Yeah, hate to be the doomer, but am about to go do some gaming.

There goes Texas to red...

I'm going to make some dinner. Chili beans sound nice.

[Sun]

Fuck this country. I just dont understand.

This is America's IQ test, and we are failing miserably. Biden should be winning by a landslide.

0.1% between them, 64% reporting. Way too early to call.

Gaming is definitely the right call though.

[Rozz]

Why is Virginia a Biden win with the disparity? Are most of the remaining counties heavily blue?

Within 0.1% and 73% counted. Could go either way.

[Mormolyce]

If he wins PA or OH, we will start hearing people call the entire election for him.

OH is at 64%, PA is at 14%, we need to give it time.

Richmond (huge population center) has barely counted any votes (10%), and a lot of this is based on a mixture of historical voting and polling/exit polling IIRC. A lot of the counties with higher count totals are low population so there's no much left there.

[Zeth Hawkins]

I think all states are going to be the same as 2016, with the exception of WI, MI, and PA... its 100% gonna come down to those three. I think OH and NC are pipe dreams.

Of those three states, WI is the only one I see being a real tossup.

[Mormolyce]

Within 0.1% and 73% counted. Could go either way.

The fact it's this close is insane. Texas is officially a swing state.

Texas last voted blue in a Presidential election in 1976...

[Fahrenheit]

Normally I would agree, but the late polls kept getting worse and worse for Trump there, MI and PA were both closer.

[Breccia]

OH is at 64%

Biden did manage to pick up a couple of counties that Clinton didn't, but it's not square miles that cast votes, it's the people who live on them.

Oh okay, thanks!

I've never been horribly optimistic about Biden's odds, but considering the state of affairs, I was hoping Trump would beat himself.

Alas, I'm starting to get the sinking feeling that this might either be one of those massively won the popular vote but lost the electoral college scenarios, or it's going to be so close that Republicans will be able to steal it via the SCOTUS.

[DingDongKing]

Ohio & NC should go red any minute.

Im fear that will be the case.. not sure if i like another 4 years of Dump and Pence.

Then again all empires will fall... *looks at the 3 emperor period of the Roman Empire... and its aftermath* ... or later: Fall of Constantinople in 13th century.. it gave the Laskaris and Paleogolis families the empire.. And those families and the empire itself were... extremely unstable.

UPDATE: So let's talk about Trump's chances in Philly.

They're Phucked.



Yep, that's a plane flying a "Trump loves Jerry Jones and the Cowboys" banner, right there.

"But Breccia! The Cowboys play in Dallas! I thought we were talking about Philadelphia!"

We are talking about Philly. That's where the plane is.

"But the Eagles and Cowboys are long-time sports rivals! Why would anyOOOOOOOH I get it."

Indeed. This is some massive trolling, and kudos to whoever spent what must be thousands upon thousands of dolalrs to do it.

"It's a shame we can't even talk about sports anymore without it getting political. What about a nice neutral team, like the Ari--"

Arizona Cardinals owner has COVID.

"I mean the Denver Bron--"

Broncos CEO has COVID.

"God dammit!"

So does John Elway.

"Mother fucker!"

Dallas QB moved to COVID list but that might just be the new injured reserve, not sure. Incidentally, not the QB that the Eagles sacked four times on Sunday.

Lmao, I saw that earlier today on Eagles Twitter (haven't been back home in over a year :C). F Dallas.

That’s almost a guarantee, if Trump wins, he’s going to do so while losing the popular vote.

Well according to the polls Biden was supposedly landsliding North Carolina. So don't get your hopes up.

He really wasn't. His final day polling lead was +1.9, which is well within the MOE.

It’s looking like polling was off...
