-Steve Kornacki (MSNBC); November 5, 2024; 7:05pm EST

-Wolf Blitzer (CNN); November 5, 2024; 8:22pm EST

“With 91% of the vote in, we have been trying to find out where is the vote that is left in Florida, so lets look at this way, Gavin Newsom is down about 32,000 votes. He’s gotta make that up. So where are the pockets of vote that are out?”

-John King (CNN); November 5, 2024; 9:35pm EST

“Look, I think you’d still rather be in Newsom’s position, than Carlson’s as we sit here now, but you can certainly write a scenario. He’s not lost any states that he must have, and he’s competitive in a lot of states we thought would break Newsom’s way”
-Chris Wallace (FOX); November 5, 2024; 9:37pm EST

“As you move towards the west, we are only up 23% in Michigan, but again, you’re starting to see Carlson build a healthy lead, some people look at that and say ‘Wow’. The other way to look at it is that most of what we have so far is from the rural areas, so its not surprising in the sense of looking where the votes are from”
-John King (CNN); November 5, 2024; 9:42pm EST

“Right now, Newsom is down about 40,000 votes in North Carolina. Where could he make it up, there are three places he’s going to look: one is Mecklenburg, about 475,000 votes cast in 2020, and if you add the current votes up, we are still about a 125,000 short of that, so he might come close to making up the deficit there”
-Steve Kornacki (MSNBC); November 5, 2024; 9:45pm EST

“CNN now projects that Gavin Newsom will win the state of New Mexico with its 5 electoral votes. Gavin Newsom wins New Mexico.”
-Wolf Blitzer (CNN); November 5, 2024; 9:47pm EST

“We’ve been talking all night about how important the Hispanic vote is. They are going to Governor Newsom in big numbers. New Mexico has generally been a blue leaning state, but think about what this means for Florida, Arizona, Texas, and even now Georgia with the growth in Atlanta – these are all states Carlson can’t afford to lose”
-Steve Schmidt (MSNBC); November 5, 2024; 9:47pm EST

“In the state of Nevada, our call at this hour is too close to call.“

“CNN can now project that the State of Colorado, with its 10 electoral votes, will go to Gavin Newsom. You see, 54% of the vote in, he’s leading by more than 82,000 votes. 10 Electoral votes in Colorado, another important win for Governor Newsom.”
-Wolf Blitzer (CNN); November 5, 2024; 10:07pm EST

“I just want to see what’s happening here in Manchester. 8 percent of New Hampshire’s population here. This is an issue we are seeing consistently, Tucker Carlson’s appeal to blue collar workers. 8 points for the President four years ago, two points for Newsom now. These are traditionally Democratic areas.”
-John King (CNN); November 5, 2024; 10:11pm EST

“Texas is going to decide who wins tonight, simple as that”
-Steve Schmidt (MSNBC); November 5, 2024; 10:15 EST

-John King (CNN); November 5, 2024; 10:18pm EST

“Hold on, there’s a big ol’ call to make right now – and that is that Fox News is projecting that Tucker Carlson has won the state of Wisconsin. There goes the Blue Wall.”
-Megyn Kelly (FOX); November 5, 2024; 10:29pm EST

“Wisconsin always looked like one of the first Blue Wall states that Tucker might be able to flip, but I didn’t know based on polling, and based on how Democrats talked about Wisconsin, and how Newsom campaigned there. I didn’t realize it would be so early that we could call Wisconsin for Tucker Carlson.”
-Jake Tapper (CNN); November 5, 2024; 10:36pm EST

“CNN can now project that Tucker Carlson has won the state of New Hampshire. New Hampshire goes for Tucker Carlson. 4 electoral votes”
-Wolf Blitzer (CNN); November 5, 2024; 10:50pm EST

“Fox News can now project that Tucker Carlson has carried the state of Maine, his adoptive home state. Remember that Maine is one of the two states which doesn’t do winner take all, so we are only awarding three out of the four electoral votes to Carlson, but this is an important win for him regardless”
-Bret Baier (FOX); November 5, 2024; 10:52pm EST

“Big reaction here at Bryant Pond, the crowd whooping it up, they are watching Fox News very closely. Winning Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and now Maine keeps Tucker’s plan in place. It’s very simple plan: Hold the Ryan states, flip Florida, and then shatter the Blue Wall”
-Carl Cameron (FOX); November 5, 2024: 10:55pm EST

