2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

After looking at these results it is pretty clear that the African American voters in the South Carolina primary made the right choice and picked the right candidate. I just can't see Sanders having this much strength in the great lakes states which was desperately needed.

Friendship ended with Florida. Georgia is my new friend now.

Yeah AZ looking tough for Trump, seems like the data about election day dropoffs being less GOP and more independent is true.

Fox/AP might end up being vindicated on this one.

I wonder which one of WI/AZ is going to end up being the tipping point state when all is said and done. I think it'll be pretty close. Is there a predicit bet on it?

Indeed.  The first line in Mark Kelly's election night speech was that he'd be a senator "like John McCain."

Is that what Democrats want in 2020, lol?  I mean, I guess it may be the best you can get in Arizona, but it certainly doesn't sound like Kelly will be a reliable vote for Schumer on big issues.

The DINOs in the Senate will be Manchin, Sinema and Kelly 

Manchin is not a DINO he delivers significant value to the Democrats voting well more blue than one can reasonably expect from a Senator from WV. Kelly I believe is going to end up being a Ron Wyden/Jon Tester type who votes mostly with the party but is able to maintain an air of independence via personality and lack of bluster. if you think about it, that's what McCain was too- he was a supposed "Maverick" but until his later years was pretty much in concert with GOP party line on votes.

Do we know how much uncounted total vote is left in PA? I have seen ~40-45k for Philly but what about the entire state?

According to exit polls published by the NYT (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/exit-polls-president.html) Trump has doubled his share of LGBTQ voters since 2016. Can someone explain this?

Exit polls are useless right now. Atleast until they are properly weighted, maybe not even then.

I get the feeling the networks are holding out for a primetime call followed by the Biden speech for maximum drama.

Networks don't conspire with each other like that. They all want to be call the race as quickly as they can as soon as they feel confident enough.

Hm, KLB is being interviewed on CNN and said she heard Loeffler would be funding a recount in her race.  What would be the point?

It's a shame, I used to think she was somewhat attractive until she went full crazy this election cycle. Now firmly on the wrong side of the hot-crazy scale.

Anybody else wonder if some of the media outlets are pressuring the states to release little at a time so they can have their story longer? I wouldn't put anything past these greedy traitors at this point.

You guys sound like QAnon cultists with these theories.

The government needs to start enforcing a strict assimilation policy in Miami-Dade and across South Florida in general. You cannot be in America for long enough to presumably have gained citizenship yet have such strong ties to the old country that the voting behaviors are dictated by the old country. This is America not Cuba or Latin America. America First! No offense intended as I assume they are good people.

So it looks like all 3 of AZ/GA/WI will be decided in under 25k vote each. There is no way Sanders could have pulled this off.

We don't know how many late votes there are in PA that are the subject of a Pub lawsuit that has some merit however, and the Philly elections official stonewalled when asked about that. Yes, the odds are very high that the number is insufficient, thereby mooting that case. But it would be nice to know the number of such ballots that were counted. And now Fox News calls PA, the same outfit that called AZ. Ha!

The late votes have been segregated and are not in the current count. Even if they were all thrown out Biden still wins.

Are you sure? Are we even sure that they were segregated? Alito ordered that just this morning.

The late arriving ballots were segregated based on the order from the PA AG before the election who wisely saw it coming that the Trump campaign might try to use them to bring all mail ballots into question. I am not certain if they are included in the count though. Either way based on reports, their numbers are so small it doesn't matter.

I need to hear from Biden when he plans on imposing new sanctions on Russia. Day 1! Do it Biden!

[TopShelfGoal]

Do we have any numbers or stats on the so called "naked ballots" that were cast and rejected?

[TopShelfGoal]

I'm praying for Trump. I realize that he lost the race and has to have the moral and mental strength to do what is right for our country. I want a fair and accurate count of the votes but once that is done I'd hope Trump accept what is right.

The fact that you have to "pray" and "hope" for Trump to do that tells you everything you need to know about your candidate. No one would be "praying" or "hoping" for Obama, Bush or Clinton to accept defeat and peacefully transfer power, no one would even consider they'd even think about breaching that great American norm.

There is actually academic literature out there that says when a side believes that the election is rigged against them and will be stolen, the people from that side are much less likely to turn out. Nate Silver was was pointing it out in October warning against D leader to not allow the "Trump is going to steal the election" narrative sink in

Hopefully the Democrats take advantage of this and depress the sh**t out the GA Rep turnout. I want a full blown dark facebook campaign to get them to stay home.
