People are bitching about polling but what is particularly off at this point? The only one I am particular mad about is Gideon since that will probably gently caress the Senate dream.

The polls seem to have been off in Trump's favor pretty consistently by about 3% or so. We'll have a better picture when the vote counts are finalized if that holds true.

I think that people were hoping we could go to bed restfully and that we'd see a massive repudiation of Trumpism and now are feeling very morose and angsty even though this was the likely outcome all along.

Biden's deputy campaign manager. Doesn't mean much but they are still confident at least.

Has anyone else other than Fox called AZ?
I looked at Bloomberg's data and AZ is basically the Sun, Jupiter, plus debris. There would need to be a pretty abrupt and heavy pro-trump skew in the outstanding proportions -- we're talking like that reported one in PA with early voting. Biden's lead may significantly narrow but it is over 7 percent.

Yeah, the polling forecast final votes, and may not be too far off in most cases. The roller-coaster has come from the way the votes were counted.

That's why election night is fun.

Its understandable to be real sad that this could have been over before dinner only for it to drag on and on and the very things that could have ended it decisively like wins in the Old South and Texas being ground to a fine powder agonizingly slowly, leaving our hopes to rest on the things that betrayed us last time.

I was bernie-or-bust in 2016. I camped out for the DNC. I was at Standing Rock on election day. I remember climbing Facebook Hill to get updates late that night, taking a turn on the exercize bike that would charge someone's cell phone so we could get a trickle of signal. I was woken up the next morning in my tent by a Yakima woman, announcing that Trump was the victor.

This reads like like a write up for a coat in the 2020 J. Peterman catalog.

As is NC. It's not the resounding, definitive victory that was hoped for, but it's also not 2016 grasping at straws. Biden still has an excellent chance of pulling this off.

It's going to come down to outstanding mailed ballots, which will continue to trickle in for a few days. And then likely some recounts. It's a long shot but not impossible.

Hmm. In Maine the senate seats are determined by town municipalities. I'm seeing a bunch of the liberal coast not yet accounted for, and Portland's numbers seem much too low to be complete. Combine that with the RCV runoff (Most Indies put Gideon second) and we might have a chance still.

More good news from AZ, we're ahead in the effort to keep and MAAAAYBE expand our House Delegation majority to 5-4 or 6-3. Both our uncalled races favor the D by 11-20k votes. And on top of legalizing weed, we're at 54% yes on a tax increase to boost school funding.

Iirc MN/MI/WI/AZ/NH/NE2 is a Biden win.

All of those have now been called for Biden except MI and WI, and their polls tracked MN's closely

I'm an AZ resident! I feel like we did our part, so hopefully the rest of the nation can pull through. Plus, I really hope that Mark Kelly gets the senate seat. He's been running some really positive, inspirational ads, which are the only ads this season that I actually enjoy seeing.
