Polls closed in NC, WV & OH

Florida neck and neck with 51% counted, according to the BBC.

Running through states with excited voice saying "Too early to call - too early to call - too early to call" why the fuck say it then?

 

[frogwoman]

It says Trump just won somewhere else

Worrying.

West Virginia. It doesn't matter

This is like horse racing.

Hes going to win lots of places. They're mostly priced in

This is like horse racing.

Except you're not supposed to shoot them if they stumble.

 

[JTG]

Worrying.

Not really, it's FL, it's always neck and neck

 

[spitfire]

Honestly, the CNN coverage is like horse racing, it's quite compelling.

i just turned it off, reminded me too much of our last but one election which was sooooooooooooo depressing

(My niece's GF is from North Carolina -- her family (not her) voted Trump last time. Asked her how they were voting this time. Apparently her and GF hadn't really noticed there was a presidential election going on and it hadn't come up. Also a massive fail on the Biscuitville front, I despair, I really do...)

ok that it stop the counting

West Virginia. It doesn't matter

Virginia is a different story.

If for nothing else, I've got whopping touchscreen envy. It all works without jabbing the screen 15 times and shitloads of smears circled around your pin code. I always thought it was operated by a human behind the scenes but it's too reactive

Been looking forward to staying up and commentating this evo as I usually do for UK/US elections, but had a painful fall at work y'day (I'm a doddery old man now) so have had to dose myself up and may not last the night

 

[Lord Camomile]

Virginia is a different story.

AP just called Virginia for Biden.

 

[stdP]

The BBC/Reuters map is making for entertaining viewing - I didn't realise it would change as separate county votes came in so it's flipped Florida a couple of times already.

At the time of writing this, Texas just turned blue with 85% of the votes (albeit with "0%" of the votes counted apparently).

It says Virginia has been won by Biden but in the actual result it suggested Trump has more votes? Should I just ignore when it says stuff has been 'called'?

 

[JTG]

Yeah Virginia's going for Biden by miles

 

[keybored]

AP just called Virginia for Biden.

I know.

No, calls are made by people who know an awful lot more than we do!

I'm still watching the In the Thick coverage, which is far more interviews/commentary, with a few race announcements here and there.

guardian one's better than bbc - BIden's ahead in it 16 - 13

 

[Lord Camomile]

I know.

Ah, sorry, I thought you meant "different story" as in "it's more important".

I always thought you were a woman... Hope you're doing okay and y'know, this will all still be going on tomorrow so...painkillers and bed might be a plan...

Even the trump is actually leading there at the moment

(ohh, you’ve all said this, darned non refreshing)

 

[frogwoman]

How come Trump is winning there and it says biden has won tho?
