2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

ME-AL just called by NYT lol.

[VAR]

AP calls Maine for Biden.

There were some pretty decent swings to Biden in the western upper peninsula of Michigan. Marquette, for example, appears to have went 48-44 Clinton to 55-43 Biden.

One pattern I've noticed: in 2016, Sanders had surprising strength with WWC in rust belt, and sure enough, Hillary bled votes with those voters. In 2020, Sanders had surprising strength with Hispanics, and sure enough, Joe bled votes with Hispanics.

To go back even further, Obama's weakness with Appalachian whites foreshadowed his collapse with them in the 2008 general.

Trump is an idiot for trying to claim victory early. It's abundantly likely he has won legitimately and those kind of antics only delegitimize it. Nothing good comes out of this.

Except it really is not, and he knows it.

Can someone give me a succinct breakdown of what's outstanding in MI, WI, and PA?  I can't find anything decent in the media.

In particular, in PA Biden is down by 13 with 26% of the vote left.  Is there any reason to believe that he can win the remaining vote 2-1?

No there is not

Pennsylvania's mail-in vote leant Democratic by something like 40 points. There's plenty of reason to believe Biden can overcome the margin.

All 100% of it, man should I even sleep?

NY Times calls AZ-SEN for Mark Kelly.

Related, only 43% is in from Wayne County (Detroit). How well Biden does there will likely determine Michigan.

Does Trump get Maine 02?

AP backs up Fox

[GP270watch]

It sucks for the American public that the two most teflon politicians are Trump and Mitch. Democrats talking about this person or that person is wrong for us still don't get it. We can get the best person like an Obama and the rightwing talk machine will immediately start slandering that person and dehumanizing them until they're nothing but an evil caricature.

[GeneralMacArthur]

Susan Collins is still under 50 in Maine.  How does the outstanding vote look there?

Unfortunately Collins will probably add the 1.7 who voted for crazy person Max Linn.

Does Trump get Maine 02?

It matters if somehow Biden wins NV+WI+NC and nothing else.

Well if Trump wins, he can claim victory over Pelosi botching the stimulus package which was held up deliberately by Pelosi for D's, you don't play with consumers money.

She still has a House but it's no good now without Senate and WH

She should lose the Speakership

I agree with this. Though if Trump wins, he'll still want to pass a stimulus package but he can play hardball now, I would fully expect Trump and Mitch to start bumping heads.

Pelosi passed a COVID relief package months ago.  It was Trump who tweeted out that he wouldn't negotiate with Pelosi under any circumstances until after the election.  Then he backtracked, and asked Mitch to come to the table for a compromise bill, and Mitch refused.

As usual, Mitch is absolved of all blame for situations where he's entirely responsible.

I swear the revisionist history of this election already being written is gonna drive me batty.

If you don't think Pelosi doesn't have any blame in this situation, you're delusional and I know what was going on with stimulus. But this could've been settled back in August.

Rs can rest now, it's not a Supermajority Senate and 6/3 Conservative majority is gonna last until 2030

People care less about abortions

Except there's not. There is literally no reason to believe he can make this up. He needs 75% of the state's outstanding votes, which will not happen

[republican1993]

so i guess targetsmart was right hehe

You don't actually know how many votes are left in Pennsylvania, and nobody does. They accept mail-ins that arrive up to three days after Election Day.

John James will net gain MI for Rs

Pelosi needs to be a better politician, but she was in the right.

Americans just seem to always side with Mitch and Trump in any sort of legislative fight.  Maybe the hatred for Pelosi is just too baked-in.

[Former Crackhead Mike Lindell]

AP showing Wisconsin with 93% reporting, Trump leading by 110,000 votes. Insurmountable.

Are you even paying attention at all?

John King LITERALLY SAID HE NEEDS 75% OF OUTSTANDING VOTES
