What do you make of that number of voters, who think the US administration has done a good job in its efforts to deal with corona? I'm not sure what number you're referring to - I'm not watching CNN, just got that quote from here - but in general I'd say lots of Americans are very stupid. Always been very proud of that.

The Anti-Targ Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 A right wing populist radio jock here in NZ says he'd vote for Trump if he was eligible. What was surprising to me is that his colleagues who work at the station with him were shocked and surprised and tried to argue with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's important information to be gleaned from those states too. If Democrats pick up IN-5 that's a real good sign for the night, and if its a blowout loss it's a really bad one. A close loss should be fine, albeit disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Also, assuming Biden wins and rule of law is restored, a bunch of people are going to get in big trouble over this one: Eve of the election with the potential for some big changes afterwards seems like a bad time to be testing the concept that court orders are optional.

Quote NATHANIEL RAKICH NOV. 3, 6:30 PM Elliott County, in the coal fields of eastern Kentucky, was notable for voting Democratic in every presidential election from 1872 to 2012. But illustrating how white, working-class areas like Appalachia have moved away from the party, Trump carried Elliott by 44 points in 2016. Now, with 47 percent of the expected vote reporting, Trump is leading by 33 points in Elliott, according to The New York Times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frey family reunion Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Damn, the right wing nuts are out in force where I’m from. And unfortunately my boss is up for reelection on this same ballot, and the only way he loses if if there is a big right wing nut job turnout. I’m drinking heavily...

IheartIheartTesla Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Will have to wait and see if its enough (about R+2, so it all depends on how independents split, as well as R-D crossover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Lol, Kentucky has gone temporarily blue after 10% count. I imagine that's giving some people with limited critical thinking a heart flutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems so big. And I do think the R-D cross over may be smaller than hoped for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems so big. Why? Let's say Biden wins independents ~ 1.4 to 1.2 million - that's a split of about 54/46% and would make up the 200,000 vote deficit.

Seems a tall order, even with some polling showing indies favor Biden. If it’s just 5 points and republicans don’t defect from Trump 6-3 in comparison to democrats I don’t see Biden getting enough votes to get the state. 9 minutes ago, Rippounet said: That's what she said.

Maithanet Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Pinnellas county has early vote in, and it's Biden +8 (+38k votes). Trump won it by 2. Election day vote is still to be counted, and it was R+21,000. Do that subtraction, and it would be Biden by 17k, which is...ok. Neither great nor terrible for Biden. I was definitely hoping for better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
