Yep. Because there are some dems who insist on projecting basic human decency on their opponents.

you're obviously not from north carolina

the ncgop has no human decency

there's a reason they were completely ignored back when dems ran the place

Add an hour and an hour and a half to any state you think might be too close to call immediately.

Unless it turns into a bloodbath 9 is about the earliest to expect to know the results. As always it's not going to tick to 270 until after 11 when the west coast comes in.

unless clinton actually wins nc bigly by like 6+ it won't get called before 10

fl will take forever because people will still be in line when polls in ca close

networks won't make an official call until 11 anyway

You almost want Trump to win, because you know all his supporters will have their lives crushed just like everyone else. It will be worse for them though as they watch their golden idol to whom they gave their lives stomps on them

that's why i want him to lose

to crush them, to see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women

If she doesn't win NC solidly they might wait until after we know about Nevada which is gonna be laaaaaaaate.

if nate cohn's estimate is true and she's looking at a ~+5 in nc it'll get called around 9:30-10 and that's game, but networks won't call the election itself until 11 eastern when west coast polls close

I completely despise how Calculus is generally taught because single-variable calculus is much easier to understand if you teach the concepts of it non-rigorously instead of opening your first class with "okay everyone lets derive the derivative from limits and integrals from Riemann Sums!"

pretty sure the only thing from real analysis that filters down into a typical high school/undergrad single variable calc course is the delta-epsilon proof

everything else is already simplified for engineers, otherwise we'd go back the way guys like tom apostol taught it

quote:

What is notable is that with three days to go for in-person absentee balloting, registered Democrats have just about caught up to their cumulative 2012 numbers, down only 0.8 percent. Registered Republicans are well ahead of their 2012 numbers, up 11.1 percent, but the truly remarkable line on the above chart is from registered unaffiliated voters: up 42 percent from the same day totals in 2012. That's your wildcard for the 2016 election so far.

Among the racial composition of all absentee ballots, white registered voters continue to be 72 percent of the ballots, with black voters at 22 percent. However, black voters have been a higher daily percentage of the ballots, trending between 27 and 28 percent of the ballots. All other races are now at 7 percent of the total.

White voters are 18 percent ahead of their same-day cumulative totals from 2012, while black voters continue to make up their deficit so far in comparison to four years ago, down now 11 percent (it was 17 percent down last Friday). All other races combined are up 48 percent from the 2012 same day totals.

I think if there's a positive to this election (besides Hillary becoming president), it's that a whole lot of stuff is in the open now. It didn't happen in a vacuum, obviously, but I think a lot of people are actually thinking about issues relating to racism and sexism more than they may have in the past. Whether that'll stick with that is up for debate, but I can't help seeing it as a positive. My eyes are certainly more open than they were a few years ago, fwiw
