MOST STATES COUNT MAIL IN BALLOTS WITH THEIR IN PERSON BALLOTS.

PA and WI are exceptions.

If a state has been called or has > 85% reporting in, assume that the mail in ballots for that state are counted.

Biden may well still pull this off, but man, what we're all feeling is that anger that it's close. What's wrong with people?

Let's be very clear- we will NOT know an answer tonight. Period. Going to go to bed soon because we're not going to learn much more tonight except maybe some Senate seats and AZ.

This is what I've been saying, you're spot on. Arizona might FINALLY be a bright spot tonight, and Pennsylvania might be messed with if Republicans take everyone to court, but I still maintain that the blue votes are there. Wisconsin and Michigan too. Nothing tonight has threatened Biden's must-win states. Our faith in polls and our fellow voters? Sure.

Edit: Can I also add how gobsmacked I am that MSNBC and freaking Fox News has had the best coverage tonight?!

Macomb County is doing really badly in Michigan. It's Detroits ultra racist suburb area that needs to go like 50/50 which worries about the rest of the state. However, only 17 percent of the early vote is in and HALF the state voted early.

Regardless of what the final outcome is, I hope that polling companies finally start to realize that the "willing to pick up calls from unfamiliar numbers on their landline" demographic isn't representative of the full country.

I'm still stunned that it's this close. I expected Trump to cap out at ~230 electoral votes.

Gotcha. So people are primarily hoping Biden ends up taking PA, WI, and MI after those votes come in.

Yeah.

As a WI voter who mailed my ballot in I'm really hoping biden pulls it out. That would mean most likely my state and local candidates who are FABULOUS progressives win as well.

It's a lot of that, but I also think we are on the cusp of ethnic change and that causes a lot of thrashing.

In 60 years America will be much more diverse, but sadly full of people who still want to opress others. It's not an American thing, it's a human thing.

I think ultimately fascism is just easier. We were taught that fascism was a uniquely terrible ideology for uniquely terrible people, so the vast majority of people just took it for granted that they would never be such a thing, never realizing how close they already were.

Sincerely, and please listen.

You are anxious right now and your anxiety is legitimate. You're on the internet right now because it's given you an illusion of control. You can't really control this right now. But you are physically safe, and the world has a lot of good people in it. And there is a lot good you can do.

We probably won't know what's going to happen tonight. Go play video games. Get high. Jerk off. Just do whatever you need to do to relax.

Tomorrow's a new day and take time then to take stock.

As stated, in the battlegrounds like MI, there are only 20 odd percent mail ins/early votes counted too. This is going to be weird and take forever.

turns out that running a candidate who tells you that nothing better can ever happen and he will veto policies that would directly help you were they ever to make it to his desk isn't a winning strategy. who'd have ever thought!

Anybody vaguely leftist has been (correctly) saying this since Biden was nominated, and he never did anything to meaningfully turn around this impression. I don't really get why people got this sudden burst of confidence that Trump would be decisively crushed in the last couple of months given this.

"Diversity" is not some innoculation against fascism and the Democrats have been getting their teeth knocked in while depending on "demographics as electoral destiny" for at least two decades now.

Also they're not the only ones who think they can leverage those forces!

This doesn’t change no matter who wins this election because neither candidate are in anyway seriously going to do anything about climate change. One denies it and the other will offer carbon credits. Both result in the same thing
