This thread is for the Presidential election, my plan is to start marking wins as soon as they are called, sorted by time zone.
Some states are going to take longer than others. Polls generally close at 8 PM local time, but they can’t start counting early/mail in votes until after the polls close.
Wisconsin in particular has an interesting system where ballots are collected by MUNICIPALITY, not precinct, they have over 1,800 ballot counting locations and don’t report until ALL 1,800 are in.

I’m a sucker for punishment and have been reading some of it. Here’s a tiny sampling of Reddit:
I want ro kill myself already
I’ve already got my date set.
Live to spite these bastards
No
I am the guy you were talking to. I am getting over it by reading what trump supporters are saying. It’s helping me replace dispare with anger.
The broadcaster in Canada interviewed a young Trump supporter woman. She said all the abortion fears are made up. And that abortion isn’t real healthcare.
You’re a good feminist, telling women what to think!
So uh… what’s the right attitude to deal with this assuming we get a Trump? And I mean personally. I lean towards absurdism.
Stoicism.
Thanks, this is good advice.
I disagree. Stoicism at its worst may lead to resignation. Absurdism encourages defying the meaninglessness of existence in large part by recognizing meaning is made.
In the face of a cold, uncaring existence, absurdism or existentialism are two great philosophies to employ to reimagine how we want to be in the world and how we want the world to be compared to stoicism, which would reach its limits with and within reason. Absurdism recognizes reason’s limits and realizes one needs more than reason alone to persist.
I default to absurd but what I appreciated reading about stoicism was that it made me feel more grounded. Ridiculousness makes me feel expansive and unpredictable and I wasn’t finding a bottom to that.
Aah I follow ya. As evident in my comment, I tend to pair absurdism with its related philosophy existentialism for something of a grounding effect, personally.
Man you go out, chill a bit and get the best icecream You can get
Go to the Winchester, have a pint, and wait for all of this to blow over
I can’t believe we’re a few votes away from having a stooge at the helm and an anti vaxxer as the head of the CDC and FDA.
This fucking hurts.
Yeah. But we need to squarely focus the blame on Harris, the campaign, the apologists who excused some of here deeply unpopular positions, and disallowed the dissent that tried to bring her to more popular positions.
In the previous 6 elections, the candidate that ran as an anti-elite populist won.
This will make 7 (if Trump wins).
There’s a lot of blame to go around.
-Americans who tolerate and accept Trump’s behavior.
-Biden for not calling it sooner and letting a proper candidate emerge. Harris was the best at the last minute but there should have been actual primaries.
-Harris for not swinging for the fences and playing it safe.
arming a genocide and going in on anti-crime and -migrant rhetoric is “playing it safe” jfc
Yep! You new to American politics?
No, I am very acutely aware of how we got here. Clearly their strategy did not work or they would have won tonight. It’s a trick and you fell for it, hard. Of course you wouldn’t want to admit that.
Anyone out there that is gung ho about the border and arming Israel was always going to vote Republican. Ceding the narrative on those only reinforced the Republican base, and not offering anything material depressed the Democrat base. The whole time they’ve been pandering to imaginary voters and you’ll first gaslight yourself into believing those voters exist and your country is a horrible place of garbage people before you’ll admit that your side could have done things differently to appeal to more voters.
Republicans are at 51 Senate seats at the moment according to New York Times.
NBC calling the Senate flip.
The Senate™ is always flipping
Found this Australian site that’s covering the election from over on MetaFilter, they’ve definitely got the best laid out map I’ve seen tonight.
This guy civs
Remember; most mail ins are democrat. If it looks bad that’s because we are not close to done.
I am on edge and dooming. If Trump wins it’s all over. I’ll likely literally die.
Go over to Reddit if you want to have a nervous breakdown. It’s a complete shitshow over there at the moment.
I don’t get it. There haven’t been any surprises yet.
Pretty much every state is following as expected. Its going to be super close and come down to PA, MI, and WI.
If you’re looking at which states have been called then there may not be any surprises, but things like the NYT needle are following trends in states which are yet to be called.
The NYT needle for the popular vote is currently leaning toward Trump, what the fuck is going on? lol
California hasn’t been counted yet.
That’ll take like a week to finish count
Y’all are doomscrolling and there is like 80 million votes to count yet in mail ballots, sheesh
People are doom scrolling because The NY Times model has Trump at 90% likelihood, and Nate Silver thinks they probably have the best model right now.
I’m just saying it’s like 2 weeks until EVERYONE has a final tally of the results, I mean COME ON
95% now
So you saying USA just jumped the shark?
It’s over. There’s no path to victory for Kamala.
270towin called it for Trump.
Nice. Democracy won
