Election Day Omnibus thread

Without any votes being counted. The polls weren’t even closed before it was called.

FRAUD ON LEVELS NOONE’S EVER SEEN! SAD!

This is killing me. I’m living and dying with every miniscule advantage reported.

I need to flip to an episode of “King of Queens” or something.

mmm

Eight bomb threats in Democratic-leaning Georgia counties. Nice.

ETA: Or that may have been polling places, not counties. Not sure. I’m sure about the number of threats, though.

West Virginia is no surprise at all. I am disappointed with Indiana (although also not really a surprise).

I hate this so much. I’m terrified just like in 2016 and 2020. I hate every second of it.

I feel like it’s all Trump.

Except, er, New Hampshire.

mmm

This is the red mirage, people. This happens every four years in the first hour of results coming in. Stay calm.

No matter what happens, I’m proud of you Yanks. Hold on to hope.

“First hour of results coming in” are early voting and mail-in. This is where we need to be building a lead, not treading water.

Is her society a thing of value? Legally, probably not.

As for the wisdom, I’d be surprised if at least a couple dozen dateless young men in Arizona and Nevada (where polls are still open) have not, after reading this, have not gotten off and their duff and gone out to vote for Trump.

That’s reassuring, @Smapti , but I think I’ll still mix myself another drink.

Georgia better get cooking if they are going to make their self-imposed one-hour deadline to report all early votes. They currently have 14% reported with 12 minutes to go.

Are they? Because in the past, mail-in votes didn’t get counted until later. One of the justifications for claiming fraud in 2020 was that Trump was leading in a number of states early, before mail-in ballots were counted, and he and his people tried to claim that the states only flipped when false ballots were produced from somewhere (though those were actually the mail-in ballots, and remember the Republicans were warning their voters not to trust mail-in ballots so those heavily favored Democrats).

This pisses me off. Apparently a 6 hour wait for 3 voting machines (it was 4 but one broke) near Lehigh University in PA. Judge refused to extend voting times (fucker) although he will let those in line at 8 PM vote.

Red mirage only applies to states that report in-person before mail-in votes. I think there are not very many of those anymore. PA may be one. Most other states report the early vote and mail-in first.

Sounds like we have folks still in long lines, as usual mainly in Black precincts. Hopefully folks hang in there.

Now that the votes are coming in, I am surprised by how close it is. I’m sure trump will take WV, but dang…

Maybe, I’m not sure which states that applies to though.

PA hasn’t even closed yet.

Yes, I know. That was a general comment. “Red mirage” does not apply to FL or GA.
