Results chatter thread

[wanderingback]

I’m not gonna watch anything. I’ll just keep checking in here. I’m sure if anything exciting happens I’ll get alerts and/or texts.

how close did we expect Georgia? because the false bomb threats make me nervous about lost votes.

Georgia doesn’t look good. CNN is reporting from exit polls a huge swing of independents to Trump. Everyone on the panel seemed shocked so now I’m worried.

I just read that in Douglas County Georgia (blue county surrounding Atlanta), with 74% of the vote counted, she is out performing Biden by 7 points. So not all hope lost yet.

How are so many people so dumb???!

Eta: the Trump voters, not ya’ll

[underwaterrhymes]

This made me laugh. It’s from 2020, but still valid.

Currently drinking a very mediocre Riesling and about to get very invested in some cross stitching or figure skating dress stoning. Haven't decided which yet.

My knitting will come out as soon as I finish supper...

[beerlover]

Gosh ya'll are making me anxious lol. Yet I don't think I can look away.

[smock]

My mental state today: nauseously optimistic.

[hermione]

I’m watching a documentary on the Zodiac Killer to calm down.

[heat40]

I can't get all the numbers straight. on one end I see Harris outperforming Biden, and then queue CNN with their alerts showing Harris down.

[aurora]

I remember a lot of red early on in 2020, too. It's the geography and we should expect it.

Now, what happens mid-evening is a much bigger question.

Omg why is there so much red everywhere. Maybe I should take a melatonin. Not sure I can watch this slowly.

Remember that rural is easier to count than urban because of fewer people.

These early results are expected.

I keep telling myself this but it's HARD not to be anxious 🥴

[heygrey]

I ran all my errands and am quickly making dinner so that I can melt into the couch the rest of the evening. Trying to find a stream that is allowed in Canada.

I have barely drank in ~6 months, but H grabbed a 4 pack of my favourite beer. I have n/a beer cracked right now.

I know. Just depressing that we aren't witnessing a miraculous turn of events. Yet.

I moved my link to the SM thread, but Katie Couric talks about this red mirage!

[heygrey]

Are we allowed to be excited about CNN's projections? Ohio and North Carolina for Harris??!

ETA: probably not? because they currently have texas as blue!

[SwimDeep]

I'm going to have to turn my phone off. I'm repeating, "It's early" like a mantra... but it's not helping.

Looking forward to liking aaallll the positive posts in this thread tomorrow... 🤞🙌

Catch y'all on the other side ✌️

[underwaterrhymes]

I hate how MSNBC says “we have a projection! It’s too early to call!”

🤪

If Texas went blue I’d probably die from shock on the spot!

[heat40]

so when did the mirage fade last time? because I am entirely too impatient at the moment. Like I'm getting mad at the projections, even though these states were always projected to go red.

Ditto for Ohio. Would be FLOORED if it went for Harris. And would bode really well for them keeping their D Senator (Sherrod Brown)

[underwaterrhymes]

UNNECESSARY DRAMA MSNBC!

Jesus.

[katfco]

Sherrid Brown has pulled even with Moreno, even with the red mirage.

Its not a “projection” if it’s too early to call! Also, I just yelled “Oh for fuck’s sake, Rachel!” When she very dramatically said they were changing the projection of Georgia from “Too Early To Call” to……..”Too Close to Call”.

This is the thread from about the same time in 2020.

pandce.proboards.com/thread/622627/results-thread?page=7

About the same place as this year.
