2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[Flabuckeye]

In regards to Arizona going back to 85%, FOX and the AP did NOT use Edison.

Which source is the most trustworthy?  Fox is farther ahead than the others..

Latinos identity as white, it shouldn't be that shocking they're open to voting a candidate of white identity politics.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!

[Omega21]

Regardless of how this turns out I am so done with this country after last night. For an open white supremacist to almost win re-election because Blacks and Latinos voted for him should show you that we really are the land of the stupid and the home of the uneducated.

Woah, please don't call hundreds of thousands of people of colour stupid for voting the way they want.

If someone votes against their own interests, then yes they are stupid.

So, you are there to tell them what's "in their best interest"?

Are you serious rn?

How the hell is that different to a Republican telling a suburban woman "You don't know what's in your best interest".

What, can't Black people be rich and vote because of lower taxes or the second amendment?

Guess you're the type to put all Black people in the "poor and need handouts" basket.

What's the chance that the closeness of the race reflects the failure to deliver the absentee ballots on time and the high rate of rejection of absentee ballots?

This election is over. The only question is 1932 or 1980 sized wave.

Just wanted to relive the hubris of this moment, lol

Say hello to 1976/2000!

Yup, perhaps 1976 redux. Current NPV is similar, 50.1% to 48%.

Just hope 2024 won't be GOP realignment then.

What is there left for them to realign on?

Biden proves increasingly unpopular over his term his office, and the results from last night prove that the GOP has a path forward with Latino (and to a lesser extent) Black voters

I am astonished by how the Republican party was able to make gains with Hispanic and African American voters in this election. It looks like Donald Trump may hit 25% of the African American vote and a majority of Hispanic voters as well.

You mean 25% of the AA male vote, right?

Or maybe, just maybe, the world is a lot more complicated than woke culture makes its seem and lecturing other groups on how to vote because you don't agree with it is massively arrogant.

Yes. I meant 25% of African American males, not 25% of all African American voters. I originally thought that Donald Trump won 25% of all African American voters, but misread the results.

[dunceDude]

Experts are going to do a lot of great analysis and we don't need to rush it. Demographic change will continue over the next 4 years—remember we're in the awkward place where the Sun Belt is not ours yet, but the Rust Belt is slipping—and Trump, who was set to purge his cabinet and then wreck havoc, is likely gone.

It is far too early to say anything about '22.

As long as things don't take a terrible turn today I'm happy. Someone is finally going to read their intelligence reports, stop the blatant corruption, yatta yatta yatta.

That's really not a fair characterization. They didn't vote for him. More voted for him than last time.

Latinos identity as white, it shouldn't be that shocking they're open to voting a candidate of white identity politics.

You've never met a latino, have you? We're an ethnicity. Generally, we're mestizo, neither fully white nor fully native and between the two in the caste system. Some white Spaniards will identify as latino (see Cubans), but that's a gray area.

[Hope For A New Era]

Pottawatamie County Iowa is looking weird. It was 57R/36D in 2016, and now NYT is showing it as 57D/40R.

A D swing would have been expected there, but not that dramatic. Error?

[EliteLX]

I think it's safe to say, Donald Trump outperformed big time. He will probably lose but the election mafia got it completely wrong. As per usual

Election... mafia? What?

Yes, mafia lol. That includes every political pundit, poll, and user here who harped mindlessly (literally 24/7 - CNN comes to mind) for the last few months of a blatant landslide that could not possibly falter, laughing at groups like trafalger.

And were wrong, yet again.

[gerritcole]

what counties are the outstanding ballots in az from?

As a latino myself, my family and most other latinos I have met identify as white.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Penn is still looking good for Biden so why are some getting pessimistic here about it?

[Sir Mohamed]

what counties are the outstanding ballots in az from?

Mostly blue counties. AZ will go for Biden.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

what counties are the outstanding ballots in az from?

Basically all of them except Yavapai and Santa Cruz.

Young affluent liberals from swing states need to stop moving in droves to liberal strongholds like NY and CA.

[Hassan 2022]

Mondaire Jones won in New York!

Remaining vote is almost all Detroit. Peters should have this narrowly.

[n1240]

Noticed that the outstanding vote in Kent County is mostly just Grand Rapids absentee vote. Looks like Biden will win Kent County pretty easily once these votes are in, considering the current margin in the county.
