NC went for Loser Donald in 2016, so Biden winning it would be a plus.

Very. If Biden wins it, he can lose PA and still win if he gets MI and WI

I didn’t feel like waiting for the rush, so started drinking early. It takes age and experience to be able to drink all day and still type. I started at 9 and will probably be good until about 11.

I went to the polls today and sat in the parking lot for a while. All seemed orderly, and the line was impressive for our little bedroom community. No guns, no signs or intimidation tactics that I could see.

NC starting to pink up on AP. GA too.

Might have something to do with 8¾ million voting early.

I have said repeatedly that Dems relying on Florida is a fool’s errand. Sadly I seem to be correct yet again. But that doesn’t mean catastrophe. There are still plenty of paths for Biden.

How can they project NC? I don’t see it - not yet anyway. I picked Biden to win NC and loss GA, but it’s possible that these two states get flipped. I’ve heard turnout is solid in GA. Not sure about NC

CNN, unsurprisingly, projects Vermont to Biden.

My takeaway is the Florida is primarily populated by Florida Men.

MSNBC is drilling down on early results in Ohio, and Biden is outperforming Hillary, substantially.

No count from the panhandlers so Not Trump will probably lose Florida.

I have to say I’m legitimately shocked that there have not been many confrontations at the polls reported. I was really expecting it. It kind of renews a bit of my hope and respect for America.

I think VA is projected for Biden but that’s not. Surprise. But it might be called earlier this time
