Fulton county looks a bit soft for Harris. 71.5% for her. Biden got 72.5%. Even a one percent slip there is enough to lose the state.
This feels very much like 2016.
Same day vote in my building:
277 Harris
41 trump
4 other
Arkansas to trump
Well, it should, as that’s what the polls basically said. But that will mean it’ll be very close; Trump only barely won.
Josh Stein has won NC. Good sign for Harris.
Delaware to harris
Trump now ahead in VA with 41% of the vote in. I don’t think Harris will lose it, but it’s not a good sign at all…
Delaware for Harris, says MSNBC.
It would be ironic if after all this the polls WERE almost dead n
Lisa Blunt Rochester for senate chair and gov race to Matt Meyer in Delaware.
Yeah, the polls basically said “within margin of error, so too close to call” and I predict that that’s how the night will end.
I hate it. I wish I didn’t know anything at all about politics. Or care about any of it.
So far I am disappointed and scared.
WI, MI, PA + NE-1 get Harris to 270 electoral votes and the Presidency.
Any one of GA, NC, AZ, and NV — or any surprise state like OH — gives Harris breathing room.
Nothing so far gives me any cause for concern.
What party?
I, at least, don’t have all the state candidates for all the states memorized.
(I know I could google it. I’m sick, and don’ wanna.)
NYT and MSNBC aren’t making the same prediction in each state.
This is painful. Every time CNN shows a Trump-favorable count, I assume the worst. Every time CNN shows a Harris-favorable count, I assume “well, it’s too early to say - they just counted the Harris-supporting areas first, later it’s going to change.”
Anyway, as long as I’m a pessimist, I can only be pleasantly surprised.
Just poured my first glass of wine. (It’s 3:38 here as I type). We leave for a “party” in a few minutes although perhaps it will be a wake or the equivalent of family gathering in the hospital with a terminally ill patient. Bringing a tasty comfort food dish (pasta Alfredo with greens, as published today in the NYT food section) and a bottle of locally produced mead.
Kornacki / MSNBC :
Philadelphia County PA, with 18% reporting has Harris at 87.2%, when Biden was at 81.4%.
Delaware County PA, with 15% reporting she’s at 75%, Biden was at 63%.
Lackawanna County PA (Scranton), with 27% reporting she’s at 66.7%, Biden was at 53.7%.
Sorry. Both D.
