Election Day Thread

Why is it unreasonable to ask someone making a strong claim for proof, or some shred of proof other than “because I said so”? Why is it my job to find the information if you’re the one making the claim? Voter fraud is a serious accusation, it would be nice to have more evidence than “I read an article once, you’ll just have to look it up yourself though.” Without the information you used to come to your conclusion, how can I evaluate the strength of your claim?

Fair enough.

I know, but I think it’s significant that in the biggest populations he’s been behind his benchmarks.

Also lets be honest, I’m drinking and posting. Not the brightest decision process!

That’s the thing too, she’s been above Obama’s benchmarks in those counties from when he won. That is significant I think.

Are me and @anon71262119 the only ones not getting sauced?

BIBLECHINS! (old, old joke)

Wooooooow. Going vintage.

We’re the designated drivers of this thing, SkyzykS.

So far all of the “called” states seem to be in line with projections. I know we’re on pins and needles looking for indicators from places like Florida and Georgia, but neither candidate has gotten a state “called” for them that makes me think “GAMECHANGER!”

Anyone else see it differently?

Of all the things no one would ever have guessed!

@Aragorn yeah, that is from way back, ain’t it? Surprised anybody recognized it.

Clintons lead in North Carolina is a potential gamechanger. Trump absolutely has to win NC, FL, and OH to win. He may lose all three.

I just think we do not have enough to know. Or maybe I am just a coward about projecting. It does look odd to me as well

Yeah, that’s what I mean…every state that’s been called so far has been a state that each of the respective candidates would have been expected to win. It’s not enough to meaningfully alter my feeling from the start of the night. No real “good” or “bad” news for either candidate in the states that have already been called (the states where we’re still getting more reports in without a call is another matter).

538 reporting that exit polls from Florida show people who consider the economy the most important factor favor Clinton over Trump by 7 points, in line with Pangloss’ statement on the market and a shock for a traditional GoP standopint

538 also reporting Clinton’s favorability rating beating Trumps in exit polls. Fucking Sad state of affairs. Neither candidate is above 50% though (thank goodness)

Just think of the assholes downplaying voter fraud. Fraud in Broward County Florida had it not been reported could have easily made a difference
