Not that close after all.

atm looks like I missed either 1, 2, or 3 states (unless Harris somehow sweeps them, ie wins all 3 of  MI, WI, and PA)

its looks really grim

even if she wins NV, she loses if she doesnt sweep all 3 Blue Wall states (WI, MI, PA)

there is a real chance that Trump actually wins the popular vote

which, to be brutally honest

I hope he does IF he wins the actual electing Electoral College

as then there is not that drama to the degree they had in 2016 (Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million, but the Blue Wall collapsed and thsu she easily lost the electoral College, just like it may well do now)

By the narrowest of margins in any case - immaterial.
What about Iowa ? Does it serve any purpose if stays dem ?

[cosmicway 1,333]

Unless they 've been counting nothing but red wasp nests in WI-PA the last hour, they have both gone over to Trump.

[Vesper 30,235]

yikes

first time ever Trump has been projected (ATM) by the New Yorks times in any of his 3 election races

to win the popular vote

[cosmicway 1,333]

WI blued for the moment, PA stays red.

[NikkiCFC 8,344]

PA doesn't look good 😕 

[cosmicway 1,333]

Stupid dems they knew they had to keep the blue wall.

it is almost ALL Republican post 2022

Repub Governor

Both US Senators are Repub

all 4 US House reps are Repub (that may change now)

both state legislative chambers all vastly Republican

all statewide offices except for ONE, all are Repub, except for the lone Dem:

State Auditor Rob Sand, an ex high fashion model from the early noughties (lol, I told you I am a deep US political junkie)

Iowa

 

and now

 

[cosmicway 1,333]

PA impossible now unless there are huge blue areas not counted yet.
I doubt that very much,

[Vesper 30,235]

Democrats have lost the US Senate

impossible with the races left for them to keep control

yep

was never in doubt

that Selzer poll was a massive outlier and fail

her reputation is now in the mud

she was crazy to put her name to a clearly and profoundly flawed poll

so stupid, and from a previously brilliant political prognosticator

 

[cosmicway 1,333]

Trump held office for four shaky years, covid and all that.
His plan to make the world go fascist did n't march forward.
Will he do it now ?
Given sufficient money it can be done.

[NikkiCFC 8,344]

Fucking rednecks.
