My home state PA being one of the swing states (that voted trump last time) better FUCKING come through with a Biden win. 

erie county will tell us which way the state is headed regardless of wether the rest of the vote is in or not, i think. It broke to Obama by huge margins in '08, '12; but went red in '16 by 2 points.

When will they announce the winner?

technically if (and i'm not saying theres a chance) but IF Biden somehow manages to win NC, FL, and GA all tonight; he can be declared shortly after midnight ET--even if the rust belt states have not reported a final count. A Biden sweep in the sunbelt, which i think is a possibility but not a guarantee or even likelihood, is the only chance we have of knowing the winner tonight.

don’t take any pre-closing polling statuses as factual. most arent. hillary had the higher numbers and she still lost

is the youtube channel "let's talk elections" accurate? a lot of their predictions are highly favored towards biden but i know we have to be cautious

he's almost exclusively based off of 538; which has its own special weighting system of which polls are more accurate. They got it super right in 2018, but they gave Clinton a 60% chance on election day.

might not be officially called til Friday even bc of counting absentee ballots etc

 

tbh what I need to hear is “there is no possible way for tr*ump to win now,” til then (if it happens) I’m on edge

City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation of New York

that was a property tax case. RBG upheld that the land belonged to the tribe, but it was not exempt from property taxes.

nobody thinks biden is 100% coming out on top with no chance for trump, almost everyone in here is trying to be realistic and optimistic as possible. what's the point in giving your two cents on the outcome if you aren't even contributing to it and all you do is spew some trump supporter adjacent bullshit. 

yes thank you. Trump still has at least 3 paths to victory (including a tie). Biden has 6. No one thinks that means 100% Biden win. But may the odds be ever in our favour

I’m very anxious but excited for tonight.  Either Trump’s reign of terror will be over and the right will be decimated or America will go back 60 years in terms of rights and be plunged into unrest and terror for the next 4 years.  

To be fair his confident in everything he is a narcissist after all

i don’t think he’s confident. he’s reportedly been telling aides he’s worried he’s going to jail if he loses lol. 

ya Trump has this in the bag. Obviously a man who yells about cheating before the race has even begun is clearly very confident of his position

tbh i think biden has this one in the bag..

i think so too i’m too superstitious to make those statements rip. 

can’t wait to see trump try and announce pre-mature victory tonight only for all the cameras to shut off on him (even fox has pledged to shut him down). 

^^i just wrote a whole list of things he’ll do. but fuck it. why give oxygen to the flame.

And so, from the bottom of my heart, a giant fuck you all to trump supporters

idc what anyone’s “reasons” for voting Trump is. you need to live with the fact that you aligned your voting record with the KKK. and if you call yourself a “christian” or a “patriot”, that should haunt you forever.

the only reason why i don’t is because he’s so old and forgets what he’s saying halfway through his sentences. i think he’d make the country look weak and we’d really be ran by Kamala (who’s an ex cop... ugh) so idk. I mean obviously i voted but either way i think we’re fucked. we’re more fucked with a Trump win.... but we’re fucked

i have faith in the fact that he ran a good campaign. he was steady, didn’t get rattled by trumps attack, was consistently the bigger person, and spent his last week in battleground states of PA MI and FL (unlike Clinton, who’s last rally was in Arizona, which she had no shot of winning and wasn’t a battleground state). 

It worked for him in the primaries, let’s see if he can recreate that magic he used to shockingly beat Bernie. 

can’t sleep. why did we ever let it come to this.

they truly believe that ANYTHING trump does to this country is for the better of us. nothing he has done now phases them, nothing he'd do if reelected would either. they think biden is a 'commie' and trump is a 'true american' hero who's exposing democrats. the most terrifying thing out of all of this is just knowing how many people think like this exist in america. i know the polls show a ton of hope, but his supporters are unhinged. my step father tried telling me that i needed to open my eyes to communism bc that's what biden is going to turn america into. 

 

as scary as it is, im gonna TRY and be a bit more hopeful. biden has a decent lead (so in the very least we know it's not impossible for him to win). im a pessimist but im really trying to think positive for the sake of myself, and all the others out there who are equally fearful of their rights being threatened  

i would also like to make it clear, my comment was made in jest. I would never root for Trump to win just to fulfill personal petty-ness. Sorry if it came off as privileged xo

10 minutes ago, Party Favor said:

Lol they would consider all of this a win

that's even more terrifying thanks. 

lord help me i'm starting to root for trump so that all these idiot supporters saying "we'll be laughing at you on Wednesday morning liberal snowflake" can see how awful a 2nd term of Trump will be when he botches the vaccine rollout, bankrupts social security, and loses our place as a world superpower to China. You may be laughing come Nov. 4th, 2020--should Trump win--but you certainly won't be laughing in 4 years when the country is broke and the laughing-stock of the globe.

i cancelled my plans to work on homework tomorrow bc i know im not gonna be able to focus. i will be drowning out the anxiety with animal crossing 

i have two quizzes 

@new gods look for Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina tomorrow evening. They will report almost all their votes quickly since they've been processing ballots all week. If Biden wins even ONE of these states, theres a greater than 99% chance he'll win the election. If Trump wins all 3, its gonna be a LONG week and a VERY close election (decided by PA). 

Also a quick update: A federal judge denied the GOPs request to have 127,000 ballots in Harris County, TX thrown out. So a win for Biden (considering Harris County is one of the most democratic counties in TX). 

Just now, new gods said:

will the next president be announced tomorrow? i thought they were pushing that back because it took longer to count in the mailed in ballots 

no one's pushing anything back. there has never been an election night where we got 99% of results counted. It's just gonna be harder to make projections this year so we may not know until Wednesday or Friday.

I’m now reached the point of extreme anxiety. All the trumpets are very loud on how trump is for sure going to win. And I know right now biden is in the lead, tomorrow is the actual Election Day and I can’t deal with this man or his supporters for another 4 fucking years. 

same. i'm can barely focus on my lectures cuz i keep checking FiveThirtyEight and NY Times. 

I still have PTSD from when I was 16 and watched the NYTimes Prediction Needle go from "90% Hillary Win" to "10% Hillary Win" in the course of 3 hours on Nov. 8th.
