First election?This is driving me mental. What time can I check back in to find out the result?

Trump detractor though I am, I don’t think this is a helpful line of thinking. There’s clearly a problem if a sociopath like Trump is genuinely favoured to the alternative(s) by a significant portion of voters. It’s not just coincidence or luck that has put him in touching distance; it’s worthwhile attempting to understand why there’s perhaps a swing toward the republicans with Trump at the helm. It’s entirely unhelpful to label all his voters as ‘idiots’ — not that you have.Whatever the result it's so mad that America not only voted this guy but is now giving him another chance after the last 4 years
It in the blue bagOh wow CNN says that Ohio expects a lot more early votes, that so far only 29% of the counted votes are early votes. That is fecking great if true.
It was projected to go red for Trump so would be a huge moment for Biden to steel it from himIf Biden wins Ohio it's already over according to CNN? Thought he'd need to win any of NC and PA too?
It’s a bit mad but otherwise NY, TX, FL and CA would decide all the elections. This way it’s OH, PA, FL....American system is so mad. Electoral college is such bullshit
They have counted 99% of the early vote in NC. That's expected to skew toward the dems. Gonna be close.What happened?
Exactly.Texas even being close is a huge plus for Dems. It was a write off state until the last decade or so.
According to CNN, 97% of the estimated 66% votes reported in North Carolina right now is the early vote.What happened?
Yep, all the freaking out here is purely down to the shock of Miami-Dade. So sick of that county always hogging election night attention.Wider picture looking good for Biden after the early minor dissapointment of florida (Miami).

Most projections had Ohio as red. If it flips, that's a path for Biden that most predictions did not consider.
Cheers, thought it was a proper swingstate. Just heard that there hasn't been a Republican elected as President without carrying Ohio, so great news so far in that case.It was projected to go red for Trump so would be a huge moment for Biden to steel it from him
Basically a match day thread with politicsThis thread is so schizophrenic.
Early settlers really didn't have much of an imagination. New Amsterdam is one thing. But then the English take over and the best they can come up with is New York? Seriously. I hope that if we ever colonise other solar systems, we won't name the first Earth-like planet Earth 2.0 ffs.Man you learn so much during these county polls, never knew there is a Mecklenburg county in the USA.
The whole country really is a big copy of European areas.
PY be the main one.Why does he keep saying that Biden will win if he gets Ohio? I presume he's not chatting shit, so what other states is it implied he'll have taken from Trump?
I think the person who wins Ohio always ends up PresidentWhy does he keep saying that Biden will win if he gets Ohio? I presume he's not chatting shit, so what other states is it implied he'll have taken from Trump?
It's more that Trump's path to 270 is extremely narrow, Ohio makes it even more so, he'd need a clean sweep elsewhereWhy does he keep saying that Biden will win if he gets Ohio? I presume he's not chatting shit, so what other states is it implied he'll have taken from Trump?
I don't want it to be based on population necessarily or size but just seems a bit bonkers that in a place like florida 10 million people( almost 48-49 percent) vote for one candidate and yet that candidate gets nothing from that stateIt’s a bit mad but otherwise NY, TX, FL and CA would decide all the elections. This way it’s OH, PA, FL....
Wait.....
Trump won't give us any better of a deal, he'll just help the Tories sell it.Pretty much every British person I speak to says Trumps a loon and they hope he loses.
BUT, 'experts' say Biden less likely to give UK a decent trade deal. With Brexit and Covid, our economy really needs some good news/a decent trade deal.
Trump/good deal Vs no Trump/bad deal?

If Biden wins Ohio then he can even lose PA and still win the election. It’s actually a very hard election for Biden to lose, the polls would have had to be wildly off, far more than 2016 for him to lose.Why does he keep saying that Biden will win if he gets Ohio? I presume he's not chatting shit, so what other states is it implied he'll have taken from Trump?

If Biden flips Ohio he can afford to lose Pennsylvania. But he'd still have to win Wisconsin and Michigan.Why does he keep saying that Biden will win if he gets Ohio? I presume he's not chatting shit, so what other states is it implied he'll have taken from Trump?
you can get a ton of places on this map by inputting random british and a few european citiesMan you learn so much during these county polls, never knew there is a Mecklenburg county in the USA.

Trump is terrible for the entire world. And If Trump won Boris is more likely to go for a not deal brexit apparently.Pretty much every British person I speak to says Trumps a loon and they hope he loses.

It's hard to see Biden winning Ohio but not winning Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Not impossible but unlikely.Why does he keep saying that Biden will win if he gets Ohio? I presume he's not chatting shit, so what other states is it implied he'll have taken from Trump?
Would more than cancel out Florida in terms of Electoral VotesBiden taking both Ohio and NC would be freakin huge.
