That’s not just metro Atlanta dude. The majority isn’t even in yet and yes the rural vote is in. The southern half of the state is reporting for Trump.

I just realized something, the House seats called so far have had the incumbents/incumbent party win, is the House set to be almost level from 2018?

The first ones called are probably deep-red or deep-blue, just like states.

Trump appears to be leading Michigan, but is behind in Ohio.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Why are 90% of votes already reported in FL? Isn't it usually the last state? At least movies made me think that.

Trump would have to damn near sweep not just true battleground states, but states that slightly lean blue. I’m keeping tabs and while Florida is encouraging, I’m seeing more likely a Biden win than Trump rn.

Correct based on the NYT by what I see.
