Sorry for my stupid questions

 

[keybored]

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

Well that too... 13 electoral votes to West Virginia's 5.

 

[JTG]

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

Because the results they've had so far aren't sufficiently different from four years ago to indicate it'll change

 

[Sue]

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'?

The whole American politics stuff is weird. I don't pretend to understand it -- just rolling with it.

Dunno, but it could just be that the counties that have declared have been Trump-friendly demographic wise, so when you project, you get a Biden win.

Sorry for my stupid questions

I wouldn't worry about it. I've thought stupider ones. Too sober to ask atm .

 

[frogwoman]

I have absolutely no idea what is going on, and what's happening with Roque de la Fuente and that in one corner of Florida

The American voting system, yesterday.

Florida panhandle closes in a few minutes - quite heavily Republican

Absolutely. Some people on here seem to so just relying on them and getting kinda pissed.

NYT saying 95% chance of Trump winning Florida now - Panhandle votes will swing it in a few minutes

Why are people voting in Spain

Oh fuck

 

[Humberto]

So Trump has won Florida?

 

[two sheds]

cnn still saying biden looks close for florida

 

[frogwoman]

From the other American elections I've seen it's usually that whoever's won Florida has won

 

[JTG]

So Trump has won Florida?

Cubans in Miami-Dade largely swinging it. Cuban-American vote is not significant anywhere outside of Florida

 

[frogwoman]

It also seems that he's got more votes than biden?

 

[Ted Striker]

Cubans in Miami-Dade largely swinging it. Cuban-American vote is not significant anywhere outisde of Florida

I'm trying to soothe myself with that line. But if you are saying it, it must have some merit

 

[Wilf]

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

It's nudging towards Trump certainly. We'll have to see what the regional variations are, but the whole thing could well be very close.

 

[JTG]

I'm trying to soothe myself with that line. But if you are saying it, it must have some merit

Hey it's Florida. It's always close. Long way to go

 

[Kaka Tim]

florida is must win for trump. not essential for biden. polls had it on a knife edge (anyone know what in detail they were predicting?) - which looks to be whats happening. but yeah - lm a lot more nervous now.

 

[Humberto]

Cubans in Miami-Dade largely swinging it. Cuban-American vote is not significant anywhere outside of Florida

What's that all about like? Anti-communism?

 

[Sue]

Trump takes S Carolina.

ETA Too close to call for Lindsay Graham though.

 

[frogwoman]

I've just seen trump massively ahead with 22 votes,it almost gave me a fucking heart attack

 

[Kaka Tim]

south carolina a trump banker - no surprise

 

[Calamity1971]

Part of that pan handle in Florida has just turned red.

 

[strung out]

I've just seen trump massively ahead with 22 votes,it gave me a fucking heart attack

Tune into Sky News instead - they've got Biden ahead 44-26. Much better for your heart

 

[JTG]

What's that all about like? Anti-communism?

Yeah they're massively right wing pricks

 

[Ted Striker]

The way I see it, Biden has 3 penalties. The first one (FL) has been saved.
