This is so stressful. I keep reminding myself that Florida was the shitty part of the 2018 elections and the rest was mostly great. I was just hoping we could know tonight how this would shake out.
I would love to see Biden pick up a couple of these states - AZ, Ga, TX, and NC.
I said I wasn't going to be nervous, but I am. I can't handle it if it all comes down to Pennsylvania.

FL the margin of difference between trump and Biden is LESS than the third party votes. Just pains me. True, but maybe they are Republicans who just couldn't vote Trump. |

I'm still trying to get my head around your voting system. Can someone please explain to me why in Virginia, the way I'm reading it, the Democrats only have around 40% of the vote but the state looks like it's been declared for them? Or is that not what those figures mean?

What's the deal with Trump over performing with hispanic voters? Latino males. Lots more of them support Trump than makes sense. There have also been a lot of new QAnon converts among Latinos in Florida recently. |

Or is that not what those figures mean? I "think" what you are referring to are news channels "calling a state." Each channel has a league of statisticians and political experts that study election results and once it is statistically impossible for the election results to turn the state differently in the electoral college, they call the state for the win. Does that make sense? There are two states that it is not winner take all on the electoral college. Nebraska is one I believe if memory serves. I can't recall the other. |

I’m feeling a little positive. The states that T has won, were states that he was *supposed* to win. We still have plenty states to go.

Hasn't Ohio predicted like a crazy number of POTUS winners historically? No republican has won the White House without Ohio backing since 1972. |

Or is that not what those figures mean? Not declared yet. Only forecasted since Biden polled at over 10 points over Trump. It's also a blue-leaning state; not really considered a battleground state. |

Just reported...in Georgia a pipe burst in a room that stored the mail in/absentee ballots that have not been counted yet.
“Officials at the State Farm Arena in Fulton County, Georgia, announce that the absentee ballot count will be delayed after a pipe burst in the room containing the ballots, according to @nbcnews”

Coincidence? Bad luck? What are the chances of that happening, especially with all of the talk of “losing the ballots”?? |

If Trump wins Florida, he’d shoot up to a 33 percent chance of winning the Electoral College, per our choose-your-own adventure interactive. The key question, of course, is how much a pro-Trump polling error in Florida would translate to other states.
NNNNAAAAATTTTTEEEEE noooooooooo!

What's the deal with Trump over performing with hispanic voters? He's overperforming in south Florida because he painted Biden as a socialist. Trump lied and people believed him. Hispanic voters in other states may have different priorities so we may see different results in other states. |

What's the deal with Trump over performing with hispanic voters? In Florida, the Cubans fear communism/socialists. Spanish radio stations had heavy dt, anti Biden ads. |

Or is that not what those figures mean? The cities aren't in yet in Virginia. Those counties will likely go for Biden as Democrats do better in urban areas. No media outlets that I'm monitoring have called Virginia yet. So far, every state called has gone the way it was expected to go. |

What's the deal with Trump over performing with hispanic voters? People ftom Venezuela, for example, have lived through Chavez and truly believe the left will have the same results. Tgere’s no reasoning with them  There was also a huge commercial campaign of lies that scared this population according to something I just watched. |

Just kidding.
