I'm so nervous about this election that just reading about New York going red made my heart skip a beat despite me knowing that that's bullshit.
I just can't deal with even the fantasy of these things coming true. Feels like this election is literally killing me.

CNN. It should be fun to watch the Trump surrogates cry when he (hopefully) loses.

KEY RACE ALERT - I STEPPED IN SOME GUM

They're states that were always going to go to Trump. In the US, voting for president happens based on the popular vote of each state, with states that are more populous getting more electoral votes. The one who gets at least 270 electoral votes wins. Because of this system, any state that goes exactly as one would expect is pretty much not changing anything, because the actual percentage of voters doesn't matter beyond who gets the plurality in a given state. What matters is who wins certain key states that have a chance of going either way

It was a giant nothing burger. His friend doesn't understand how uncontested elections work.

Polls close at 9EST so don't worry for NY. Also NY is solid Blue. NeoGAF is shitposting mode right now.
Because a key race alert at every .5 increment would have been ridiculous.

You better get ready for about 10000 more Key Race Alerts.
Because CNN will do anything for ratings.

I didn't. That's why I had to ask lol. I jumped in the thread and didn't realize y'all were being sarcastic. I had to rub my eyes. I trusted you GAF.
More votes come in.

He had 78% of what was reported. Then more was reported and more of that was for Clinton.
Calm down. The sarcastic responses were never funny to begin with and just clog up the thread. People are at work so can't necessarily watch the news.

Low sample size + polling reported from more liberal areas = fluctuating percentages.

In Germany a live show started on 16:45 EST and it will go on until 01:00 EST.
And then there is a second show on another public station. So no commercials at least. ;-)
They interview former ambassadors, famous people in Germany and some Americans who live in Germany. And in between some documentary clips. But only little time is spent on analyzing the numbers. So very different to CNN, that I watch online.

Votes are still being counted for that state. Likely more "liberal" areas coming in.
It went up from 1%
Only 1 percent for the total vote of the state has been counted so far...
I'm being sarcastic and I'm not even from the US lmao
I know there's a lot at stake here, but getting worried about Trump taking states like New York just because some random guy on the internet said so is ridiculous.
Nightmare fuel.

Only 2% of the state has been counted. Some counties reporting will have more Clinton votes than the earliest ones, closing the gap.

I start drinking at 7. Either happy drunk or sad drunk.
Yep, the second the big battlegrounds come in, they'll declare Kentucky for Trump and you'll never hear about it again.
Mcmullin has no shot for the White House but he could win Utah at least.

Because they want their horse race so very badly.
OK, so here's a little bit of advice for folks watching Election returns for the first time.
* Votes are counted by precinct. Each precinct sends their entire count in when they are finished counting. This means that areas with a relatively small number of voters are always reported first. Sparsely-populated areas tend to go Republican.
No, it's because more precincts have reported, and this early in the night, they're reporting everything they get.

He is just hardcore committed to the long con.
