Election Day Thread! Countdown to Midterms begins now!

[cobainwasmurdered]

Election day deserves its own separate thread from the 2020 election and senate/house threads.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-results-timing/ interactive to let you figure out when the polls will be closing and when to possibly expect results.

https://www.nytimes.com/news-event/2020-election (this seems to not be paywalled)

I'll try and add some good trackers tomorrow once things get going but if anyone has some recommendations you can say so.

OBVIOUSLY we will be having the traditional election chat. They're always a lot of fun. Well ok 2016 got pretty morbid. But other than that. If you aren't already a member of the slack chat or lost your account and want a new one than you can pm your email address (to any of the admins and we will invite you!)

Already up to 73% of total vote in 2016. Hopefully a good sign.

The president has had a consistant 40-44% approval rating for basically his entire presidency. We are in the middle of a pandemic that he screwed up royally. And according to predictions we're going to have at least 120% of the vote from 2016.

I feel like the media is really playing up this "tight race" thing for ratings. We aren't having a tight race. We aren't having the highest percentage of eligible voters turning out since 1900 to re-elect a president with a low 40s approval rating.

I also think the polling companies overcorrected assuming too many dummies will be turning out to vote. There's only so many.

 

[King Kamala]

I hope you fellas are right but I will still shut off my phone early evening tomorrow to prevent any bad juju. If they call it for Biden by 10 PM EST, hopefully one of my friends will ride down my ride Paul Revere style to announce it though.

 

[Hawk 34]

Voted. Took a total of 15 minutes from arriving to completion. This is not typically a location with low turnout this early, which is a very nice and happy indicator.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

These results have me extremely nervous. Looks like Trump is overperforming his polls again.

Not super good so far.

 

[Epic Springs]

I'm really worried. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[strummer]

Yup this isn't going well. Starting to feel nauseous tbh. I feel foolish for being even a tad optimistic

 

[909]

Everything is looking good except Florida.

 

[snuffbox]

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and will admit so. But I will have done myself the favor of less anxiety/depression/etc the last several weeks by being optimistic instead of getting all whacked up with doomsaying and theories. This might end up being another bad night. I hope not. But I'm glad I haven't made myself too miserable leading up to it.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Biden will win Ohio and your buttholes will become unclenched again, don't worry.

Trump is up 5% in Ohio at the moment according to the Associated Press

 

[Epic Springs]

So hard watching this unfold.
