Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Adramalech]

I'm not even american and I've been on edge the whole day. This period of uncertainty until a winner is declared is going to hurt.

on a good note, its my daughters first vote!
She's actually traveling 45 minutes to vote then drive back.

[Skulltaker]

That’s why I’m not breathing a sigh of relief until Biden’s victory is officially announced, no matter how good the early polls might have looked.

You and every sane person on this globe.

Probably she and he thinks that since they already had it they are now immune and of course being the type of people they are only think about themselves and have no concept of leading by example.

Imagine being the kind of person that thinks that just because you're immune to a virus you can't spread it. Surely this proves that she's anti-science bigot that's totally going to die from COVID-19.

Cheers! They grow up fast, don't they?

I don't know if she believes that. I believe she was told to do this.

McEnemy predicts Trump landslide.

Because rallies.

Also because she's paid to.

[Antiganon]

Can states count mail in ballots now?

Or they have to wait for voting closed.

Some states. CT was starting at 10am, according to my mom (who has been a poll worker for decades, including right now).

[Gaidax]

I'd prep a bowl of popcorn, but I don't expect any sort of telling results until next morning anyway.

Probably better prep that bowl for the shitstorm that will happen day after.

Trump went on Fox to do a final push for his campaign.

And attacked Fox while doing the interview.

And was 45 minutes late.

And sounds like total shit, like he's absolutely exhausted and drained.

Thoughts and prayers.

Almost a pity the election cycle is over and he didn't have a few more weeks to continue running himself ragged.

I don't know, almost all states either start counting early/mail-in/absentee ballots prior to election day or start counting them election day before polls close. So if anything, with so many ballots already cast, I would think the results would come in sooner than we typically see.

Might be so. My understanding that a few key states don't allow that, but if there will be concrete results before next morning then all the better.

PA, MI, and WI all started counting today I believe. MI could start counting yesterday in the cities only.

Despite everything, Trump is human. So his body follows the same principles all other human bodies follow. Which means the biggest shock will come once the stress is over. Right now his body pushes him with adrenaline. Wait until all of this is over. See how ragged he looks then.

Is there some form of neutral site one can follow? Or is it to early for results to flow in?

Too early. You will start seeing results from the eastern board states around 8:30 pm EST.

Polls don't start closing until hours from now, so all you will get at this point is exit polling and speculation.

I mean, most of the big news outlets are going to be covering the news just fine - ABC, NBC, WashPo, NYT, BBC, Al Jazeera etc.

But if you're looking for "neutral" media - Reuters and AP are good, the latter of which is usually the bellweather for calling an election IIRC. Gonna be at least 12 hours before anything really starts happening, and we probably won't have a "call" until tomorrow or later.

Thank you both. I'll probably learn tomorrow morning, then.
