We switched from CNN to MSNBC and are much happier.

Florida hasn’t been called yet has it? I’m not feeling particularly optimistic but I’m not despairing yet.

Yep. I'm in saint Paul and it would be unreal if we went red.

didn't we feel like shit in 2018 about this time, and then the wave came through??

[biscoffcookies]

I know it wasn’t “expected” but it wasn’t impossible and I wanted Florida so we could call it a day. I don’t want to sit here all night and then maybe have days of counting and litigation that might end badly. I HATE THIS.

[gretchenindisguise]

FL wasn't Biden's path. They didn't spend a lot of time there.

That he is up in TEXAS right now is giving me life.

Yes, it took days for us to realize that the blue wave actually happened.  This is what I'm clinging to right now--we knew coming into today that results would be slow, and sure enough that's likely what's going to happen.  I refuse to get upset over fucking Florida.

Yeah that would be the nail in my coffin.

senator Durbin in IL (D) won re-election

TX and OH would be amaaaaaazing. I'm not giving up now.

[icedcoffee]

What website has the best map of who has reported so far? I’m not loving anything I’ve seen.

I've lived in rural MN as an outside my entire life, always hanging on to the fact that MN was blue. If it flips.....

My red county (13th largest city in the nation) went very very lightly blue for Beto in 2018. So far only early voting has been posted but voters went 344,869 vs 344,137 for Trump. So Damn close. There was a huge Trump presence so I’m hoping more people came out today and voted blue. 

[Saudade]

I hope McConnell falls on his anticoagulated head and has a hemorrhagic brain bleed. I don't even feel bad about saying that.

[picksthemusic]

The margin keeps widening in TX and OH. OMG.

FUCKING MCCONNELL.

I’m not shocked.

I’m watching Lauren Underwood, John Hickenlooper, Jamie Harrison, Qasim Rashid, Mark Kelly, Sara Gideon, Doug Jones, Mike Epsy, and MJ Hegar.

I think we will get OH.

Not TX, but close.

[krystee]

underwaterrhymes do you have any concerns over the Casten/Ives race? I will cry if that one goes to Ives.

[wambam]

NYT needles are all bad. CNN painting a much rosier picture than the needles.

Seriously fuck you Florida forever that you’re good with this shit. You fuckin morons.

“We” are not good with this shit.

[bronxgirl]

Obviously Biden winning is the most important thing to me, but if he takes Ohio I'll be so happy.

As a former Texan I feel compelled to point out that El Paso--a huge D area with strong voter turnout this year--is on Mountain Time.  It's the only part of Texas not on Central.  Those votes aren't factoring into the totals you're seeing right now, and they are going to be big in for Biden.

Also, EP is the best and the rest of Texas only wishes it was as warm, welcoming, and full of heart as El Paso.

Am I the only one whose 2016 PTSD won’t let them get excited about anything?

I keep telling myself how wrong the needle was in ‘16 and maybe they’re being overly cautious this year as a result? I don’t know. I feel like I need to cling to something.

[AAM2012]

Bexar county (Bear)/San Antonio, TX with 88% in has Biden up 5 points compared to 2016.

I’m really hoping / thinking Casten takes it. Ives is horrific. My husband who is fairly connected due to his role thinks it’s not even a race.

Also closely watching Eric Riinehart and Sandy Hart.

Did Duval County (FL) go blue? If so that’s pretty stunning to me. Jacksonville is pretty traditionally Republican.
