Man I thought Biden was gonna win by 6 electoral votes but now I'm thinking we may get a 269-269.

God I hope so. Would be amazing to watch the country fall apart.

In your dreams. If you're lucky, Biden MAY get the popular vote.

Once again, I think that Fox is calling too early. According to the NYT page ( https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/results-texas-president.html ), Trump leads in TX by 600k votes, and there are 870k outstnanding votes in Clinton counties and just 260k in Trump counties.

So the potential is there for the state to tighten again.


Similarly, the Times' needle model has tightened substantially in Georgia, now only projecting Trump to win by 1.1%; and giving Biden a 21% chance of winning the state.

Like I said earlier, this narrative that this was all gonna be a repeat of 2016 and that Trump had this election in the bag was completely premature.

Susan Collins has a huge lead. That was a race that Dems put a TON of money into. Looks like Republicans will still hold the Senate. Cocaine Mitch, LOL

Fox also just called TX for Trump.

Going to be a long couple of days.


Even if Biden wins, he's a lame duck.

Good triumphs over evil yet again.

1 million uncounted votes at the statistical average still loses the state for Biden.

If only it worked that way.

No, we get a contingent election if a tie occurs. That means the state legislatures get to vote for the president. There are more states with GOP majorities in the state legislature. So Trump wins a tie by default.

Biden winning a nail-biter which is neither a repudiation of Trumpism nor an affirmation of the Democrats' leftward lurch, while Republicans hold the Senate, might be the best result for the country.
