Poll: Will we know results tonight?

[icedcoffee]

For purposes of this poll "Tonight" is defined as knowing by 4AM EST

[scm1011]

I think we will have a very good idea of how things will shake out, even if its not officially official.

[heygrey]

I said No, but just technically. I think we’ll have a good idea if there were big surprises (Iowa, I’m looking at you) and a gut feeling about who has won.

But everyone is anticipating dumpy throwing a huge fit and dragging this out forever, so I think the official word will take a few days so they can be really sure.

I voted yes for this same technicality lol. I think we will have a “projected” winner but yes I’m sure it will be a few days until things are made official with Trump lawsuits that will immediately start rolling out as soon as the polls close to be thrown out.

The race won't be called, and nobody's going to concede anything tonight, but it'll be more than legible tea leaves.

[sonrisa]

I’m not counting on ‘vibes’

I remember when 2000 was called for Gore then rescinded

[cville]

Who
The
Fuck
Knows

[eddy]

I do think I will go to bed with a good idea who is going to win. I think it will be more obvious then 2020. I think the call will be tomorrow morning. 

[Velar Fricative]

Not in the Eastern time zone. Maybe Hawaiians will know.

[glw]

I don't think so.
which is crazy because HOW is it so close?!

Also I personally won't feel like I'll "know" until January, which...ugh.

[mrsslocombe]

I mean, Trump's never going to concede, I'm sure he's declaring victory by 7pm EST.

God forbid, if he is actually clearly winning by the end of the night, I think Kamala would possibly wait until tomorrow until more vote totals are in to concede.

I feel nauseous just writing the above.

[fluffycookie]

I said no. Even if Kamala wins by a landslide he will contest it saying she won based on voter fraud. I am hoping I am wrong.

Brad R. from GA said he expects GA will know tonight.

In GA some polling location have received bomb threats that originated in Russia (in majority black neighborhoods). The FBI is investigating. They closed those locations for a short time but reopened when they determined the threat was not credible. Not sure if they’ll keep them open longer.

[mrsd2006]

No, I don't think we will have an answer tonight but I know that Trump will claim victory before the end of the night.

[underwaterrhymes]

I think we will know late tonight, early tomorrow.

I really, really think this is going to be a landslide.

I really hope you are right. Being in a bright red suburb today is not good for my anxiety and I am all of the sudden feeling like she is going to lose. I really want to be wrong.

Not in a suburb but still in a deep red part of the city and I feel you on this. I really hope those of us in this boat can see that at least they’re outnumbered by people outside of our bubbles!

Haha, yes. 🩵💙

[katfco]

Trump essentially declared victory a month ago, so I don't care about a concession from him.

I think there will be a likely projected winner by sunrise tomorrow, but some places will be too close to officially call.

Meanwhile, I'm stressing about Ohio's Senate race.

[Jalapeñomel]

I think Trump will call it at 9:01 pm EST.


I’m still standing by my comment from last week that it’ll be a blue landslide.

Is it weird that I *don't* remember this?

I know it happened, but I have absolutely no recollection of it. And I was 19 and my first presidential election, so it isn't like I don't remember because I was 10.
