Yeah, this is normal. States that were pretty much a lock going in get called as soon as the polls close. Like, expect that to happen when California closes even though we have 40 million people.

Bah, Mitch McConnell just got declared the winner. Not unexpected but bah.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Edit: Wait, too soon. Only 38% of the votes have been counted. I hate newspaper titles.

Virginia hasn't had much called yet. And they called the state for Biden. Its gotta be a solid enough margin.

White emigration to Arizona has increased.

Mexican immigration to Texas has increased.

I've noticed that some hand sanitizers leave a greasy (ie non-evaporating) residue on the hands. You'd hope that sort are banned for anyone handling ballots.

It's moisturizer or some shit. To counteract the drying effect of alcohol in the rub.

With all the mail-in ballots, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't know the results and who won until sometime tomorrow, or maybe even later than that.
