What other numbers can we expect to see tonight? Are important results still tickling in, or are have most states wrapped things up for the night?

Like, if Hispanic people keep saying "we're not automatically in favor of more people from [completely different country]" it was maybe wise to listen to them sooner.

Remind me what primary candidate had the highest Latino support?

Presuming the polls weren't off by more than 10 in WI/MI and either ME2 or NE2 gets called tonight we could "know"

GA ain't called that's just the stupid as gently caress prediction needle. They only did needles for 4 states. It's a gimmick to all but the wonkiest of wonks.

what are you trying to say, then. what's your point here

"whoops, The Minorities are racist sometimes, let's give up all progressive policies because I guess we were wrong all along"

Don’t take it as a given that they’re pro immigration and try to convince them why they should be for it or give them other policy red meat.? I think Picks argument is that Dems going “of course they’ll vote for us, we’re pro immigration and they’re Hispanic” is really dumb.

None of them are called that’s a forecast. They only projected states that would have early votes tallied early.

I bet a Kemp goon made that happen somehow.

Ahh ok.

89% reporting with an 8 point margin looks like it should be called, tho. Do they have a lot of mail-ins and early votes to tab?

Atlanta's vote counters went home for the night, so I assume this means margins are shrinking more than anticipated in the places finishing their counts.

Yeah, that was expected. Lots of hype early on that it might turn, but it returned to form as all the votes came in.

MI/WI/PA will follow the same pattern in reverse.

The needle also accounts for votes from areas not yet counted/reported vs expected outcomes.

MORE INDISPUTABLE PROOF I AM BAD AT POSTING
---------------->
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.

It was a hell of an experience, but I was shielded from the hell ya'll experienced. The sudden crash of confidence and setting in of dread and fear.

None of the called states have broken in a way that is surprising, I still think this will break Biden - but I'm disappointed that the overwhelming domination I anticipated failed to materialize.

But I feel it. The PTSD from '16, I'm feeling it.
