2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[MT Treasurer]

wtf is this election

It is proof that if Atlas parrots memes enough, they become real. Cornyn is unbeatable and Florida is titanium tilt R.

LOL

Yeah we even got a NUT map from Cornyn

Where’s the MI motorcycle though?

[Stockdale for Veep]

When is AZ going to dump again?

[͘]

So...I wonder how long until this second wave of optimism dies.
Also I love how the dooming needle has suddenly dissappeared.

We all know it’s off the charts

The only next logical step to dooming is nihilism.

An update on Missouri...Clay County is 43% reporting with a big lead for Biden, while Platte is narrowly won by Trump with 98% reporting. So it looks like we're getting one county flip.

By the way, I was right and the polls were wrong - Galloway is outperforming Biden. Not nearly enough to win, obviously, but she is.

Trump's destroying Biden on Suffolk, NY

The cops and firefighters really are helping Trump there

Nassau is Democratic

I have Trump winning Suffolk, but he's up four with 32% of the vote in.

Trump held Robeson County by a substantial margin. I'm not sure to what extent Biden's endorsement of federal recognition for the Lumbee tribe helped him there. Every vote is critical in a race as close as this. And thus far, we have not seen any truly surprising outcomes in the Senate races. Marshall in Kansas and Graham in South Carolina have both won, as has Cornyn in Texas, thus taking reach seats out of contention for Democrats.

IA, ME, and AK will determine whether the Senate flips tonight.

Yes, give up on a Montana Democratic Senate Candidate on election night, that always works out.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

For some reason now I'm getting local news.

Same here.
It's good tbh. Other races are getting love than just the presidential race.

Networks go local for 11-11:30 unless something major happens. Then back to national until it’s decided

As a resident of the DFW area, they are giving updates on local elections every 30 minutes or so.

Can we, like, ban Florida from announcing any votes until like three days after the election in the future? Because the roller coaster of emotions I am experiencing tonight is almost entirely because of that state.

[Badger]

I won't jinx it, but it's nice that it's quieted down here a bit. 

The amount of early celebration and early despair was absolutely insufferable. 

Think they muted some doomers who were not actually being constructive.

Good!

I’ll give you credit, you really do stick to a script

[Hope For A New Era]

Urban areas still mostly unreported in Ohio, so a likely drift toward Biden coming. A good sign for the rest of the Midwest.

[Bojack Horseman]

Jocelyn Benson has announced that Michigan is expecting 70%-72% turnout which translates into 5-5.5 million votes when it’s all said and done.

That’s why I didn’t overreact to it though, it threw me off-guard in 2018. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... Fool me, you can’t get fooled again.

[MT Treasurer]

Wow - Iowa looking pretty good for Biden. Who’d have thought he’d win it before FL?

Hes not winning Iowa man.

Why not? Solid lead so far, I think no particular counting bias (could be wrong on that though), and Biden leaving in several rural Obama-Trump counties.

Biden and Greenfield are toast in IA, lol.

[Storebought]

I thought OH was already called for Trump.

[Omega21]

Wow, GA, NC, and TX might vote to the left of Florida. WTF

Cubans love their strongman dictators. They just disagree on which side they like.

Damn, seems like a very racist stereotype of a huge ethnic group.

Fox calls AZ for Biden

Iowa is closing fast, Trump has it and likely Ernst and with that, the senate likely stays R.

[rhg2052]

Dare I predict the 269-269 map?

[MasterJedi]

Looks like everywhere is going to approve legal weed today so something positive.

[NOVA Green]

I'm black and I'm honestly wondering how Trump is doing better with my demographic than last time. What do these black Trump voters see in Trump? The Latino results I can at least kinda see with the whole socialism thing, but black voters?

IDK... but quite frankly IMHO looks like a major polling error in the margins, plus Trump doing slightly better among Black Men than in 2012, and HRC didn't cut it when it came to the Recession of the the '08s > '13s?

Ragging on the “doomers” for weeks and months.

Then when we’re right ... muting us? Sounds fair lol

Fox calls AZ for Biden

That means CNN will call it at oh....around 2am. lol