“We’ve gone all the way out west, and here we go. In the Golden State, in California, Governor Newsom has won his home state, note the electoral votes 55, the largest prize of the night”
-Brian Williams (MSNBC); November 5, 2024; 11:00pm EST

Calls as of 11:00PM EST
Gavin Newsom / Julián Castro – 200 EV
Tucker Carlson / Josh Hawley – 161 EV

“Obviously the best thing for Democrats, if you are looking for good news, you’re looking in Wayne County. This is where Detroit is, this is a place that cast some three quarters of a million odd votes four years ago, so you can see is there is a lot of vote left in Wayne. The other thing I can say is, earlier on we saw a closer race, It seems that the suburban parts of Wayne reported first, so now maybe the heart of Detroit is what is left to come in, Newsom is going to get a lot more votes.”
-Steve Kornacki (MSNBC); November 5, 2024; 11:15pm EST

“We can now call Oregon and its 8 electoral votes for Newsom. Reliably Democratic, though closer than usual tonight.”
-Bret Baier (FOX); November 5, 2024; 11:44pm EST

“Hold on, we have another Senate call to make. Fox News can now project that John James has won re-election in Michigan. A former presidential contender, James has been very critical of Tucker Carlson and is one of the Senators who has not endorsed the Republican nominee.”
-Dana Perino (FOX); November 5, 2024; 11:47pm EST

“Just before midnight, we can call Nevada, the Silver State, for Gavin Newsom. Another 6 electoral votes in the Governor’s column”
-Brian Williams (MSNBC); November 5, 2024; 11:58pm EST

Calls as of 12:00AM EST
Gavin Newsom / Julián Castro – 214 EV
Tucker Carlson / Josh Hawley – 161 EV

“Right now Tucker Carlson has pulled into a narrow lead. If you look at where the vote is still to come, there’s still a little scattering in the Philadelphia suburbs, maybe a little left in Philadelphia, but the single biggest source of outstanding votes in Pennsylvania are in Butler County, just north of Pittsburgh. This is a red county, and I should say that the red counties around Pittsburgh, and really across the state are a lot redder than they were four years ago”
-Steve Kornacki (MSNBC); November 6, 2024; 12:06am EST

“Fox News can now project that Tucker Carlson has won the state of North Carolina and its 16 electoral votes.”
-Bret Baier (FOX); November 6, 2024; 12:26am EST

“Let’s not lose sight of the fact that Paul Ryan carried this state by five, and it looks like Carlson will carry the state by about a point. His brand is toxic in the racially diverse Sunbelt, and its clear he’s losing a lot of ground there compared to how Republicans did four years ago”
-Steve Schmidt (MSNBC); November 6, 2024: 12:32am EST

“CNN can now project that Republicans will keep control of the House of Representatives. Republicans have held both chambers of Congress since 2014, and on the basis of tonight’s results, they will hold it for another two. Republicans keep control of the House of Representatives”
-Wolf Blitzer (CNN); November 6, 2024: 12:53am EST

“CNN can now project that Tucker Carlson has won Pennsylvania and its 19 electoral votes. Pennsylvania goes to Tucker Carlson – a huge win for Carlson, part of his rust belt strategy”
-Wolf Blitzer (CNN); November 6, 2024; 1:14am EST

“I know we just cut away, but we have another projection to make. Fox News Decision Desk can now call Michigan for Tucker Carlson, another 15 votes for Tucker Carlson. This changes the dynamic of the whole race.”
-Megyn Kelly (FOX); November 6, 2024; 1:16am EST

“If you want to see why Newsom currently has a lead in Texas, you look at suburban Dallas. Up in Collin, Tucker Carlson has a 4-point lead. Ryan carried it by 19. Over in Denton, Tucker has a 9 point lead, a bit better, but Ryan carried this county by 21. Finally down in Tarrant, which has Fort Worth, Newsom actually leads by 2, Ryan carried that county by 11.
-Steve Kornacki (MSNBC); November 6, 2024; 1:21am EST

