Looking at this Newsweek article, its going to be close:


Three different projections, and only one has Harris winning, and even that is barely by 2 EC votes.


How has it come to this?
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

The polling is based off of the previous elections, which were far closer to standard conditions than this one. The extremism of one candidate is breaking traditional voting norms. Polling always skewed towards republican, and they've been underperforming massively in the last few years.

I could even go so far as to say "the demographics on which they're basing the current trends no longer apply", but I really don't have to. Nor do I have to say "mainstream media is complicit in platforming the fascist, and has ALWAYS made it into a horse race.".

Did you vote? Cool, take a break. Maybe unplug till wednesday. You're done, hit the showers; Good hustle kid.

If you ain't voted, maybe make your plan to do it, make sure you give yourself plenty of time. Then go home, have yourself a cuppa, maybe a pint, and read a book till wednesday.

When we vote, we win: and my friends; there has been VOTING! Record breaking voting.

I for one plan on unplugging until someone barges into my room to tell me Harris won. And if she doesn't, I don't want to know. In fact, I won't want to know anything ever again.

I’m not far off. Got to run to store and get some groceries, probably catch up on some anime series, maybe power up the PS5 to play some golden (or golden-ish) PSX oldies I got on there…and probably not even touch Facebook or the forum or anything else until mid-Wednesday morning.

First results, Dixville Notch in New Hampshire is split. Harris gets 3. Trump gets 3. Yes, literally 3 people each. There are towns this small.

This is obviously a statistically insignificant number of people. But Clinton beat Trump 4-2 and Biden beat Trump 5-0.

I'm going to bed.

Voted first thing this morning. I only waited because my election day voting place is within walking distance, but my early voting location is in a very inconvenient spot for some reason.

Place was packed all around. Tons of voters, but also tons of workers who who know what they're doing. Process was as smooth as I've ever seen it.

Going to leave early today to vote. I would have done so this morning, but I had early morning meetings plus I needed to bring food to the office for a lunch party.
