2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

This is probably the thing Wasserman was tweeting about:

This is an acceptable amount of malarkey - no more, no less

What's the Atlas concensus on that Arizona call?

Fox and AP seem adamant about it, but every other network keeps talking about the shrinking lead every 5 minutes.

Fox and AP are using a data source with precinct-level data that the others don't.  Evidently that data gave them enough confidence to make the call, and stand by it.  Whether that was justified or not is something we can't determine until the final results are in.

Wasn't aware that was the difference, thought it was just the different exit poll. You always seem to have the answers to the questions I think haven't/can't been answered, thank you!

You know something exciting is happening when even people who don't care one bit about politics are posting Insta stories re: Georgia.

Indeed, I hosted a Zoom event covering the election for a bunch of friends who are not particularly political and are also, you know, Scottish not American!

I told them at the start of the night; you’re going to think this is boring for a little while and then before you know you’re going to be frantically discussing how and why Puerto Ricans swung compared to Cubans and you’ll feel like you know every county in America.

Pleased to say I was right on that!