“In Georgia, with 96% of the votes in, Gavin Newsom has taken a lead of 1,491 votes. Neck and neck in Georgia. With 16 absolutely critical electoral votes.”
-Brian Williams (MSNBC); November 6, 2024; 2:00am EST

Calls as of 2:00AM EST
Gavin Newsom / Julián Castro – 214 EV
Tucker Carlson / Josh Hawley – 211 EV

“We have another important Senate call. CNN can now project that Texas Senator Ted Cruz will win re-election, defeating Joaquin Castro – the brother of Julián Castro, Gavin Newsom’s running-mate”
-Dana Bash (CNN); November 6, 2024; 2:33am EST

“I don’t know how much this reassures you if you are Tucker Carlson, Cruz has been outrunning him in suburban areas, and particularly in Harris County, the largest in the state, and Cruz didn’t win statewide by all that much. Texas is still very close for President.”
-Brit Hume (FOX); November 6, 2024; 2:36am EST

“Fox News can now project that Gavin Newsom has won the State of Georgia, with its 16 electoral votes. This was a Ryan state in 2020, and a huge setback for Tucker Carlson.”
-Megyn Kelly (FOX); November 6, 2024; 2:44am EST

“The amount of support that Newsom got in many of these suburban Atlanta counties, and remember these used to be Republican strongholds, is astounding. In Cobb he got 54%, In Henry he got 57%, In Gwinnett, this is the big prize, he got 58%. Really shows how much these diversifying suburbs have abandoned the GOP since 2020”
-John King (CNN); November 6, 2024; 2:53am EST

“In Texas, Newsom has a lead of, hold on the numbers just updated, Tucker Carlson now has a lead of 212 votes, in Texas. 41 electoral votes, the most of any state still up for grabs. Extremely close in Texas.”
-Brian Williams (MSNBC); November 6, 2024; 3:00am EST

“We haven’t heard from Florida in a while, and that’s because it seems that we have got all of the vote that we will for the night. There’s still some provisional and overseas ballots out, but those are unlikely to be counted tonight. Tucker Carlson leads by 41,698 votes. which is well within machine recount territory”
-Steve Kornacki (MSNBC); November 6, 2024; 3:06am EST

“Fox News can now project that Tucker Carlson will win the fifth vote from Nebraska. Remember that earlier in the night, and it feels like years ago now, we could only call four of the five votes, but now we can call all five for Tucker Carlson.”
-Bret Baier (FOX); November 6, 2024; 3:10am EST

“You still have a decent amount of vote from Hennepin that hasn’t been counted. The question is, where in the county will that remaining vote come from. If the vote from Minneapolis, there’s a very good chance Newsom retakes the lead in Minnesota. However, if its from the more suburban parts of the county, Newsom still probably gains votes, but probably not enough to retake the lead.”
-Steve Kornacki (MSNBC); November 6, 2024; 3:24am EST

“If you look at where the vote is still out in Texas, it’s mostly out in the west of the State. A number of these small counties that currently have big margins for Tucker Carlson. However, remember that El Paso is on Mountain Time, not Central, so they have not had as much time to count. There’s still going to be a decent amount of vote left that could allow Newsom to regain the lead”
-John King (CNN); November 6, 2024; 3:45am EST

Calls as of 4:00AM EST
Gavin Newsom / Julián Castro – 230 EV
Tucker Carlson / Josh Hawley – 215 EV

“We can now project Minnesota and its 9 electoral votes for Tucker Carlson. No Republican has won this state since Richard Nixon in 1972. 9 electoral votes for Tucker Carlson in Minnesota, a big win for his campaign.”
-Brian Williams (MSNBC); November 6, 2024; 4:07am EST

“You know the Tucker campaign said they would win in Minnesota, and I don’t think many people took them seriously. But he said he would flip blue collar workers and turn out rural voters and he has done exactly that.”
-Chris Wallace (FOX); November 6, 2024; 4:12am EST

“You look at Maricopa County and Tucker Carlson has a lead here. But if you look at the number of votes cast in Maricopa in 2020, and compare that to now, we still have at least 600,000 votes to count here. These are mail-in votes, and they tend to skew Democratic. It’s going to be a long time before we know the winner in Arizona.”
-Steve Kornacki (MSNBC); November 6, 2024; 4:28am EST

