US Election Week 2020

Looks like Biden is likely to win AZ

Milwaukee county results might not be known til 5 am apparently.

[Admiral Yi]

Well shit.  This is not going at all like I had hoped.  Going to bed.

[The Larch]

Am I getting this right, Ohio went from surprisingly good for Biden to being surprisingly bad?

He was doing very well at first, yeah, but Trump ended up overtaking him, same pattern as in other states (maybe because of mail-in and early votes, compared to election day votes). It could still change, though, apparently Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinatti have not yet finished reporting their votes, and Biden is doing well there.

[katmai]

Guys it was wishful thinking that this was going to be resolved tonight.

[The Larch]

Missouri called for Trump.

[FunkMonk]

Yeah, because of the different methods of voting being counted at different times in every county and every state it is a mess trying to parse things out.

So, what were some people saying about the Latino vote?  Seems they prefered Hillary to Biden, or they really liked Trump's policies, in FLorida, at least.

I thought it was just the same pattern repeating itself like in NC and Ohio. Mail-in votes are counted first, giving Biden a comfy lead which is then swamped by ED votes but 73% of the total vote has been counted and Biden is crushing it.  Almost 9 points ahead.

Florida is mostly Cubans, and they heard "socialist" and went "Fuck the Democrats!"

No one should be surprised by that.

Well, it's way later than I wanted to stay up, and given that no bombshells or big revelations are in sight I'm going to call it quits. Let's see what kind of smouldering ruins I find in the morning... 

[DGuller]

I'm calling it a night as well.  What a shitty night that was, hopefully morning will be better.

It reminds me of 2018 - GOP vote holding very solid in rural counties, but doing very badly (and generally worse in suburbs and urban areas) which will come out as the votes are counted over the next few days especially given the number of mail and early votes.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking too.

Your Russian bleakness is bleeding through DG. Michigan Secretary of State is saying first reports are all in person voting not mail in votes...
