The posts here are mixing early vote numbers with a sprinkling of Election Day numbers from West Coast states from the first hour of voting.

 

Kind of a sparse dataset. I'll help a bit.

Something happened this afternoon to scare Trump investors.

[Danderman123]

Finally, an update from Philadelphia!

 

 

[Danderman123]

This from the Michigan Secretary of State. High turnout in Blue states is bad news for Republicans.

 

Pennsylvania is almost gone for Trump. If Michigan goes for the Dems, that leaves Wisconsin, and then it's game over.

The latest Iowa early voting numbers are in. Dems and Republicans are tied at 39% apiece.

 

What's interesting is that the female vote is 55% of the total.

My wife's boyfriend gave me permission to vote for Kamala. His biggest issue was the abortion angle, basically he's worried about getting my wife pregnant.

This is what panic looks like:

Non-credible bomb threats against Atlanta-area polling places were from Russia, secretary of state says

 

Why would Russia want to help Trump?

They dont, they  want to help weak Harris. Putin endorses her.

Why are the Russians targeting largely Black polling sites in Georgia?

[Danderman123]

So far, there have been no surprises in the election results.

 

One big question is whether turnout in Philadelphia will be big enough to create an insurmountable firewall for Harris.

 

It looks like the Philly vote will surpass 2020, but just barely. If Trump increases his turnout over 2020, he could win. Still too early to know.

To keep the Trump vote down.

 

Better turn off CNN

Calm down talking to yourself isn't a good look.

Habit? Tradition? Nostalgia for 2016?

[Danderman123]

The early returns have some interesting numbers for Ohio, some traditionally Red counties have flipped to Blue.

 

But it's early yet. There is not much of a chance this trend will continue.

Kamala has one.   Donald is one.

You seem to be detached from reality.

 

If the Russians wanted to keep the Trump vote down, they would target Trump leaning polling places.

Way too early

There is a part of me---the cynical and admittedly selfish part---that kind of wants the felon to win.

 

I have no doubt he will eff things up as only he can do. I have enough money for 10 lifetimes, and I’m diversified enough so that no matter what havoc the felon creates, I’ll be just fine. Those who will suffer the most under his glaring incompetence, however, are the very people who think he’s the Second Coming.

 

The world isn’t going to get any more welcoming to the kind of people---the poorly educated and those lacking marketable skills---who support him, and only a nation that has productive and “Giver” States like CA, NY, NJ and New England, can carry the forlorn and obviated. I suspect the felon will mess things up so badly, that both the West Coast and the Northeast will secede. CA, OR and WA in the west, and in the east, northern Virginia, MD, NY, DE, NJ and New England, plus maybe eastern PA, will choose to leave Magastan to its own devices. The States who are the biggest parasites, taking much more from the Federal Govt than their citizens return in taxes, will be left to simmer in their own juices.

 

Looking at the Election Map, I see the felon is already declared the winner in some States whose largest ‘employer’ is Social Security Disability Insurance (KY, WV, TN). Who is going to pay their monthly stipend when CA and other Giver States are gone?

 

I always laughed when the felon tossed out his racist term “Black Jobs”, something immigrants are supposedly taking. In reality, what immigrants often take---if they’re not starting companies and juicing the US GDP---is MAGA Jobs. If the felon wins, and if he implements his economic policy of tariffs and deportation of all undocumented workers (except those who work at Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster), inflation is going to skyrocket, the deficit explode, the dollar collapse, rates soar, and most of MAGAstan will tumble into a level of poverty even Venezuelans would fear.

 

Schadenfreude is not a noble emotion, but sometimes it’s kind of impishly and deliciously satisfying.

[Yagoda]

Yep. Folks getting nervous.
