2020 US General Election Thread XI: Is It Over Yet?

[Bombadil]

Alright, the biggies are being counted..

[Valrifell]

Biden leads by 8% in Texas with 20% reporting.

Seems to be mostly because of Dallas.

The AP map seems to say that Dallas isn't reporting yet, it's mostly Houston and Austin-related areas.

[Kowani]

I'm calling FL for Trump, all that's left is the panhandle

[Insaanistan]

If only there was an American version of ‘Boshret Kheir’.

[Valrifell]

With 42% of the vote in, Biden leads by double-digits in Ohio.

[Xmara]

Okay, you all have too many predictions for me to fill out at once. So, I need help: who wants to help me?

So will the person who gets the most right get a prize?

[The Huskar Social Union]

Seems to be mostly because of Dallas.

The AP map seems to say that Dallas isn't reporting yet, it's mostly Houston and Austin-related areas.

On NYT's map Dallas is at 81% counted:

526k for Biden, 261k for Trump.

[San Lumen]

Michigan has also started and Biden currently has a lead there.

Therm said they expect a quick count there.

[Definitely Not Trumptonium]

Not at all, if Trump wins the midwest.

My own prediction is exactly that.

If oh and ph go biden your map goes bye bye

Ohio is doing really bad for Democrats right now. 56.4% Democrat and rural counties aren't coming in yet while Akron, Youngstown, Columbus, Toledo, Dayton and Cleveland are all half-counted already.

[Albrenia]

Apparently the QAnon person won a seat.

Truly, there is no bottom to the depths.

[Kanadorika]

Virginia is only at 25% reporting but Trump's lead is worrying.

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

I'm calling FL for Trump, all that's left is the panhandle

All i know is fl is tight.

[Bombadil]

It's odd because talk was of a red mirage but it seems a blue mirage in a way given Kansas is blue at the moment, I feel it's going to be better to check in some 6 hours from now.. though I can't because it's addictive to watch..

[Zurkerx]

With 42% of the vote in, Biden leads by double-digits in Ohio.

It's still early but I'm surprise it' that far apart: I would have thought it be closer.

[San Lumen]

she was unopposed

[Dresderstan]

Virginia is only at 25% reporting but Trump's lead is worrying.

Wait for it....

[Luna Amore]

Did media call states so massively early last time, I don't remember but you'd think this cycle, of all cycles, they'd be a little more circumspect.. we don't want a Dewey situation.

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.

Don't you think it looks a wee bit odd to call Virginia when the person you are calling it for is down by 21%?

Places like Vermont and Alabama, I understand. I still think it's a bad practice, but I get it. Calling a state when the person you are calling it for is currently noticeably behind is questionable.

she was unopposed

That makes it worse.

[Nobel Hobos 2]

Raising the question of Who Wins?

Perfect prediction, made earliest
Perfect prediction
Nearly perfect, varying by only 1 state
Nearly perfect, varying by fewest electoral number

(Or swap the last two?)

[Thanatttynia]

The amount of money coursing through American politics is staggering... donors pissed away almost $100 MILLION on Amy McGrath's obviously futile campaign

[Insaanistan]

Doncha know? Potential terrorists are bad as long as they’re named “Selim” or “Ali”.

[Definitely Not Trumptonium]

Seems to be mostly because of Dallas.

?

Dallas is almost done.



60.8% Democrat in 2016, for context.

For context, all surrounding rural counties are up Trump %+

[Cannot think of a name]

Some states take their sweet ass time to start calling votes.

None of the calls are official. They're just the news services, not the state governments.

Worth noting, states traditionally take days to certify their results as they count every single one. All the calls on election eve are basically predictions based on sound data. So not having the election official tonight is not actually new, it's just the press not being able to call it.

So, nothing surprising has happened yet, right? PBS is so blessedly calm it's like a warm bath, but no one flips out so I don't know if I missed anything.

[San Lumen]

Virginia is only at 25% reporting but Trump's lead is worrying.

Wait for it....

I have a feeling Northern Virginia isnt in yet

Why was she unopposed? Someone really dropped the ball on that one.
