2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

Philadelphia, PA and Atlanta, GA not counting ballots is suspicious.  The former has been counting all day, and the latter has a water main break on election day?  I think they realize they don't have the votes. 

Cool story bro

Don’t see Biden losing this race with AZ called and MI/WI looking good. Or do I miss something?

Trump leads significantly in Pennsylvania and Michigan and with a smaller lead in Wisconsin.

Also Iowa looks confirmed for Trump, as does NC and Iowa.

How do you come to the conclusion that MI and WI look good?

Is it because they haven't counted mail in votes yet?

You do realize that trump was expected to lead PA on election night by as much as 16 while still being expected to lose after all the absentees are counted, right?

What does everyone think of Steve bullock's chances? He seems to be running a good bit ahead of Biden.

Lets say you are correct 100%.

How long are we waiting to get these votes counted?
MI, PA and WI is where it matters.

We will wait as long as it takes for every vote to be counted, that's how long.

Kind of beautiful being able to look at blue Wisconsin and Michigan again. The 2016 map is so ugly.

Wisconsin is by no means definitely blue. A win by only 21,000 with many questions around absentee and mail in votes leaves plenty of room during the recount for this to swing back to Trump.

Given the corruption that has occurred down at the Detroit vote counting centre, this race will be going on for a while to come.

The first thing Biden needs to do as president is impose sanctions on the R*ssia. I don't care for what or why, just impose sanctions.

Sh*t like this (spending so much time and energy on being outraged by Trump's personality and stuff like Russiagate than on putting forward an alternative vision for the country) is one reason for why your party is seeing these disappointing results.

Cool story bro. Reality is a bit different.....

Russia has repeatedly attacked our election infrastructure, and has suffered zero consequences. Last I heard in, in 2016, Russia at least attempted to hack into election sites in almost every state in the country. While that may not matter to republicans (who scream nonstop about made up voter fraud) to democrats it's a direct threat to democracy, and a President Joe Biden has (to my personal delight) promised direct, aggressive and disproportional retaliation cyber attacks as long as Russia continues this behavior. This should make any real, patriotic American THRILLED (which, of course, explains why it makes republicans throw temper tantrums).

Disappointing results? We're about to win Georgia and Arizona. Biden will end up with a bigger popular vote victory than Obama in '12. Cry harder.

I worry about Mi,Wis and Pa. the dem strongholds of Detroit, Philly, Pittsburgh and Milwaukee are all declining in population. That may make victories harder there

All those people are going somewhere - and three of those places are Arizona, Texas, and Georgia.

Or simply moving to the suburbs of those cities. Which is good, b/c it makes democratic voters not quite so heavily concentrated in tiny areas. Gives them more power/less easily packable in congressional and state legislative districts.
