US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

[Ric]

As has been suggested by a few posters, am going to lock the other US political threads now so that all discussion of the actual election itself takes place in one thread, rather than spread over three separate ones.

Harris will win, based on fuck all but the hope that the US people aren't all completely fucking mental

I think you’ll be surprised. I sincerely hope she does, but Trump is polling better in the swing states.

If they vote a convicted felon and sexual predator as president they can get in the bin.

Don't you mean the Rigged Presidential Election Nov 5th 2024?

Depending on whether Trump loses, of course.

Did my part and voted for Harris.

I'm in a swing state.

Vibes for her lately seem good but obviously we won't know anything until returns start coming in.

Glad I got to call Trump a mad old **** on his thread one last time before the lock!

My prediction of final battleground vote shares:

State - Harris % - Trump %
Arizona - 49 - 50 (Trump)
Georgia - 50 - 49 (Harris)
Michigan - 50 - 49 (Harris)
Nevada - 49 - 50 (Trump)
North Carolina - 48 - 50 (Trump)
Pennsylvania - 50 - 48 (Harris)
Wisconsin - 50 - 48 (Harris)

Electoral College Outcome:
Democrats - 286
MAGA - 252

Kamala Harris wins the election.

Edit: corrected the EC totals as I was one vote off (270toWin seems to have a bug that causes the sums to not work correctly when you change state affiliations and you have had the page open for awhile, requiring the user to reset the map and set the map to the desired scenario to get the accurate count).

What time is this shit on?

This also reminds me of how screwed up our Electoral College system is.

Kamala would likely have this in the bag if we just used a normal "most votes wins" system. Very hard to see her losing the popular vote.

What time is this shit on?

First polls close at 11 PM your time, a larger batch of them close between midnight and 1 AM your time.

First town result in from Dixville Notch in NH. 100% turnout (6 people).

The result - a tie.
