Do we really need to know much more to call it for Harris? Voters care more about Democracy and abortion than immigration.
Good evening to the politically addicted.
Reuters reporting Philadelphia vote total will surpass 2020 totals. Some precincts are as high as 150% of 2020 totals. -CC
best news ive heard all day
Do we really need to know much more to call it for Harris?
heart still scarred from a similar night in 2016
Perfect example why they’re losing. The whole campaign was only about men
Just because Miller hates women he thinks the attitude is universal.
Exit polls: 47% say Trump too extreme, 36% Harris
Bink, this one different.
yeah i’m more confident than i let on
razor-thin margins would not be ideal, however
i started breathing a little easier when that person went down in the polls after the alleged assassination attempt
all the cat stuff is derived from old JD comments, team trump so effing lazy to not vet him at all
Here’s the trigger for his thugs to disrupt counting centers
I wouldn’t put it past them to try swatting calls on the centers.
They know they can’t win, so the MAGAts have to cheat and use violence.
Watching for Ted Cruz to get kicked out.

Philly has jails and maybe a few bored cops who would enjoy the entertainment.

There was some young guy standing on the side of the road near where I voted today holding up a sign to remind us to “write-in” some candidate’s name for trustee. I almost rolled down my window when leaving and yelled, “Sorry, man…I forgot that guy’s name. So, I just wrote in my own name!” No werewolf today, Blue.
I saw a video that Melania was wearing her inside-sunglasses today. Did something make her eyes red and watery?
This time media and officials on top of his lies CNN: Trump wrote on his Truth Social network, “A lot of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia. Law enforcement coming!!!”
The Philadelphia Police Department immediately responded, telling CNN that they were unaware of what Trump was talking about on Truth Social claiming “massive cheating” and were not aware of any voting problems that would require law enforcement intervention.
Two Black precincts in Atlanta have extended voting to 10pm due to delays from bomb threats
Tonight – Indian food.
Dumbass wins WV and Jim Justice picks up Manchin’s seat. Imagine that. 🙄

Antifa? 😳🤣
Pennsylvania says they’ll post 50 percent of their mail in votes within the hour. That would be much faster than four years ago.
Pervy Mark Robinson lost!
well i didn’t think she’d win Florida but still very disappointing
I know it isn’t likely, but Texas looks good in blue with the early returns.
KAM is outperforming Biden in some key Dem strongholds — Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Charlotte, some Georgia suburbs
Her business model is holding up in early returns. Match or beat Biden turnout in cities and suburbs, hold steady in rural
Goodbye forever Mark Robinson. A slaughter.
Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) has processed 83% of its mail in over 222,000 ballots. Harris: 72.1% Trump: 26.6% That’s about 7 pts better than Biden
Equipment problems and some emailed bomb threats are keeping some precincts in Atlanta area open late.
Craig – I am now more embarrassed to say I live in Florida than I am to say that I am from Alabama.
She’s winning where she needs to, and losing by less where he’s ahead. That’s what we want.
DOJ put a statement that bogus bomb threats traced to Russian sources are being called into Black areas in battleground states
NBC News: Harris campaign is saying they are feeling very good about the turnout numbers, in particular: -High Puerto Rican turnout in Philly -High enthusiasm among college students including in WI, in PA at Lehigh, Lafayette, & Temple, in NC at Appalachian State, & in NV at UNR and UNLV
It may just come down to old women and young students!
As returns come in, gotta keep in mind what’s not in yet before drawing conclusions. GEORGIA — 52% of overall Georgia vote is in. But only 5% in Chatham County (Savannah) and 0% in Muscogee County (Columbus). Plus lots of votes still to be counted in Dem stronghold Atlanta/suburbs. Current vote spread will shrink. Also, she is outperforming Biden 2020 splits in urban areas of Georgia.
hm where the hell did i, i mean where did my friend put that paper bag?
Pass that bag. I’m gasping.
results in 2020 were all so staggeringly close nationwide, it’s unrealistic to expect resolution tonight
As I keep reminding me.🤔
Looks like bomb threats in Black polling places in several states is a strategy:
Why is AP calling races for one candidate when the other has more votes?
because projected outstanding returns can’t make up the margin
or that they will in the scenario you describe
Now Nevada has about 16000 votes to check because young people aren’t taught cursive.
I’m thinking my next move will be to Denmark, if they’ll have me.
This could be huge. With 40% of vote in, Harris is leading bellwether Erie County PA 59 to 40. That’s 10 pts better than Biden, who tied Trump there.
Dammit! Ted Cruz survived. Texans sure have a taste for sh/t.
Have a good rest of the night. See you all tomorrow
Lots of votes to count. Where it counts for 270 she is still matching or over performing Biden numbers.
BiD, Justice is no different than he was 4 years ago- grossly, morbidly obese and unlikely to survive his term. He’ll be 100% Repub voting – slightly worse than Manchin. This isn’t a surprise. He’s a coal baron fuhchrissake.
Poobah, PA? Where’s that paper bag?
Christmas is cancelled if Adolf wins. The economy will be shot to hell before January.
Utah went to Adolf. I guess Mormons are on board with a rapist.
The media really aided and abetted Adolf the whole way.
I hope I wake up to good news, but I’m not feeling hopeful. G’nite.
Utah went to Dumbass in ‘20. PA is where this rises and falls.
Neither GA or NC are must-wins if she wins the Blue Wall PA-MI-WI
We might not get an answer tonight. In 2020 Biden wasn’t declared until Saturday
Big picture: Given the counties reporting so far in WI, MI, PA, and AZ…and the counties (mostly urban areas/suburbs) lagging/still to report, Harris is in good shape to win those four swing states and finish with 281 EV. Losing GA + NC would be irrelevant. We might never get an answer from Nevada.
maybe ill go for the record for walks around the block in a single evening 🤔
Per ABC: Ga Sec of State saying T has won the state
Hope you’re right Poobah. 🤞
Purging voter rolls in red states, it’s a wonder it’s even close. That’s how Ted Cruz ~won~ his race. The MAGAts did their damnedest to shut us down. I can’t sleep.
It looks like we’re losing it all. It looks like our country is gone.

Pogo – Looking at a pic of Jim Justice, he doesn’t look like he’ll live out his term. He probably can’t do any more damage than Manchin.
Nate Silver Updates Odds to Slightly Favor Kamala Harris Winning the Presidency. Silver 9:05 pm ET update had Harris with a 53 percent chance of winning the Electoral College, up 3 percent from 8:45.
