And people on social media are already trying to read the tea leaves!

Oh dear.

It's almost as though it's going to be close.

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.

its such a mental system that you can legitimately have a president that the majority of people didnt vote for, if you saw that in a third world country you'd say it was a joke

It was designed that way ... the ''concept'' was to provide adequate representation for states that had large slave populations (who obviously couldn't vote)

once again it goes back to the constitution that they so slavishly cling to like the world hasnt moved on as jim jeffries the right to bear arms bit was put in so the population could rise against a corrupt government which was okay when the government had muskets, now the government has predator drones it doesnt work as well.

I’ve been convinced Trump will win for about two years and I’m not changing my mind now sadly.

It’s so tight and the polls always under estimate the right wing vote.

Hope I’m wrong and the “nauseously optimistic” Harris campaign’s numbers are right.

Is this going to be like a matchday thread?

Come on Harris

For her sake I hope Trump doesn't end up one on one against Khiara Keating

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

The result - a tie.

3 couples - all the women for Harris, all the men for Trump

Choose wisely. That option is not wise. You have to cross that invisible bridge.
