Hour and a half line in suburban Philadelphia. Line was 10 minutes in 2012.

I switched to something not corporate sponsored.

edit: Besides, what else is on?

Alex Jones..

 

[Big Blue]

What time will we have an indication of who the winner is?

The earliest polls close at 9 PM.

 

[Robdraggoo]

I didn't even think Ohio was in play for Clinton. Eating crow while being pleasantly surprised

When wrestling is good

Which is only like 5 percent of the time

it is incredible.

Seems worth it IMO. I'd watch it, but I've cut the cord.

 

[NotLiquid]

What time will we have an indication of who the winner is?

10 hours from now-ish I think?

 

[peaceiscloser]

I did my part GAF! Let's see if Utah goes BLUE this year.

What time will we have an indication of who the winner is?

I think Obama in 2012 was called around 11:40 EST.

What time will we have an indication of who the winner is?

News likes to project winners in individual states within 30 min to an hour if the lead is large enough. We might get a winner by midnight to 1AM.

 

[malfcn]

Wife and I early voted.

Why don't more people vote early?

 

[Zabka]

Lots of old folks at my polling place in nyc being straight up racist in front of very patient minority poll workers. A bunch of them talking about voting twice in because they"deserve it". Never seen anything like it in my life.

 

[gutter_trash]

What did Team Alucard do? I missed something, I sensed a disturbance within the Trump-sphere.

turned face

 

[brokenbeans]

Thanks guys I'm in the UK so I'm looking forward to watching the drama before work.

Disgusting

 

[jrush64]

Obama in 2012 I was in school in London and I missed classes the next day cus I stayed up to watch Colbert and Stewart and browse GAF. Good times.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

What time will we have an indication of who the winner is?

11 PM EST at the earliest.

 

[LiK]

Why don't more people vote early?

My local city hall closes at 4:30 and I gert out of work at 4. My bus doesn't show up until 4:10. I can never get to it in time.

 

[Pamplemousse]

What time will we have an indication of who the winner is?

I think it'll be called at 11.

Honestly, I think she's going to perform better than most of her polling. PoliGAF has been saying a lot of that for awhile, and this looks promising.

 

[Z3M0G]

Holy fuck I can't stop laughing at this

 

[Sephiroth503]

I'm only an outsider looking in, but have followed GAF's journey on this election cycle with great interest. At times it was like a pantomime with Heroes and Villains.

Alucard's face turn has made this thread incredible and we haven't even reached results yet.

Female vote was also up massively, and they swing Clinton.

Could actually see a huge upset there, though it's likely the last time Ohio goes Democrat.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

Pennsylvania
2016 Early Vote: 199,167 early votes, 3.5 percent of total votes cast in 2012
Clinton 85,367 early votes, 2.8 percent of Obama’s 2012 total vote total
Trump: 99,286 early votes, 3.7 percent of Romney’s 2012 total vote total
2012: Obama won, 52.0 percent to 46.8 percent

I thought Penn didn't have early voting. Is this absentee ballot estimates?

 

[Toxi]

Some states don't have early voting.

 

[Akuun]

And you know what? I have a feeling that Trump will make a concession speech and will admit defeat graciously today. Tomorrow though he will start putting the wheels in motion to capitalise on all these people he has besides him.

That would be the big, smart businessman thing to do.

We know that Trump is neither big nor smart.

 

[AColdDay]

Live footage of Alucard with Trump and Pence (Killary/Kaine looking on in approval):

 

[GregLombardi]

Wouldn't early vote %'s vs. early vote %'s be a more relevant number rather than vs. total vote?

 

[Grief.exe]

I thought Penn didn't have early voting. Is this absentee ballot estimates?

Yes, excuse absentee.

Wouldn't early vote %'s vs. early vote %'s be a more relevant number rather than vs. total vote?

Agreed.

Jesus. So fucked up.

But people are so emboldened to show their true colors now.

 

[akileese]

What time will we have an indication of who the winner is?

Can't really answer that. I think East Coast polling starts closing at 8PM local time (so 7 central for me). Florida, NC, and New Hampshire I think all close at 8 so we could legitimately have a good idea of how this election is going to go by 9pm Eastern time.

 

[allenpergallon]

My ballot:


In the end I couldn't pull the trigger on Trump. While he's someone who I really wanted to vote for on an emotional level, you have to realize that he simply isn't a true believer, just another GOP snake oil salesman, only more bombastic and less intelligent. I am glad he ran, and I hope his movement continues to grow and eventually pushes the Grover Norquist chamber of commerce types out of the party. This time it was free trade, in four years it might be regressive taxation, or lax financial regulation, or labor rights. When the day comes that the base fully awakens and forces the party to move beyond trickle down and hostility to labor, I’ll be ready to support them, but until then I’ll continue to begrudgingly vote for Democrats.

(And yes, I totally broke state law by taking this photo)

Wow. The biggest October surprise this whole election season. Well fuggin done.

 

[Einchy]

I can't believe Gaf always pointing out the crazy shit Team Alucard said actually changed his mind.

 

[Zackat]

Team Alucard with the face turn, man. Good stuff.

he put the work on all of us.

 

[Bronx-Man]

 

[Bluth54]

Come on Iowa don't fuck this up

Don't worry I absentee voted for Clinton a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Toxi]

I can't believe Gaf always pointing out the crazy shit Team Alucard said actually changed his mind.

That or Team Alucard was trolling us.

 

[Squirrel Killer]

Why don't more people vote early?

I was in and out in 6 minutes and 13 seconds.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Just voted. Luckily I only had to wait 15 minutes b/c I decided to work from home today and the polling place is literally a minute walk from my condo so I just went after 10am figuring the long lines would be gone. This Spanish woman pumped her arms triumphantly after casting her ballot; was amazing lol.

 

[BiggNife]

So if Diablos voted third party and Alucard voted Hillary, there are no Trump supporters left on GAF?

There are plenty of trump supporters that just make drive by posts to say everyone on GAF is wrong and trump will win but most of them don't stay long enough to actually argue or explain anything.

 

[Einchy]

That or Team Alucard was trolling us.

True, you can't really know anymore.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

What time will we have an indication of who the winner is?

Not soon enough.

 

[edible_candle]

It gets better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WX58CZwyiU

Hell yeah

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Alucard...

Incredible.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

What time will we have an indication of who the winner is?

Depends how close it is, but I'm guessing that we'll know by 10PM CST (9 EST), or at least have a good feeling about how its leaning.

 

[adj_noun]

Some states don't have early voting.

Which is nuts. Why the heck wouldn't you offer early voting?

 

[Laevateinn]

That's not how time zones work.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Standing in line to vote for a candidate I hate and voted against for obama.

Thanks trump.

 

[DeviantBoi]

What time will we have an indication of who the winner is?

Hillary only needs to take one of those battleground states to win it.

If Florida goes blue, then she has it in the bag.

But no network will call her the winner until the polls close in California.

 

[GhaleonEB]

There's no way there will be that many for the first term. If the next president serves one term they will have the current vacancy and most likely one more to fill. 2 would be pretty surprising.

She'll do one right away, and Ginsberg is probably next. I'm guessing she appoints 3.
