Yup, Biden needed some decisive flips in NC, FL, PA, MI, WI, and OH.

FL is basically called for Trump, and both MI and WI don't look good. While Biden is up a few in NC, it's nowhere near a blowout.

Not an expert by any means, but CNN says potential Democratic votes still haven't come in in Detroit, Atlanta, and the suburbs of Washington DC in Virginia.

Not quite right - to end this thing quick, Biden needed decisive wins in NC, FL, OH, GA, or TX. FL isn't happening. The rest are nail-biters.

WI/MI/PA aren't in yet. MI is reporting nothing but election day vote (republican heavy), but mail-in vote (heavily democratic) is still out and will be for most of the week.

OH being close bodes well for PA - Ohio is basically Pennsylvania with +6% Republicans. Ohio being close probably means that WI/MI/PA are probably good.

And we don't know about Arizona yet, with an outside chance of Nevada flipping weird. We only really know that Southeastern Latinos/Hispanics got Trumpy in a hurry.

Far as I'm concerned, GA and TX were wishful thinking. I did my part in NC, but I'm running out of hope nonetheless.

Yeah the risk right now (one way or the other) is there being enough uncertainty on the mail-in votes that Trump declares victory sometime tonight and kicks off stupid games for the next few weeks.

Neither, it’s weird I’m just acting detached and treating it like it was election results in Canada or Korea, just with lots of data to look at. This is probably just a weirdo coping mechanism. That said Nexium is pretty good at eliminating any and all heartburn.

If I was conspiratorial, I’d blame the media for trying to milk it to avoid a 2012 early end repeat and keep pumping out content for: is America headed to civil war or some nonsense?

But that would also mean my brains would be mush.

This. I just got home from work and turned on the news... for about three minutes, decided the stroke wasn't worth it, and turned it back off again.

I'm going to bed knowing I did my part in NC, and I have better things to do with my time than pray at the altar of the cable news gods.

Unfortunately a chunk (I don't know about majority, but still a decent chuck) is fine with fascism because they get to hold the boot on the neck of the oppressed. This country is hosed.

They helped Trump win. If you don’t think the images of Portland (especially with all the dumbassery they love to wave around) didn’t scare a ton of idiots, well we’ll have to agree to disagree.

Just got back from 12 hours as a poll watcher. The precinct was slow and rural. We had a little under 300 votes today, and I would bet a lot of money that maybe five people voted for Biden.

Also nobody wore masks, so I'm probably gonna get Covid...
The good news is, at least in Colorado, the system works. Every person that came in to vote was able to cast a ballot, minus one dude who thought he could vote even though he wasn't a resident here, or registered for that matter.
