This thread is for the Presidential election, my plan is to start marking wins as soon as they are called, sorted by time zone.

Some states are going to take longer than others. Polls generally close at 8 PM local time, but they can't start counting early/mail in votes until after the polls close.

Wisconsin in particular has an interesting system where ballots are collected by MUNICIPALITY, not precinct, they have over 1,800 ballot counting locations and don't report until ALL 1,800 are in.

Currently 226 EC votes from Blue States:

4+19+10+7+3+3+4+10+11 +4+14+28+4+3+13+54+12 +10+5+8+6

NC called for Trump. -16 here, +16 to Trump.

GA called for Trump. -16 here, +16 to Trump.

PA called for Trump. -19 here, +19 to Trump.

AZ and NV both called for Trump, +11, +6

Which leaves 312 EC votes in Red States.

9+6+6+6+8+6+10+5+3+7 +3+40+30+11+8+17+9+11+4+3+4+4+3+16+16+19+11+6

With NC Called for Trump tonight, its time for us all to take a rest and sleep. NC was the early decision point. We all expected it to go Trump, but if it went Kamala then Trump basically lost.

Now that Trump is confirmed to win NC, its a long road until PA is called. And Kamala needs to win PA, MI, and WI all together. No point stressing about it now, just sleep and you'll know tomorrow morning for two of those three. And wait until Friday before PA is called (or later, if its really really close).

Staying up a bit longer to see how AZ goes is interesting but likely not too important anymore.

I have to say that the wording here feels oddly suspect. I have never gotten a sticker that said anything other than "I voted!" and it really concerns me about the subtle messaging here. I tried to make a separate post about it, but image posts aren't allowed apparently.

Trump is up 3,000,000 in the popular vote in reported precincts. That trend will not hold. Harris will flip that and then some.

Unfortunately popular votes or the lack thereof don’t decide the election for either side.

If you're feeling stressed out about all of this, imagine what it must feel like to be Trump. He's either about to go on the biggest power trip anyone has ever gone on ever, or he's going to go to prison where he'll probably die.

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

He’s a narcissist. He doesn’t believe he will ever actually experience any consequences. He is incapable.

82,000,000 people voted early. It’s ridiculous that the race doesn’t start with those votes counted and reported.

Howdy, folks. First time doom scrolling? Enjoy the ride. I'm going to go work out and come back later

God this hurts to watch right now. There's too many data points to comprehend but too few for commentators to tell me the trend.

Fucking Dixville. You guys had no problem voting for Biden, but half can't vote for the colored lady. That's a bridge too far.

I really am in disbelief of these results.

It's a nightmare enough that we've lost the Senate and House both to the insane clowns of GOP. Now with the presidency on the brink of being lost too, it's worse.

Congrats, America, you've...shown your true colors here. 66 million of you seemed to really believe that a rapist, murderer and convicted felon is what's best for the country. You seem to believe that women should be treated as property. You believe immigrants should all be massively deported. You believe LGBTQ people are subhuman. You believe black people are the butt of the jokes.

Ukraine is going to lose the war now. Palestinians are going to be on the brink of extinction. Europe mind as well just block all contact with America. I expect more reversals and policy rollbacks. Corporations are going to get a huge push to royally fuck things up even more, with great support in doing so. I expect to see the landmark Supreme Court 2015 ruling rolled back and we'll be returning to "MARRIAGE IS SACRED TO A MAN AND WOMAN!" again.

I'm really failing to understand all and any self-justifications for why 66 million people really think this is what's best for us. I can hear the celebration roaring as those people rapidly continue to bang hammers against their heads in joyous glee.
