2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

Perdue down to 50.3%.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I can’t get over the fact that Cal's sexy messenges might cost us the Trifecta for Dem legislation to effectively combat climate change. Icebergs will melt because of how hot he is. Sexiest butterfly effect.

You might say he's...historically sexy.

GA Update: Trump's margin down to 47,000.

Is there any chance Georgia might be called tonight? Or it might end up too close (whether it's for Trump or for Biden)?

WE JUST LOST THE SENATE FOR A PERFECT PHONE CALL!

[Agonized-Statism]

Wonder what will happen to the QAnon narrative.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Joe is down 35K in Georgia now.

If that update was the Fulton absentees, Trump wins.  If the Fulton absentees are still out, Biden wins.

If it's looking good for Trump, it won't be called.

If Biden even has a sniff, it will likely be called tonight.

You're sounding like a conspiracy theorist.

Well, he's calling on the Proud Boys he put on standby:

No, the margin will be within the recount threshold (one can be requested by a candidate if the margin is less than 0.5%).  I'm guessing about a 20K win for Biden if current trends hold up, which would be about 0.4%.

Perdue down to 50.3%.

I'm feeling confident that we'll at least get a runoff. Ideally Ossoff gets the nod but it might be better to have him and Warnock working together and really put a spotlight on two special election races.

Literally all of the outstanding vote is Absentee, most of that from Democratic counties. If Biden takes the lead here with any votes remaining, he has won.

Thank you for sharing.

Shoutout to the one dude wearing a Reagan Bush '84 shirt.

I'm going to say something that's going to piss a lot of people off.

Bring back poll tests.

I'm going on the record here.

If voters were required to have even a rudimentary understanding of governance and the policies in question, Bernie would have won the primaries and general in a landslide.

I don't know if it would help Bernie or similar candidates. But at this point it's just plain irresponsible to let these freaks decide our elections and impose their twisted will upon the rest of us.

If that update was the Fulton absentees, Trump wins.  If the Fulton absentees are still out, Biden wins. 

If I understood the Fulton press conference a minute ago, those votes weren't the Fulton absentee ballots — or certainly not all of them. Fulton just said to expect their result around midnight.

Here's a random question if anybody's tracking - what's been Kanye's best county result?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

This election in many ways feels very similar to KY 2019, where despite Trump and Bevin going down the GOP seemingly did pretty well across the board.

Also it seems like McConnell is treating Trump now the same way the KY GOP Legislature treated Bevin after his defeat

This analogy didn't come to mind before, but it makes a lot of sense.

[Pulaski]

A software error means ~80 000 mail-ins in Georgia aren't being reported - they'll likely lean Biden.

This is gonna take a while and people shouldn't get too doomer-y about early results.

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

Hey wow would you look at that

Yeah, f*** him! Thom Tillis broke the Helms hex!

 Jeff Jackson should have run instead. If he would rather run for the other seat in 2022, he is choosing wrong. Thankfully, as much as North Carolina disappointed tonight, I do think that Democrats still have a future there with some investment. Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina are probably the states we need to make up for Florida, Iowa, and Ohio.

I doubt many would split in the two runoffs. Both races are likely to go the same way

[NYSforKennedy2024]

I've been getting donation texts from Trump telling me to fight back, lmao.

Certainly this won't open the possibility for civil unrest and terrorism, no?

[Crumpets]

It says it's only 58% reporting, so I expect this will change, but I am absolutely blown away at Biden's performance in Walla Walla County, WA. Even if he loses it within 10 points, that's a huge statement on college voters turning out en masse for Biden.
