So... trying to not freak out that the results so far are so crap, considering it looks like its mostly Kentucky and Indiana votes [and when you consider that, its awfully close for those states....]

After 2016 they have lost all credibility.
Why? They predicted the popular vote pretty accurately, as I recall, and gave Trump about a 30% chance of winning, based on the final polls, which was way higher than everyone else's predictions.

Fuck I don't remember
FL is going to FL. We have the Miami-Dade USPS scandal where the federal mail defied a judge’s order to sweep for tons of ballots that were found to be sitting around unsorted. Don‘t set your heart on FL. FL is a must-win for R’s not us. That’s why R’s pull out all the stops to cheat here.

It's looking good, though.

It's pretty close, but 75% of the in-person votes have been counted and Biden has a lead again... and the mail votes have yet to come in, AFAIK.

They will need everyone's help to retweet when they file these extensions.

Co-ed naked voting? Weeeeeee!!!! On that Philly video - I'd have normally expected to see some black people since it's Philadelphia but that line looked pretty lily white. Our ward is probably about 60% black, but the line at our polling station was easily 70% white.

How so? They nailed the popular vote, and they gave Trump a 30% chance of winning in their final forecast.
As he said he could not control when that 30 percent arrives. Fine, I have a 99.99999999999 percent chance of not trusting him ever again. No complaining, just reporting the numbers.

As a Pennsylvanian, looking at the state results coming in so far, I am not confident that Biden will carry PA. It is still possible. If I had to lay odds right now, though, I think Trump is going to do better than people think.

I've got one serious complaint and its not a new one - but how in the everliving fuck can they declare a state with less than 1% reported for anyone and then states that are almost all in, in theory, not be declared - and how in the everliving fuck can each network have different results.

I'm turning off the news for tonight because, quite frankly, I'm getting nauseous watching some of the numbers come in. Yes, Biden is in the lead in the EC count right now, but this is looking so much like 2016 that it is very unsettling. I only hope I wake up to brighter news in the morning.

This will take a week or more to fully shake out. If you want to avoid it, find something to marathon on Netflix.
