Risky, the wife might have blown her stake on food for the kids.

there's still time for more twists. what are you going to do if you've collected and Trump wins Pennsylvania and Nevada? You'll have hungry kids and an angry wife...

yeh well i don't recall the last time a general election in this country resulted in the incoming government receiving the support of the majority of the electorate. don't think it's happened in my lifetime. perhaps not even in Sasaferrato's.

You are probably right. There doesn't seem to be a single online resource listing the % at each election.

She could take it all back for a refund?

I could just take payment in baby food. He's got enough chub to skip a meal.

Has 269-269 ever happened?

 

[JTG]

Georgia Secretary of State promises they will have all votes counted by the end of today

 

[redsquirrel]

Has 269-269 ever happened?

Nope, closest in modern times is 2000 271 vs 266

I'm gonna go AZ cos he actually is ahead with only 14% left to count and it's a smaller state

and a lovely man (ive met him and he gave me some of his fruit cake)

 

[JimW]

Is this a more painful way for Trump to lose than heftily? You'd hope so.

Nevada.

Dunno what JTG is on about Arizona for.

 

[SpookyFrank]

democrats have won the popular vote in 7/8 of the last 8 elections i just read (including this one). I dont know what you do with that, apart from be reminded what a nuts system it is, but it might be worth bearing in mind a bit when people write all the 'idiot democrats should have done this this this' takes.

Would be interested to see popular vote in senate votes vs seats for Rs and Ds.

e2a: It's kind of hard to figure out because different propertions of R and D senate seats are up for election at different times.

 

[JTG]

Nevada.

Dunno what JTG is on about Arizona for.

Because I haven't slept in 24 hours

Worth pointing out that AZ isn't dead yet - a data error had it at 99% counted earlier but it isn't and is technically still live

yep. It's even more skewed than the electoral college. Two per state regardless of size. And none to vote for at all if you live in DC.

I've seen this so now you have to

edging narrowly winning not the other sort of edging

After a bit of a wobble I've got the bullish optimism back again: why not both?

 

[JTG]

Though it's still losable

 

[Kaka Tim]

i put arizona by mistake and then edited it

Nevada odds on, Pennsylvania toss up I reckon.

 

[JimW]

The long national nightmare is over, time for the next one.

Georgia and North Carolina too. The landslide is back on.
