Late in the game but I voted for Jorgensen. Can’t wait until we have a Republican candidate I feel good about supporting again.

Don't worry, the Republican Party will be back to nominating a warmongerer who doesn't much care about people dying from lack of healthcare before you know it. He won't tweet too much so you'll all love him.

Being condescending like that is totally going to make me switch to red avatar and start voting for your preferred candidate.

I mean, you literally admitted you were happy about this result because it means the Democrats can't do anything to fix healthcare. You already established that you don't care about it. I'm just trying to be helpful and reassure you the Republican Party will always be there to represent that goal.

Trump gained 200k more votes out of Miami Dade compared to 4 years. I am still amazed by that, I am still confused why that county shifted so hard in just 4 years when it was trending dem before

Honestly? Florida is just a horrible place. Just..... horrid. No redeemable qualities. Sorry!

Biden has taken a 1% lead in Bucks County and there are 30k ballots left to count in the county.

Where'd you see this? NYT still has Trump with a tiny lead in Bucks.

Holy ticket splitting.

Yeah I didn't realize until a few hours ago how much better Fitzpatrick did than Trump.

So does Gross actually still have a shot?

Welp. I finally agree with Hannity on something, maybe this will start a movement to finally get rid of the Electoral College.

And in other news... Kanye West has conceded the election. Smh

I'm not sure, but I just got home from having dinner and went on Twitter, saw that posted, that he's also having a meltdown and guests are arguing with him. So that sounds fun.

Not sure why he has a problem with it since it's the only thing that even gives Trump a chance at maintaining the presidency.

I really wish that Kerry had won in 2004 while losing the popular vote. I think that would've given us the necessary bipartisan desire to put an end to the electoral college.

Was there ever a chance of that happening?

He's not alone

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Manchin haters are ridiculous. He is the Democratic MVP for how much he votes with the party. You can't compare him to Tammy Duckworth, you have to compare him to what his replacement would be in WV. When you game that out, he probably votes 40-50% more Democratic than his hypothetical replacement would. No other Democratic senator provides that value (maybe Tester could come close).

Amen.

I've a question. Does anyone have a guess as to how many counties Biden won? Looking at the county map, it appears that Biden flipped about 15-20 Trump counties from 2016 nationwide, while Trump flipped about a dozen Clinton counties. Biden didn't come anywhere near to approaching Barack Obama's 2012 numbers, let alone his 2008 numbers.

Bumping this forward because I don't think it was seen.

biden was leading in 524 last time i checked. there's a similar number of counties on both sides where one candidate is technically leading with partial results but won't actually win (ex. trump in lehigh, biden in walla walla), so it should stay in the 520-530 range

edit: clarification

Kerry came within striking distance of winning Ohio.

[Andrew Yang 2024]

If Kerry picked Dick Gephardt he could have won.

Does this need to be asked lol

The counties Biden flipped are generally much larger suburban ones though.  So he's definitely improving on popular vote numbers overall.

Hard to say, but I think the networks are making the right move by not calling the AK races.

[Ferguson97]

So does Gross actually still have a shot?

Probably not with the massive polling error we've seen for downballot candidates

Imagine Biden somehow won with Georgia and ALASKA. Would be a sufficiently bizarre end to such a crazy year.

Stay out, loser.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Another day, another unnecessarily deleted post. Donald Trump has Down Syndrome. Wouldn't you feel the same way if you were a losing incumbent president?

[NOVA Green]

NOVA GREEN checking in...

I covered the Swing / Grave shift coverage last Night, after feeling like WI + MI + AZ + NE-02 would take us over the line, so felt well crashing and felt even better when I stumbled back to Atlas sometime around 1:30 PM PDT.

There were over (100) Atlas Pages on Atlas, and although it took me about 6 Hours to read them all, I did it just like a counting vote marathon.

Overall Biden looking well... Really hard to see NV flipping, and AZ looks pretty solid bcs of the massive swings amongst Anglo in Maricopa, plus Pima County holding up solid.

Not quite ready to stick the Turkey into the outdoor Thanksgiving Giant Grease Grill Yet, but feeling still comfortable about the (270) EV win...

At this point PA, NC, and GA are likely the icing on the cake...

When will Trump come out of his basement?

I always had faith in him. The man won reelection in 2018 as Wolf won his district by 19 and Casey by 15, and this time, he's outperformed the top of the ticket by a similar spread.

Yes, the happenings of the lower 48 really matter that much for what happens in Alaska... /s
I'll hold off on writing off Al Gross. Alaska won't count the lion's share of its ballots until later.
