as predicted

it is perhaps trending towards one state deciding the election

PA

it may well be the only state I predicted incorrectly (if Trump wins it)

and dog knows I stuggled with it (who I should predict would win it) until last night

and still I was shaky AF with my firmness of choice

It's 16% of the votes in PA and Harris is well ahead.
But the needle is slightly red - they have n't counted the red districts maybe.

That did n't look winnable for Hariss.
But it's the overall percentages that count too.
It looks like a 4% swing to Trump there. What does that say ?

yes, a lot of Red areas to count

but Harris has had huge turnout in Philadelphia so far

super crazy close atm

slight tilt to Trump (which may well mean he wins the POTUS, arf)

I predicted she would lose NC

atm my POTUS EV map looks a perfect call, other than possibly PA, (of course this is subject to change)

same for my US Senate map (which is tracking to, atm, to being 100 per cent correct (of course subject to change)

Trump is so bonkers.
Listened to Richard Nixon's resignation speech in wikipedia.
Take away the lame excuses about Watergate, the man sounds like a dyed in the wool liberal by today's standards.

correct

Nixon did a lot of things that would be called commie commie commie now by today's Republican party

MAGA types would call for the execution of Eisenhower

Wisconsin keeps changing hands. Narrow Haris lead now.
 

[cosmicway 1,333]

So if WI can be considered blue despite the narrow lead, it's down to PA now and winner takes all.

It's 30% in PA and Trump closing.

more history

the 4th black woman to be elected to the US Senate in American history

[cosmicway 1,333]

I wonder why the results are not computed instantaneously.
Here is my perfect system:
I go to the polling station. The justice representative checks me in his laptop (identity - has n't voted).
I go behind the parapet and it's another laptop. I choose my state e.g  New York. with the mouse I select political party / individual candidates then press enter.
The justice representative sees in his computer that I have voted.
Then everything is transmitted to a centre of operations and the count is instantaneous.
This is fraud proof and further I can vote for New York from as far as lake Titicaca in Peru - by going to the US consulate.

I don't like the internet from home.
It's not fraud proof.
Ahmadinejad comes early in the morning to my house and says vote for me. Won't I ?
It's ten of the best if I refuse as well as ten of the best if I say "but I have already voted".

The cost of installation is no more than 10 million euros for a country the size of Greece, 200 million for USA.

WI-PA Harris ahead but hopeless;y close now.
In fact if rate of approach carries on unabated Trump would win both states by 5-10% !
