2020 General Presidential Election Thread

[UVACoug]

Still a 3% chance of a tie, according to NYTimes, if Biden wins GA and Trump wins the remaining uncalled states.

Why are they waiting until tomorrow? Do we know?

We need time to print a bunch of more ballots and run them through the pitney-bowes machine.

[beefytee]

nytimes still has biden with a 64% probability of winning georgia. doesn't seem right.

We stopped updating these estimates at 6 a.m. Eastern time on Wed., Nov. 4.

They announced last night they would update on Thursday at that time. They are allowing for mail-in ballots to be collected and received all day today since they have a longer period of accepting votes mailed on or before Election Day.

Update: They changed their mind and said they'll announce today because of the "high interest." Not sure why they couldn't have planned on that to begin with.

Now North Carolina says it won't update its vote total until November 12th:

Completely ridiculous!

[BlueK]

So it's going to be a 270-268 result in favor of Biden?

Only if Trump wins the rest, but I think ultimately he only gets NC.

I'm glad Trump will be gone, but as I expressed earlier, I'm OK with the voting being close. I don't want the Dems to see this as some sort of referendum on all of the crazy (to me - I get it) proposals the various Dem candidates were talking up during the primary. I'd prefer they feel like they still need to engage the moderate middle if they want this win to last. Having the GOP keep the senate will be nice, assuming they do. I actually think the government is better off when different political parties hold the presidency and at least one portion of congress so that there are some checks.

But, like many, I can't tell you how excited I am to have Trump stop being the news. Or at least knowing that there is light at the end of this weird tunnel. Having him leave with 2020 almost feels fitting.

It really starts with all the liberal faculty brain washing the impressionable minds sent to them. SAD!

That's awesome. My rural county in California, for the first time since I have lived here and probably in forever voted Democrat for the big office on the ballot.
