Thai time for start to get actual results US election

[zombie nights]

What time in Thailand will we actually start getting the results of the election?

(not the polls) But the actual results..

Sometime on Wednesday? About what time?

Thank u!

Results will start trickling in around 6 p.m. EST.  That's 11 p.m. GMT, and 6 a.m. (next day) in Thailand.

seems the results will come in past both their bedtimes.

The final results will take some time. I think January 5th is the deadline relative to some protests.

 

Giving democracy a rebirth will take some labor.  555

What time will I be able to turn the TV on and see something else on the news other than this complete bore?

We are talking days rather than hours before there is a clear picture, let alone a result, which could take weeks due to the bizarre voting process of the self-proclaimed world's greatest democracy. And the people's vote doesn't count anyway. It all depends of the electoral college vote, as demonstrated last time when Clinton got more of the people's vote but still came second when the electoral collage vote was counted. That was the same year that the only person in America who couldn't stand for president was the president, but that's another subject entirely......

Probably going to be Friday or Saturday. The unprecedented number of mailed ballots and the large turnout probably mean counting delays in some states. Several state laws require election officials to wait for election day to start counting mailed ballots. If the results are at all close there will be court cases files by both sides. The states have different ways to handle the situation if a decision hasn't been reached by 4 January. However, two states are key. If Biden wins both Pennsylvania and Florida he's almost surely the winner.

Better turn to a nice likhay with pretty girls. Also, just my opinion, but you won't get any news on American TV. Maybe try BBC. There are some good movies available with bittorrent.

Neither is now possible.  Trump's definitely won Florida with 96% of votes counted, and he's strongly ahead in Pennsylvania with 55.1% of the vote versus Biden's 43.6% with 75% of the votes counted.

Thanks for the update. That'll drive the Democrats even crazier than they've been since 2016. Maybe they'll get rid of the high priced consultants that have been running the party. They didn't even analyze what they did wrong in 2016, just followed John Brennan's advice to divert attention with the Russiagate hoax. It's going to be interesting.
