> [@Kolak\_of\_Twilo](#): > > I’ve never thought Velocity was serious with those crazy prediction. He’s got a history of these “pie in the sky” predictions like [Hillary would get 358 EV’s](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/presidential-results-prediction-thread/769319/14) and that [Biden would coast to victory with 400 EV’s and D’s would get 54 Senate seats](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/predictions-for-the-2020-us-presidential-election/922525/5). If this continues down the path we’re headed, then I think we can put a handful of these guys’ rose-colored glasses in a fucking blender. ---

Michigan’s weird in that it’s an East Coast time zone state, except for like one or two counties in the UP, which makes it officially a 9pm/Central end-time. ---

Georgia still looks doable but iffy. Harris down by 200,000, but Democrat strongholds have higher than average pending returns. Some counties that broke for Biden last time in the southwest have had _no_ returns. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Still no surprises, but they’re REALLY dragging their heels on calling the safe blue states. Yes, and I’d like to see that change. I guess that now that we’ve hit the top of the hour, more states will close and we should see more results. Thankfully, there’s plenty of beer in the fridge. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Detroit hasn’t released ANY votes yet. Neighboring Oakland County is almost exactly the same as 2020. Anyway, Trump’s victory looks very likely now, but it’s not certain if Harris can win the PA-MI-WI states. ---

My assumption that county by county comparisons to 2020 are a bit misleading because the motivations for people voting are very different this time around. ---

Yeah, it looks pretty red at the moment. I don’t know if there are enough outstanding votes to boost Harris. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/election-day-omnibus-thread/1009683.md?page=28) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/election-day-omnibus-thread/1009683.md?page=30)
