What would you say is the best TV Outlet to watch for election coverage? My go-to is CNN and they've been seeming to do a nice job so far.


Biden.

Also in general CNN is as close you’ll get to an even handed reporting...well compared to the other big two at least, which are more echo chamber...vs CNN at least.

My personal read on it is because the state is generally insane you never know what they're going to do. They're as likely to vote for a giraffe as they are to vote for any given politician.

Cool, good to know. I figured once I saw some of the followers like Jeff Stein and some Atlantic writers it wasn’t some goof site, but I wanted to be sure.

Also Jesus that Trafalgar guy might actually be right (guy who called 2016, but uses odd methods, and mostly won’t even discuss his methodology.

No, that's what the Trafalgar guy is saying and you shouldn't listen to it. Trafalgar is a *bad* pollster and they're looking for future money by biasing their results to Republicans. They were doing *constant* nonscientific poo poo with their samples.

The idea is to be "right" if Republicans end up winning, then get hired by all the Republicans to do polls. The idea isn't to be right.

This is also a good point. Betting on a result even with wrong reasons and trash logic is still a win if the bet winds up paying of.

I should point out it was more of this would be weird, but thinking things over after typing my answer points more to grifting then anything else.

It's absolutely incredible this isn't a blowout. That it's probably going to be close after this year is a huge win for conservatives, win or lose.

Yeah, we really needed a blowout, if only to mitigate slow counting in PA and MI.

Now we’re getting the worst outcome potentially (Besides straight Trump win) what I call the “everyone cleans out guns stores starting tomorrow, even more then before.”

Granted with ammo the way it is now, you might as well just clunk someone in the head with it, because you’re not getting ammo anytime soon.

Also that event at Black Lives Matter Plaza is properly going to sour and/or Barr is going to call out the waffen...er Bureau of Prison people to clean house.

I'm pretty sure someone on the backend keeps getting the tables confused and is putting the anticipated vote totals in one or the other's current vote box, or something stupid like that. I won't hold it against them because I'm poo poo at running web pages myself.

That said, even the whiskey I bought to soothe/celebrate tonight isn't doing poo poo. Tonight better not be a full dud :(.

e: and like clockwork, the whiskey just kicked in, drinking it all at once for effect works :woop:

Basically if Biden didn’t win very fast, it will be a longer, more drawn out thing after which one of the two will win just cause of vote count methods and timelines.

So no matter the results, might be a while.
