AhhYes posted:Also party ID isn't a very good predictor of how they'll vote. Not only is this expected, it doesn't tell us much as far as outcomes go. Eh the number of defections will likely be lower among Republicans today since there's a higher chance these are his base voters following his message to wait.

Why would British people care so much about American politics? You've got your own politics, and even that stuff doesn't matter that much because you know the queen was chosen by god.

Yeah, I think that the vast majority of people that wait to vote aren't going to be the type of people (suburban professionals) that are likely to deflect for him in the (registered) Republican Party.

I don't think FL polling showed much difference in defections anyway. Biden's retention was 90-6, and Trump's was 89-7.

If you want a specific reason then Biden refusing to do a trade deal with Boris because of the Good Friday Agreement is probably our best hope for not utterly loving the country by trying to cut off all trade with the EU. If the US is hostile to the UK it increases the probabilty that the UK will concede to the EU, which is probably better for those of us living here.

I have cast my ballot in my location where my vote doesn't matter. I was asked to keep it down when I shouted, "From hell's heart I stab at thee!" when voting for Biden.

It was honestly kind of impressive how well it was run, but they weren't handing out any stickers.  vyelkin posted:Everyone around the world has to care about US politics because US politics determines whether we live or die even though we don't get a say in it. I've heard it said of Canada that sharing a border with the US is like sharing a bed with an elephant: it twitches, you fall out. These days the whole world is Canada.

My wife and I voted absentee in CT. According to the website to verify, our vote was taken on the 5th and registered on the 6th. EDIT: Also had no stickers.

I'm in line at my usual voting place, which is some loving news in and of itself. There's never a line here. People are lined up out of the church, out to the street, and then down that street..

I know this is the election TVIV thread but can I suggest we at least make it so people have to post more than "I voted!" and "+1 in VA!" all day and night? Because it's already going to be an insanely long thread with a lot of white noise and that sort of thing gets tedious. I mean, at least add some anecdotal element to it about the lines, the vibe or what have you. Crazy poo poo you saw or whatever. Just a suggestion.

If for some reason you want to give yourself a panic attack again, the (in)famous NYTimes Needle has returned. So, uh... That's great. Not gonna lie, I forgot about the Needle, and even thinking about it stresses me out massively.

I was just mentioning my vote as someone said voting sucks and is backwards in America. At least Connecticut gave out the forms to request absentee ballots to every voter, and let them get them ready to count almost a month in advance. Some states don't suck for voting!

One of the things I'm watching for tonight is Paula Jean Swearingen in West Virgina. After getting curbstomped in her longshot primary bid against Manchin, she beat out Trump Voter Ojeda and generic milquetoast Dem I can't be bothered to remember this year to be the nominee to face Capito. This is as close to a direct test of the theory that lefty populism will out run centrist succdems in a heavily Republican, heavily WWC state. From a much earlier post of mine in Polliwanks:Paracaidas posted:Paula Jean Swearingen is running in West Virginia, on a platform including free college, MFA, strong environmental reform, and a $15 minimum wage. Her opponent is an incumbent who Morning Consult has below 50% approval and who local news had trailing Trump's approval among WV Republicans by 17% last year.
