This is the part of the exit poll where they tell us who voted, but not how they voted?
Basically yes, it seems like the first 6hrs of coverage is dominated by this stuff. And its often really hard to tell too much, last time questions that were positive for what you would think for Trump, didn't translate to actual votes for him.
CNN Exit could be key if they give overall gender split.
If past is anything to go by, they tease and tease and tease for hours. There are some useful pointers in there, but for several hours they just show answers to questions that are hard to really tell too much from.

@DylanByers Nevada’s secretary of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says one of the biggest issues is that the signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses:
“It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.”

We do… Postal votes… Gulp.
Does anyone really sign anything anymore? Never actually thought about it now. But, yeah, it’s kinda antiquated when you think about it.
A lot of official documents/applications still require signature. I suspect that will get less and less common as they move to digital signature (which relies more on authentication rather than the form or style of a written autograph signature).

Good job I don't use postal ballots then. However, I bet we are less strict
Does anyone anywhere for anything actually check your signature here? As long as one doesn’t sketch a crudely drawn cock and balls, one’s autograph is usually nodded through.

Isn’t that the one they basically use when the polls have closed in each state to “call” it? Presumably they can’t release voting figures before close of polls, but they can release all this weird random crap about one-eyed Nevadan’s views of water fluoridation…

Yes, the Democrats missed emphasising an obvious rhetorical and factual point here. Dobbs sent the issue back to legislatures - which includes the Federal legislature. Not “the states”.
One more time: The Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade doesn't just send the issue back to "the states." It also sends abortion to Congress to override the states if it chooses — either by codifying legal abortion nationwide or by restricting or banning it nationwide. https://x.com/sahilkapur/status/1853854255238586518
Does it?
Doesn't the Tenth Amendment mean its sent back to the states and not federal government if there's no federal grounds for legislation?
Federal national laws typically happen under the terms of interstate commerce but not sure that works for abortion.
There’s a long history of stretching interstate commerce to cover everything.
A major concern is the various attempts, in anti-abortion states, to use lawfare against abortion in *other* states. In the past, such attempts at extending state power have been slapped down - many are worried what this court will do.
Point is, that both the states and the federal government have jurisdiction - and nothing in Dobbs says it “returns to the states”.
And the Supreme Court would get to decide where the future balance lies between the two jurisdictions, when the inevitable clashes occurred.
The tenth says that the states have jurisdiction. If the federal government tried to codify nationwide abortion, then the current SCOTUS would undoubtedly strike it down.
No, it doesn’t. It talks about powers reserved to the states. What those are has been a matter of debate ever since.
What the current SC might do in the future is a matter of conjecture. It might also say the the FDA doesn’t have jurisdiction over the states.
But Dobbs has nothing to say about where the balance of jurisdiction lies on the issue, between state and federal legislature.

With the caveat that *if* Florida shows either a very large (i.e. more than nytimes) Trump victory, or a very narrow one that should influence us.
Hasn't FL been trending Rep for some years? So needs the baseline setting for that?
Some Republican supporters are nervous that it’s trending to them because so many Republicans have moved there, but they need the votes in other states more.

While waiting for real results I thought I would look up the 'star poll' for the US territory of Guam. Which has finished voting and the results are up.
It does not count for any EC votes, so is irrelevant in most respects, it is held on the same day as local elections so has a reasonable turnout.
Harris: 13,510 Trump 12,624 RFK: 938
Trump is up, 1,066 compared to 2020, and Harris is down 1,100 compared to Biden. Which I think is about a 5% swing.
But the more interesting thing to me is that RFK got more votes than the difference between Trump and Haris. because this vote has no EC votes attached, nobody really cares, but could there be states where RFK has not been able to take his name of the ballot where he gets more votes than the difference between the 2? I don’t know and there is definitely no way to say all or even most of those votes would have gone to trump if RFKs name was not on the ballot, but could this swing some states?

The Guardian probably collared four people and interrogated them at length. I’d be telling them what they didn’t want to hear too.
Years and years ago, I read that one of the ways forgers were detected was that the signatures they made were too consistent. (I assumed that was because they usually only had one real signature to copy.)

“It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.”
I would be screwed if we had this procedure as my "signature" is different every single time
We do… Postal votes… Gulp.
Does anyone really sign anything anymore? Never actually thought about it now. But, yeah, it’s kinda antiquated when you think about it.
Rarely. Even contracts/agreements at work are rarely wet signatures. Either a PNG of my signature (nice and secure that!) or it's docusign or more generally pukka digital signing.
Had to sign some mortgage forms recently. Struggling to think of anything else though.
Yes at work it is only local authorities and other public sector organisations that seem to have to sign in wet ink and seal, rather than on DocuSign.
When I was around 11 or 12, the local sub postmaster noted that my signature was missing its middle initial as per the name on the passbook and insisted I added it for the new passbook.
So as not to totally remodel my signature, I added the merest hint of a loop between my first initial and surname and it has been there ever since and survives even for the minimal finger on touchpad signatures.
Democrats have been fearful of losing the vote of Michigan’s large Arab American and Muslim American communities over the Biden-Harris administration’s response to Israel’s war on Gaza, and at a polling station in Dearborn there was some evidence that they were right to be concerned.
Although it was a small sample size, none of the Arab American voters the Guardian spoke to had voted for Harris

No sympathy if they get Trump.
Him and Bibi. I cannot see that being a better bet for them.

It will be an in-depth study of how one legged Indian second generation immigrants who work in the *Agriculture Support Sector* think about tariff policy.
Without making that clear, the data is totally useless and potentially misleading.

It talks about powers reserved to the states. What those are has been a matter of debate ever since.
What the current SC might do in the future is a matter of conjecture. It might also say the the FDA doesn’t have jurisdiction over the states.
But Dobbs has nothing to say about where the balance of jurisdiction lies on the issue, between state and federal legislature.

For 2024:
- I see no indication from the Benjamin Franklin Elementary School election for 2024, which is understandable in the febrile atmosphere, but sad.
- Lichtman opts for Harris

- The cup index goes Harris

- I thought I read of the Chinese psychic monkey going Trump, though a larger sample of psychic rhesus monkeys went Harris

It all points to Harris!!
A usually reliable source tells me that the North Korean soldiers who have deployed to Russia have never had unfettered access to the internet before. As a result, they are gorging on pornography.

Not much added in key states.
Which is a relief.

Bring on quantum encrypted personal seals.

People sometimes change their registration to enable them to vote in closed primaries.

"Please find attached letter for your attention."
It does not count for any EC votes, so is irrelevant in most respects, it is held on the same day as local elections so has a reasonable turnout.
Harris: 13,510
Trump 12,624
RFK: 938
Trump is up, 1,066 compared to 2020, and Harris is down 1,100 compared to Biden. Which I think is about a 5% swing.
But the more interesting thing to me is that RFK got more votes than the difference between Trump and Haris. because this vote has no EC votes attached, nobody really cares, but could there be states where RFK has not been able to take his name of the ballot where he gets more votes than the difference between the 2? I don’t know and there is definitely no way to say all or even most of those votes would have gone to trump if RFKs name was not on the ballot, but could this swing some states?
It's not a swing state any more.
