Rachel is keeping calm, saying there aren't really any surprises....

[Nonny]

I'm trying really hard not to doom spiral, but I'm having 2016 flashbacks, and I want to cry.

[icedcoffee]

There haven’t been any surprises yet.

Sarah McBride is the first trans person elected to Congress. 🩵

Brian Taylor Cohen's Instagram live stream is keeping me hopeful. He's showing Kamala out performing Biden in most urban areas of PA. But I'm worried he's not showing how Trump is out performing in the red areas.

I think it’s over. He’s approaching 200 and she’s not cracked 100.

I don’t think anything’s been called for him that wasn’t expected to be safely red, though, right?

I have been comparing the electoral map to the Real Clear Polling map (was linked here in the summer and I've been keeping an eye on it since). Nothing has been called for Trump that wasn't expected. I'm watching the CNN map now and Nebraska has stayed blue the entire time. Iowa is blue and we had a smidgen of hope for that since the weekend. 

I'm angry that there are clearly millions of people who don't see Trump for exactly who he is, but I'm not spiralling about Harris losing yet.

I'm concerned this is going to come down to PA, and if she wins it he's going to file fifty 'leven billion lawsuits and I do not trust SCOTUS for shit.

I’m watching NBC News because I only have Peacock and every time they have a new “projection” it’s like someone died in the Hunger Games.

MI, WI and PA are now not “it’s too early to call” but to “it’s too close to call” per MSNBC

This is what I was coming to post. I’m feeling disappointed because I really did think we might see an Obama-style landslide, but instead we’re seeing a traditionally close race.

[TR]

PA, WI, and MI could save us.

Lol this is the best explanation I have heard.

[underwaterrhymes]

Supreme Court in MI flipped blue.

[Beeps (WOT?*)]

I'm shaking like heck right now. And I don't think it's because I'm chilly but rather feeling chilled and slightly terrified of a repeat of 2016. When will the misogyny end?

Well tonight I am going to bed dejected and depressed. So maybe miracles will happen overnight.

Karnacki says more of the GA suburbs are looking better for Harris...

Yes this is drastically different than an hour ago

This is giving me hope!

WaPo has this potential projection on their home page...she could still get 349

[konapoppy]

I had missed that Josh Stein won. That’s at least something for NC, since so many republicans seem willing to tolerate a whole lot of BS.

[sequins]

I saw DD called Virginia for her. Way early but I'll take it. So we just need WI, MI and PA. Georgia and NC are still not out completely. We can still do this.

[erbear]

I’m here for the optimists. We need you. Keep it coming!

[beerlover]

I'm switched from booze to ice cream. If a major call is made in the next hour or so maybe I'll switch again.

[TR]

MSNBC repeating that this isn’t anything surprising, we need to have patience, etc. Even though it’s disgusting that it’s like this.

[heygrey]

I keep looking at the county level in several states (I'm watching Virginia closely) and the rural, red counties have high reporting totals, while the more urban, blue counties have lower reporting totals. I'm optimistic we'll see better results as those urban areas finish counting.

ETA: And Virginia just flipped back to blue! Now I'm watching PA, but I expect the same from them. 

[fernweh]

I’m not giving up hope yet. None of these states are a surprise, we need to see swing states start coming in before we jump to doom and gloom.

The only discouraging thing is that he is performing better in certain places - it’s like no one cares about Jan 6…

[rachers]

It’s still early and it’s going to come around! I feel like better numbers are already coming in.

We can’t spiral yall! I know it’s so stressful and we’ve all got a dash of PTSD from last time but we have to stay positive.

My friend just texted me this at the right moment:

Remember, the Red Mirage comes before the Blue Wave Hang in there!🌊🇺🇲
