2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

LOL. Pat Toomey (R) on TV now: "yeah I guess the reason Trump is gonna lose is because he's doing bad with highly educated people"

Who wouldda thunk?

[Non Swing Voter]

John King CNN

326K * 78% = 228,443

Biden's Leads: 188K

That should be 254k.

I wish CNN would people up on the magic wall who can do basic math.  it's not that hard...

[SN2903]

Fox is dumfounded that Biden could get more votes out of Philly than Obama. Only explanation possible must be fraud.

In fairness, it's pretty reasonable for any logical person to wonder how Biden got more votes than Obama anywhere across the country. He's one of the least inspiring politicians of the last few decades to run for president.

But when you consider the hatred against Trump, at least part of Biden's vote count can be explained in some sort of logical way.

True but it raises a lot of questions.

Like how population growth works?

Trump hate isn't an adequate explanation. Biden is such a poor candidate. Also Detroit has been declining so you're wrong about Detroit.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Lmao Peters

Giving Biden a 100K edge at the end.

[Dr. Arch]

Trump is now under 90k in PA.

It is not controversial to point out that Joe Biden is not a popular or charismatic politician. Either is Kamala Harris - hence the Democrat primaries.

So there needs to be some careful analysis of the vote count. IMHO a significant number of the votes are down to the 'get rid of Trump' sentiment, and likely very little to do with any enthusiasm for Biden.

"I don't personally understand how this candidate could have done so well" is not an argument for mass voter fraud.

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

Nobody owes you an "adequate explanation" for voting for a candidate you personally think is uncharismatic. Good grief.

FFS.

How long is this going to drag out?

Surely they’re putting people on overtime and working all night to count right?  Like, they’re not just working business hours, is it?  Honestly, it doesn’t even seem like they’re working regular business hours.  At the current rate they’re counting, we won’t know anything anytime soon.  Weeks or next month.

So will we know who leads though? Cuz there's a difference between final count and who will lead by the end of the night

The dashboard is pleasant and easy to use and reassuring. https://www.votespa.com/About-Elections/Pages/Counting-Dashboard.aspx

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Biden flipped Tarrant Co. in Texas it appears.

I so hope Valenzuela is able to catch up and flip TX-24.... Also we must make sure Bagel knows of this glorious news.

I am aware, and I am hoping

I hope for her to win as well.

"ohn James, a Republican who ran against Senator Gary Peters of Michigan in a tight contest, is refusing to concede, citing vague and unsupported claims of cheating"

what a good sport.

he's a stupid oh you know the word I'm thinking of that would get me more than modded if I said it here lol

[Buffalo Mayor Young Kim]

LOL. Pat Toomey (R) on TV now: "yeah I guess the reason Trump is gonna lose is because he's doing bad with highly educated people"

Reminder that Mike Bloomberg helped Toomey get re-elected. Not relevant to the discussion, just never trust a Lincoln Project type or a ‘good’ billionaire.

[Middle-aged Europe]

One thing has become clear: America needs one hell of a lot more poll workers. Like ten times as many or so.

Yep, that would certainly help. This is consistent with a final PV margin of Biden +100k.

If nearly 50,000 absentee votes are missing from the count, Biden should take the state by way more than 5,000.

I'm still thinking the final margin will be around 20K.

Second declaration of victory from Trump imminent?

This guy never learns.

Who knows?  Obviously the people in charge of vote counting in these states have no clue.  They’re adding fuel to the Trump dumpster fire of voter fraud claims the longer they wait to make any significant reports.
