2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

More details on the Floyd County issue in the Georgia recount:

“There’s no issues with any of the equipment; I think they just didn’t scan these ballots,” Gabriel Sterling with the secretary of state’s office said. “ So the secretary, since this is such an amazing blunder and they had issues in August, would like to see that elections director step down from his position — because this was too important of an issue to allow to happen this way.”

According to the Rome News-Tribune, 1,643 votes were for President Donald Trump and 865 were for Democrat Joe Biden in the heavily Republican northwest Georgia county. That trims the margin that Biden is currently leading by about 800 votes, but nowhere near enough to affect the outcome.

“That county is the only county we've seen an issue like this so far,” Sterling said. “And again, it's unfortunate, but it's not an equipment issue. It's a person not executing their job properly.”

Real "Waukesha County 2011" vibes here.

Looks like Trump may have marginally increased his share of the black vote in LA, from 7% to 10% in 70% plus black precincts. Across multiple states the evidence appears to point to a 2 - 4% rise in Trump's black vote share vs 2016, instead of 8% in 2016, Trump probably got 11% of the black vote this year.

Heavily ADOS black precincts aren’t necessarily a good proxy for the overall black vote for the same reasons why urban Asian ethnic enclaves aren’t necessarily a good proxy for the Asian vote. But all signs indicate that Trump won a larger percentage of black voters than in 2016.

NY is a hot mess. Will be interesting to see how much NY, when it's done counting in 2025, raises Biden's margins. The absentees counted so far have gone overwhelmingly to him, and upstate NY looks to be continuing the Northeast leftward trend.

Cuomo should resign. The dude is a disaster.

This would be on the secretary of state, Rossana Rosado.

He fixed the OP, but it's now too long in your quote -- please correct.

No, here in New York, the Secretary of State is not responsible for elections.

Elections in NY are administered by the bipartisan agency called the New York State Board of Elections.

It’s the 410 Authoritarian NUT map! “Secret server abroad” and Trump winning 410 electoral votes puts a whole new meaning in the “Authoritarian.”

Trump winning California but losing Colorado... yeah sure, whatever.

Clearly it was made by some OAN staffer on the 270 to win interactive map.

Biden crosses 79 million, and his lead crosses 5.7 million/3.7%.

Joe Biden 79,045,518 (50.9%)
Donald Trump 73,332,310 (47.2%)

Biden lead: +5,713,208 (3.7%)

Biden will cross 51% at this point, while high likelihood Trump falls below 47% in the end

Adam Klasfeld (https://twitter.com/KlasfeldReports) is live-tweeting the PA voter fraud hearing where Rudy Giuliani has added himself to Trump's legal team at the last minute.  (TL/DR: Rudy spewing forth the usual wild claims without producing any evidence.)

Lmao, Trump's disastrous handling of the pandemic may also have killed a disproportional number of his supporters in Georgia and Arizona.

We need to start holding news organizations accountable.  Bring back equal-time rule and ban spread of misinformation on cable TV now!~

I'm not well-versed in how absentee voting works nationwide, but if this extends to other states: he may have cost himself Arizona, Wisconsin, and the GOP a lovely surprise gift seat in Michigan.

The Republican Party has been acting like a wannabe Taliban since 2010, this was the inevitable road they'd go down.

I'm surprised it took as long as it did.
