General Politics Discussion VIII [ARCHIVED] • Page 436

Seems like both GA races should go to a runoff? Best chances at getting to at 50 I'd imagine at this point.

 

Ugh. I’m back. Good morning.

Did I miss anything?

 

As someone who beat you to waking up by 20 minutes and am just getting caught up myself, looks like:

-AP called AZ for Biden but nowhere else new has yet
-Biden has a slim lead (7900) in wisconsin and we're waiting on green bay and kenosha (early?) vote counts
-Nevada also slim, but looking optimistic for Biden
-Michigan seems to be going worse than hoped so far, but too early to tell (see most recent Nate Silver tweets)
-Collins/Gideon looking more like a toss up than last night

edit: and depending on when you went to bed, Georgia might be in better shape than you thought with all or almost all outstanding votes to come from Atlanta

 

thank you!

 

from the 538 liveblog about 15 minutes ago - best summary for what's happened while the east coast was sleeping:

 

I don’t think the libertarian vote was going to Biden

 

I need to go back to bed. Woke up, votes being counted. No big changes yet.

 

Lol this country is such a fucking dumpster fire

 

Is Pennsylvania still in play? I know we don’t need it, but goddamn

 

I don’t believe in PA as much as this guy.

 

My late night look is he’s outrunning Hilary there almost all over, so far so yes

 

Nevada, Mi, Wi looks like a winning mix right now, if it keeps going as is.

 

Back to sleep for a bit

 

Already told my boss I'm taking half the day off so I can sleep more. At least now it's looking a bit more positive.

 

I’m feeling pretty good right now. NV, AZ, MI, WI all look like they are going to come through. The night is playing out how they told us it would, it’s just really hard not to get sucked into the moment with all the despair and 2016 so fresh. I even feel good about PA and GA. 270 seems very likely and pushing towards 300+.

now the senate.....idk. But tbh the mainstream coverage of the senate races has been pretty piss poor and almost an afterthought. I have to google results and look to twitter for insight on how it’s playing out. What do the D’s need to flip? Is there a path anymore?

 

The needle has Georgia at 64% biden

 

It’s weird here today. And the guy next to me didn’t show up today so no blaring Fox News. I don’t know what to even think.

 

Thank you, Arizona. Ohio, I’m disappointed but not surprised. Florida, fuck you.

 

Well hey at least the coronavirus is gone! Don't have to take my mask to work

 

remember all those “it’ll be the same map as 2016 + AZ lmfao” shitposts that were super confidently made? y’all wild
