,052,770]

Is the presidential race over in North Carolina?  I don't see anyone talking about that state.  And what happened to the Senate race?

Still accepting mail-in ballots for a week (?)

Biden did poorly in upstate NY. First to lose Erie county since McGovern.

What is the current thinking on Nevada?  I have always worried about this state but people told me to shut up because it won't be close.  Now I'm worried again.

[Astatine]

Btw, what is actually going on with Alaska?

It’s not close — Ralston’s call was definitely right, although maybe not for the reasons we expected.

I think I saw that Biden improved a bit in Washoe and Trump improved a bit in Clark so it's basically a wash

A lot of the arguments for why we can’t nominate Bernie were proven to be moot tonight, regardless of who wins

Whoever made such comments has no connection to reality.  It's unfortunate that we ended up with this clown Biden, but what can you do.

[Calthrina950]

Biden has got to spend the next 4 years appealing to Hispanics. Like, some of these results are embarrassing, especially against Trump.

I miss Tío Bernie.

In hindsight, Biden's poor performance in the Nevada caucuses should have been a warning sign for Democrats.

It's a primary with a lot of candidates. There's nothing to base it on really. He could have been the most popular candidate while being the first choice of few.

I'd disagree with you there. The primaries did provide indications back in 2016 of how Trump and Clinton would fare. Bernie Sanders did so well against Clinton because of the strong dislike for her among many elements of the Democratic base, and the population as a whole. And Trump rode the momentum of his unorthodox candidacy to the nomination and to the Presidency. And this year, in addition to Biden's weakness in Nevada, we also saw Trump garnering historic turnout in the Republican primaries and walking over his "opposition" (like Bill Weld).

AP has Trump up 58-38 with 23% in.

If it's that close, I fully expect faithless elector shenanigans

Bold claim to make when we have this many outstanding ballots.

[anthonyjg]

Thank god Klobuchar and Buttigieg dropped out for spots in the Biden Administration

[Alben Barkley]

I love watching you twist your own predictions to seem justified in your months of boasting.

I hope the takeaway is that ad hominem-filled rages at anyone who posts a map that doesn't show a Biden landslide, both on the 2020 board and elsewhere, aren't factual and rational responses.

Are you serious? More ad hominem has been directed at me in this thread than I ever directed at anyone else. And I never “raged” at people for not showing a Biden landslide. I challenged certain doomers to explain their very specific, very unlikely predictions by backing it up with evidence and reason. Never got it, just “ad hominem.”

[Illini Moderate]

Ill wholeheartedly listen to the alternative candidate argument once this is called. I really will and I honestly think I'm ready to hear it. But can we finish our results tonight

Yo what just happened with the NC needle? moved from 95% Trump to 84%

Hayes got all his electors.

So why is no one talking about NC then?  It's closer than any of the other states that haven't been called yet.

It and GA changed a while ago.

That's a big ratio. Feeling a bit better about the numbers here.

I’m not sure Eerie is a done deal, but he did do poorly in the NE of the state.

[GALeftist]

I'd just like to say that in both 2016 and 2020 when the DNC had to ratf#ck Bernie out of the nomination it foretold a serious issue in the coming general; WWC in the rust belt in 2016, Hispanics in 2020. The Democrats would do well to pay attention to this in 2024 but I know they won't

[Meclazine for Israel]

WI - Biden on 47.2% (77% counted)
MI - Biden on 45% (61% counted)
PA - Biden on 42% (66% counted)

Biden's numbers have been growing, but he is too far back and not catching fast enough. Even if Pittsburgh's remaining votes were all Democrat, he wont make up the numbers there.

It now comes down to WI, MI and GA. Maybe NC with late ballots heavily in Biden's favour.
