Can't ever do a CNN election night ever again. I don't mind them on regular nights (Stockholm syndrome from budget hotels with 2 English language channels), but the soundbyte of Wolf bloody Blitzers voice calling Trumpnight gets me anxious just writing this sentence!

Florida is the bellweather. More I think about it, the more it's cruciality is more apparent: If Biden wins, tonight is a victory lap, if Trump wins, not only does he now have a numerical chance, but it signals that all (most of) the poll predictions have been off, and we've got the threat of 2016 all over again...
Not sure how relevant/important The Weather has been today for voting in the United States, but most forecasts up until very recently were predicting largely dry and largely sunny weather across the vast majority of the whole country, in almost all states.
If that's how it's turned out today, who does that help most I wonder?
Right : I'm off to a quick bath then bed, as I'll be getting and catching up no later than 4:30 am GMT!

Not a swingometer, but there's a 'needle' here that does what you'd expect... Election Needles: President
(Must admit, as a data geek, these do's are like the superbowl for visualisation and information presentation nerds like me
)

Was just about to post "not sure I can stand CNN coverageNot a swingometer, but there's a 'needle' here that does what you'd expect... Election Needles: President
(Must admit, as a data geek, these do's are like the superbowl for visualisation and information presentation nerds like me
is there coverage that just gives the highlights?"so ta for that
I might try CNN again in a bit but I'm finding it very difficult - like with british elections - when they're talking non-stop with no actual information to give yet.

‘CNN - slightly quicker than sky and less annoying than the BBC’ - it’s one hell of a tag line.Was just about to post "not sure I can stand CNN coverage

don't know sorry, I've decided I can't listen to anything yet - has been a good 16 years since I've listened to news broadcasts and now I remember why

If you'll indulge me, any excuse to remind ourselves these are from the same source as, arguably, the finest poll of our generation. Pure lol

This was suggested in our house but I value my technology too much* and do not wish to see a TV/laptop kinetic interface.

Fox will have to go some to beat Karl Rove vs Fox's Analysts in 2012.
Magnificent entertainment.

Tick tock.
First results coming in: Greene and Dekalb Counties IN; absentee votes (about 55% of total) breaking about +40% for Trump. Trump won about +50% overall in 2016. What does this mean? Not a lot, yet!
e2a: now Steuben county too - absentees (51%) +23% for Trump - he was +44% last time.
