If this is correct then Fulton is at 473k with 10 hours left to vote, 2020 total was 517k.

Fingers crossed Chatham, Dekalb, Clayton, Cobb, Gwinnett keep up with the pace. those 6 counties together can net another extra 100k votes for Harris on top of Biden's margin, which would offset the R rural increase (if any)
 
If he loses again, why do you want the GOP to dump him? Let him keep running. Let him keep losing.
It would objectively be hilarious if Trump loses and still has a stranglehold on the GOP in 2028. Part of me wants to see it, but another part wants him to just go away. Realistically there will probably be some kind of Trump news until he dies though.

I want him to be gone forever after this week, just let him rant and rave from a prison cell where he belongs.

However I think that even if he loses tonight he won't give up his hold over the GOP. He'll be fully intent on running again in 2028 and it's just a question of if the Republican party are spineless again and allow it to happen.
 
For the love of God, America, do the right thing and let Trump end his days doing MyPillow and carwash commercials to pay his lawyers.

Probably a bunch of republicans would like to see him nominated, even from the grave, it would be like the onion-video, with zombie Reagan.
 
It’s Fox News. This is how they are. The Senator is a very respected democrat. He has gone plenty of times on Fox News and schooled them.
He's not a senator, but he is the most articulate politician in national US politics, quite frankly I'm amazed Fox News have him on because he dismantles them every time
 
I'm going to be keeping up with this throughout the night here in England.

He will probably be a Senator, already moved to Michigan since he has no chance of getting a Senate seat in his native Indiana and a House seat is too unglamorous for his national profile. Gary Peters is 66 and probably win serve another term before vacating his seat to let Buttigieg run for it.

Its because Fox needs more Dems on their shows to create the illusion they are more balanced, when a lot of lib politicians usually avoid Fox like the plague because the fear a trap. The likes of Pete and Gavin on the other hand, barge in like Yosemite Sam and pretend like they own the place, because they know their facts and know they can outtalk anyone they encounter.
 
I'm just getting the feeling that Harris is going to win in a relative landslide now.

I had that feeling half an hour ago - but now I have the exact opposite feeling.

My hope is that the new voters will make a difference.

The theory that young people who "support" Trump won't actually vote for him (they will stay at home) - to a significant (enough) degree. Whereas young people who (actually) support Harris will get their asses out the door and vote.
 
Whoever the feck thought it would be a good idea to let people bet on elections should be flogged.

“But the betting markets…” is right up there with kids saying the phrases “crash out” and “skibbidy” in annoyance for me
 
Is it true that 180 000 amish are voting for first time in pensylvannia?
No, there are not that many Amish in Pennsylvania, let alone voting:
"There are currently about 92,000 Amish of all ages in Pennsylvania, according to the Young Center’s research, which is based on a number of sources, including almanacs, newspapers, and directories. About half are in the Lancaster area and the rest dispersed around the state." https://apnews.com/article/pennsylv...n-republican-02879042c8ee425c345daa971ecd341e

The ridiculous thing is I can honestly see him running in 2028, at 83.
 
The vibes on social media aren't brilliant for the Dems at the moment hopefully we get some good news out of the rust belt in the next couple of hours.

The odds are (obviously) influenced by betting activity. One person could hugely influence the odds by placing an insane amount on X. And so forth.

Still - it's debatable how much this actually matters.

If a potential Trump voter looks at the odds - and sees that his man is likely to win, is he (the potential voter) more or less likely to vote?

But in general - yes, I absolutely agree. Betting on elections shouldn't be allowed. It's not feckin' entertainment.

?

I'm discounting estimated turnout reports out of Philly for now (that is very good for D), but Nevada is looking brilliant and Brad Raffensperger just said they are estimating a 1.2 million turnout in GA today, which would makes total more than 300k above 2020.

Those 300k aint gonna come from rurals, they are going to come from metro Atlanta/black voters in the Black Belt counties. I think if that materialize GA will be called for her by 9 p.m, and that's the ball game. You don't even need PA with NV+GA.

Apparently we’re not even going to get the official result of this election until the NYSE opens on Monday morning.

It’s one of the most irritating things about it.
