US Election Week 2020

[The Larch]

New York called for Biden, Louisiana called for Trump.

How do states get called when zero votes are counted?

Exit polls + voter turnout + conventional wisdom.

[Barrister]

How do states get called when zero votes are counted?

Exit polling.  If it's just so overwhelming they just call it right off the bat.

[DGuller]

How do states get called when zero votes are counted?

Exit polling.  Calling a state is a statistical thing, it's not like you call a state only when the margin exceeds the votes yet to count.

[Solmyr]

Conventional wisdom means jack shit in these times.

How do you keep 538 updating automatically?  I think caching in Google Chrome is really playing havoc with it.

[Maladict]

Odds are now even, unless Biden takes Ohio. That would be an autowin.

[DGuller]

The constant ads on NBC for a six-part podcast on Kamal Harris sound a little premature now, don't they?

[DGuller]

Am I transitioning to the next stage of grief, or does it sound like the mood is shifting a little towards Biden?

[Liep]

Odds are now even, unless Biden takes Ohio. That would be an autowin.

Odds here now have Trump as clear favorite at 1,40.

[The Larch]

Colorado called for Biden.

Regardless of how this ends, it's still tragic that it's even remotely this close.  It's still clearly dark times for democracy.

Trumpism isn't going aaway and QAnon Republicanism is going to go big. We'll get a four year respite before the deluge.

I think even if Biden loses Ohio, it's obviously much closer than in 2016.

Assuming that correlates with other midwestern states, a shift of just a couple of points wins MI, WI and PA.

That's enough to win even if Trump wins all the other swing states.

[Eddie Teach]

The constant ads on NBC for a six-part podcast on Kamal Harris sound a little premature now, don't they?

She would be the presumptive front runner in '24.

Tim, for god sake lay of The Taint, you've done enough with that post to near guarantee a Trump win.
