I know there are places like it in the UK, particularly with the Labour vote, but I find it hard to conceive of some of these counties where 80+% vote for one candidate, when it is still thousands of people.
I can't stand Trump. But if he pulls off another POTUS win against the odds it's an amazing electoral performance. Getting and winning the votes where they count.
In Ohio: Dems 2.14-2.18.
As Ohio goes so goes .... my bank balance!
I don't know why CNN and others aren't analysing the fuck out of Ohio.
Right now, it's absolutely where the race is at.
Absolutely.
I think it is because they don't dare look, they are getting very twitchy.

It's really annoying that NYT picked 3 southern states for their needles. They should have picked one from the Midwest
Fecked it in the Atlantic Southern states. Pointlessly close in Texas and probably Ohio. Can only win if the Democrats win cases about Pennsylvania / Wisconsin before the current Supreme Court, LOL. Goose is cooked.

I'd forgotten how bad CNN can be, wittering on about Bidens 'almost there' in NC and very competitive in GA when hes on his way to losing both! And not looking at Ohio
I may be the only PBer following the election while watching a playlist of women singing Christmas songs on Youtube. 51 days to Christmas, assuming Boris does not postpone it as part of Tier 6.

That's what I am finding extremely misleading.
I've lost patience with them now and have switched to Fox.
Stepping back a little, it does absolutely beggar belief that Americans might be close to giving Trump a second term...
I understand, though do not share, why many of them may like him, but given it was so close in several states last time, I will be surprised if he manages to hold on to everyone he needs in every state he needs. But it's looking like a nail biter.
He's winning both of those, NC will be very close but stay red. If nothing else at least my projections still right,,,,until Trump holds AZ or wins PA ofc
Trump campaign officials are keeping an eye on R.N.C. data that suggests that Biden might be under-performing in urban areas in Minnesota, a state Trump hopes to flip.
Time to play 'favourite county name thus far'? Throckmorton is a good one. Not so keen on the counties with two names in them like Jim Hogg and Jim Wells. Feels weird not to use someone's surname only.
Biden is likely to end up with the highest vote total ever for a US Presidential nominee, and to extend his lead over Trump meaningfully, but may lose the race by a small margin.

Nothing to do with all those riots, no sireee.....

I've just cashed out my £10 spread bet on Biden at 285 ECVs at -£10 loss. So I'm out of this election with an insignificant loss. Now just hoping for my preferred candidate to win. Biden for me. I think it's a toss up.
Biden not having a good night, but green shoots of better performances in white suburb and rural areas. If so the could overperform in the Midwest and win the same way you'd have guessed 8 months ago before all the campaign excitement. Or it could just be a meltdown and he loses everywhere.

I think it will be close but I'd be amazed if Ohio flipped. Even if it does Biden's not home. As for Texas I'm thinking Biden will lose by around only 3% or so. So some effort but again more evidence of why the national vote may not be far out, racking up votes and just missing out.
Comments
Would be good for my 7/1 on Virginia though
NH?
4 electoral votes could come in very handy at the end of the night
The Dems are apparently still confident.
All of Joe's "maybes" have been "not to bes" so far.
The real shocker so far is Fairfax - less than 5% lead to Biden with 18% of the votes counted.
Trump is over 300K votes ahead with 38% of the vote in
Another brick in the (red rustbelt) wall....?

I often wonder how condescending some of the Dem stuff comes across to them.
Charlotte & Rayleigh & Greensboro are all massive Dem strongholds and make up a big chunk of the population of the state.
NYT says they are all 75-85% reported. If they are actually 70% reported, then Biden has a good shot in NC. But if not...
I think @Casino_Royale has this right.

However, it also needs him to not lose NH and MN.....
British elections are nice, clean and quick.
It irritates me nonetheless though.
Wisconsin Biden 72% Trump 25% with 0% in
Pennsylvania Biden 64% Trump 35% 16% in
Edit to add: Just watched Pres. Bartlett's reelection. The moment where CJ and Leo tell him that hes going to win NH! Classic.
Colorado called for the Dems already btw
If Biden flips Ohio then he's likely to win with 300+ ECVs
Ohio is beyond critical. It is the Presidency.

Can't say I fully understand why.
