I saw on CNN that 90m have already voted. Which party's voters are more motivated to vote early and why?

I simply cannot predict where the American public will go in this election.

The only thing is that a lot of us were saying that four years ago as well. He was always a candidate that shouldn't be able to win (in a relatively normal society and system), but here we are. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins again. Fingers crossed though.
 
We all said this 4 years ago and about Brexit as well, yet here we are.

Thank you.

Wow, that looks very very encouraging for Biden!

Was getting bit confused, as when I spoke with my New York based cousin yesterday, he was thinking it was inevitable that Trump would somehow win, that somehow the tide had turned in past few days. I kept telling him even if that was true, it was too little too late, as majority of electorate had already voted.
 
Anyone who has been paying attention to any of the district polling and internal polls knows Biden is going to comfortably win. Not sure why people keep mentioning 2016 as a gazillion different things have changed since then.
 
If Trumps wins he'll go on a tangent about how the "cheating Dems" cannot stop him and the "American people" in making American great again.

If he loses, he simply wont accept it. He'll go knee deep in conspiracy theories and may do some even more despicable sh*t.
 
There are a lot of people out there, the forgotten ones, who tend not to vote for either party and may want to give the establishment a middle finger.

how? like in bush v gore? that was only possible because the total electoral school votes were so close that one state was going to define who wins
Next tuesday the difference will be so big that the supreme court will be useless

Republicans are racing to the Supreme Court to 1) get drive in ballots thrown out and 2) limit/restrict the counting of the mail-in votes.

Is the a reason to be worried about the huge number of mail in ballots which have been reported to be delayed in the post? I think it was Washtington Post which reported on something like 7 million delayed.

Kinda a difficult question to answer unless you're really tuned in to what's happening on the ground. I know first hand that there are big problems in Miami-Dade, but I can't speak to how the situation is nationally.

I guess the standard answer of "worry about everything, assume nothing" is correct here.
 
Wait, this is Tuesday 3 Nov? I thought it was somewhere mid November!

Yeah, I guess so. It's nerve wrecking.

They really need to sort out this mess of a system where political parties openly can undermine voting and elections in so many ways.
 
I just can't wait to find out what he'll try / has tried. He is fecked after losing protection of the presidency, he really does have nothing to lose.

Ds have held a pretty consistent +6 or above edge in the generic ballot for more than 3 years now. The pandemic probably give Biden a couple more points but on the whole I think it was always going to be stable.
 
So my final estimate (unless additional late polling surprise from good pollsters like Iowa yesterday) is that there is a 50% chance Trump will either claim victory or refuse to concede defeat on election night.

10% chance - Trump wins clearly (this will be still close ; 299-239 would be his best case scenario)
20% chance - Trump leads after Tuesday night with PA still being counted. Assuming PA is fully counted, we could see anything from a Trump win by 2 ec seats, to a tie (269-269) to a Biden win by 20 (279-259). Mostly a Biden win if we get due process.
20% chance - Biden leads after Tuesday night with PA still being counted but below 270 (269-249). Biden leads in PA on Tuesday night. Normally, this should mean conceding the election but Trump obviously won't do so.
25% chance - Biden gets to 270 without PA on Tuesday night. Wins WI and MI comfortably and wins one of FL, GA, NC, OH, AZ
25% chance - Biden on track for 350+ EC. Wins two out of FL, GA, NC, OH. Even TX might be in play.

I'd be extremely shocked if this wasn't the case. More like a 25% chance that DOESN'T happen.

He won't get to 270 Tuesday night though. Official counts take longer.

Also, giving Trump a 75% chance of winning 3/4 of FL,GA,NC,OH is crazy imo.

I am vacillating between cautious hope and abject terror, but I would say my median slot is a Cathy comic strip (i would be shocked if anyone gets this, but if you do you will).

It's a little crazy that the end result is still in doubt, but that's 2020 for you I guess.

I maintain that it's the 3rd week of May 2020, as the spread of corona outside NY combines with Geroge Floyd. Trump drops off from 44. Biden climbs up from 48.
 
Everything logical is telling me Biden is going to win, and I genuinely conciously believe that will happen.

But for some reason deep down I have this feeling Trump's gonna win.
