"See all that red? How could I lose? Something's going on, folks. People are saying..."

Always amazes me when the Right pulls that excuse. Like do they not realize cows can't vote? Snark aside, it isn't land area that decides an election.

 

[A Link to the Past]

That software is unproven and, likely, unreliable.

Oh, never I mind then.

 

[newshinycd]

So are we doing ok? Increased turnout has historically benefited Democrats, but 2016 has fucked a lot of my preconceptions in the ear.

Also, if Trump loses, what are the odds he goes on stage and delivers a victory speech anyway?

Seems like we are doing fine.

Spoiler

not really Grandma Wifi Crystals is winning

Also since Trump filed a lawsuit in NV, I'm not sure how he handles the concession speech.

 

[Captain Smoker]

What's the first state to close it's polls?

Indiana and Kentucky.

My Politibros, can someone plz provide link for Discord chat!

New to following the elections here in America. Will we know how the Senate race goes tonight as well?

That depends on how close NH is. Cause whether or not Ayotte holds onto her seat (she's the R) is going to swing it by the looks of it.

If that's razor thin we won't know until tomorrow or later.

Given the conversations I'm overhearing at Wendy's, I'm thinking we'll have a record number of write in candidates this election

 

[Boke1879]

We have live turnout numbers from some FL counties. 2 key ones:

Hillsborough

GOP doing better on election day, to be expected. But overall looks good IMO.

But more importantly, Broward:

GOP doing a lot better on election day. But hoping Dems catchup some more in evening.

Aren't Dems leading in that 2nd chart you posted?

 

[Diablos]

If there was a single iota of a chance of Rubio losing this was it.

Let's see if that bum Murphy can do it.

What was it?

Is Murphy really closing the gap?

Sign of how bad the GOTV effort is in Georgia: all my neighbors are Republican. None of them got GOTV visits or calls. Only 2 mail pieces.

If this does turn into an unexpected rout this is why. So damn lazy.

+4 For Hillary in MA.
Ballot Questions
1.No
2.No
3.Yes
4.Yes

I'm super nervous about ballot 420 passing. I believe in my fellow MA residents to legalize marijuana, but you can never be sure.

Ha, same ballot as me. I'd be surprised if question 4 didn't pass. It looks like it's been ahead in most of the polls -- https://ballotpedia.org/Massachusetts_Marijuana_Legalization,_Question_4_(2016)#Polls

Wouldn't it be a hoot if Hillary won Indiana

Oh yes, they are.

The thing is:

GOP voters have already erased Dems' 5% turnout edge from early vote. 69% of R's have now voted vs. 68% of D's as of 3pm

Basically as a % of registered voters more GOP has voted. I want more dems of course so Clinton can drive up that margin in Broward which is more Democratic than even Miami Dade.

 

[whyamihere]

‏@tbonier
Uh, wow. Obama won Orange County, FL by 18%. They are reporting 45k MORE ballots cast than all of '12, with over 3 hours of voting left.

ahhhhhh

Well, those look good! Especially if those "other" do lean Hillary, like expected.

Thank you guys on giving me hopium for question 4. The real hard one for me was question 2, but eventually decided against it.

We're gonna flip Missouri!

I don't think it's going to happen, but I'll just say that there were TONS of people my age out today and it made me really happy. Nothing like last election.

How is election day so far?

Votecastr seems dangerous. Unreliable information that comes off as legit.

They bring back the Chili, Chips and Cheese and I'd write in Dave Thomas too.

It may be hacked by the Russians. Give if Hillary supporters a false sense of security. Those genius kremlins

I'm at ease. Whatever happens is going to happen, but I'm not worried.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

ahhhhhh

Florida's gonna get called early for Hillary, isn't it?

 

[Barzul]

Votecastr isn't a thing for the avg voter. It's not going to bleed any Clinton votes.

 

[Iolo]

For who?

Dave Thomas.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

The one county in FL not looking good in terms of raw party votes is Pinellas.

This is a D-leaning county but GOP have banked more raw votes. Of course with NPAs breaking favorably, Hillary can still win the county.

Obama won this country by 25k votes in 2012.

Turnout also appears to be down vs. 2012 in Pinellas though.

ahhhhhh

Fuck yes, thanks to the PR vote here she's got Florida by much more than Obama did either time.

 

[Zereta]

That depends on how close NH is. Cause whether or not Ayotte holds onto her seat (she's the R) is going to swing it by the looks of it.

If that's razor thin we won't know until tomorrow or later.

Tomorrow or later, the later due to recounts?

I'm an international student studying at Boston University. I can't vote so I actually went down and canvassed for the Hillary campaign in NH. Of course, with the Dems, canvassing for the top of the ticket meant promoting all the way down the ticket too (Because that's exactly the right way to do things)

Glad to hear NH is competitive. Hope my contributions help a little
Can't wait to watch the results play out with roommates (while also refreshing PoliGAF) tonight

 

[Grexeno]

Voted in Fairfax County, Virginia.
+1 for Clinton/Kaine
+1 for Connolly (D) in District 11
Voted NO on Right to Work
Voted YES on Question 2
Voted YES on Meals Tax
Voted YES on Transportation Bonds
Voted YES on Parks and Park Facilities Bonds
Voted YES on Human Services and Community Development Bonds

Literally no line at 3:15. Couldn't believe it.

 

[perfectchaos007]

For who?

One black lady in front of me said she wrote in Michelle Obama and she sounded really proud of her vote

 

[samn]

*a much higher than negligible chance that the world will end

Anyway why would we need votecastr when we have cartoon_soldier to provide confusing and contextless county-level data.

 

[MoxManiac]

Arent the heavily democratic counties in fl the last to be called?