“Yes. Big news in Texas, it seems there was a tabulation error in Dallas County, which inflated Newsom’s vote total. You know Wolf, these things happen from time to time, an extra zero was added to Newsom’s figure in one of the precincts in Dallas. So that removes about 9,000 votes from Newsom and puts Carlson up to 23,000 vote lead statewide. Tucker hasn’t won the state yet, there’s still some vote out west, and provisional ballots, but this really helps his chances”
-John King (CNN); November 6, 2024: 4:45am EST

“We will now go live to the Tucker Carlson Campaign in Bryant Pond, where we are told there will be a major announcement”
-Bret Baier (FOX); November 6, 2024; 5:05am EST
 
“Our campaign has looked at the results, been in contact with all 254 county election offices in Texas, and all 67 county offices in Florida. Based on the results counted, and how few votes are left, we can confidently say that Tucker has won both Florida and Texas, and will be the next President of the United States”
-Carlson Campaign Manager Brent Littlefield; November 6, 2024; 5:09am EST

“For too long, a selfish ruling class has pushed this country to the brink of destruction. But tonight, Tens of Millions of Americans, speaking with one unified voice, have sent these elites a clear and unmistakable message: No more. The American people will once again be masters of our own country.”
-Tucker Carlson, declaring victory in the 2024 Presidential Election; November 6, 2024; 5:15am EST

“It’s very possible he’s jumped the gun. The FOX decision desk still hasn’t called either Florida or Texas. Both these states are very close. There are provisional ballots to count and likely will be recounts. Remember what happened to Donald Trump in 2016, where he was ahead on election night, but those late breaking ballots gave the Presidency to Clinton. We won’t know who won for a few days at least”
-Brit Hume (FOX); November 6, 2024; 5:33am EST

“In terms of where we are at this point, in Florida, Tucker Carlson leads with 42,000 votes, about .4%. In Texas, he only leads by .2% about 26,000 votes. In Arizona, Carlson is up 20,000 votes, about a percent, though there’s a lot of postal vote out that favors the Democrats.”
-Steve Kornacki (MSNBC); November 6, 2024; 5:58am EST

“CNN’s election coverage is going to continue, non-stop right now. Chris Cuomo and Alisyn Camerota, they are going to be joining us on ‘New Day.’”

what's with FL, TX, NC, and GA?

They have the "Maine Rule" for allocating electoral votes.

In Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and Georgia, AOC won the statewide vote, winning 2 electoral votes in each.

With regard to Congressional districts, in Florida, Tucker won 19 of 29 Congressional Districts, so he received 19 EVs. In Texas, he carried 25 out of 38 Congressional Districts. In North Carolina, 9 out of 14. In Georgia, 10 out of 14.

Is this continuing? Loving it

I do have this timeline planned through to 2044.

I already have all of the wikiboxes and other associated graphics made, but I have yet to do a proper "headline writeup". I do have a few paragraphs outlining what happens, so I could post an edited version of that soon - or if everyone really has an overriding preference for the "headline writeup" style, I could make that, but y'all would have to wait awhile to get the update.

[reagente]

This TL is fantastic, and horrifying.

And just to be clear--because Garland was a recess appointment, did the Republicans basically kick him off the court?

My understanding is recess appointments automatically expire after roughly a year whenever the Senate does a sine die adjournment, so a situation develops where we have a fully manned court where Garland and others keep getting appointed via recess appointments until Tucker comes along, then the GOP lets the three recess appointments lapse and Tucker makes three full appointments.

[reagente]

Update soon perhaps?

No promises, but hopefully part two (of three) will be finished this Friday or Saturday.

[reagente]

Obviously COVID has tossed a wrench into all of our lives

But is this still continuing?

Yeah, expect an update sometime in the evening.

EDIT: It might take a little longer, this update is turning out to be longer than I thought it would be.

Great job!  Surprised how remarkably consistent the EC map stayed throughout.

I figured that the heightened polarization, combined with the large amount of disenfranchisement, would keep the Sunbelt competitive (rather than begin to lean Democratic), and thus allow the map to be pretty static in terms of the statewide winners. Granted, Republicans are coming close to winning a few states held by the Democrats, and certain parts of the GOP firewall are becoming more vulnerable to flipping.

What I was expecting to be the last update will instead be split in two. The third update (of four) should be finished sometime this week.
