This thread is for the Presidential election, my plan is to start marking wins as soon as they are called, sorted by time zone.
Some states are going to take longer than others. Polls generally close at 8 PM local time, but they can’t start counting early/mail in votes until after the polls close.
Wisconsin in particular has an interesting system where ballots are collected by MUNICIPALITY, not precinct, they have over 1,800 ballot counting locations and don’t report until ALL 1,800 are in.

11 PM Eastern / 8 PM Pacific
(D 54 EC Votes) California - Called For Harris
(D 12) Washington - Called For HarrisI am extremely troubled for the future of America. Not because of the current election results; but that this many Americans think Trump was and will be a good president. It’s infuriating the amount of single issue voters there are in the US.
It looks like people think Trump will fix the economy since that is the leading issue in exit polls. Massive trade wars are going to make the inflation of the last 2 years look mild. Americans are deeply stupid.
Texas waited until the 29th of October to mail out my ballot. As of today (November 3rd), I have yet to receive it. I fully expect Texas to fuck me over.
That’s crazy late to mail it OUT. Too late even to mail it back. You’ll have to either find a drop box or hand deliver it to county elections HQ.
If you don’t get it in time, you can always vote in person.
I can’t because I am currently out of state. I believe the cutoff is the post mark date. Still, if it doesn’t arrive tomorrow, they fucked me…and my wife.
Oh, maybe the out of state re-direct caused the delay? Trying to think of a best case scenario here…
There’s not one. The Texas election officials and DeJoy did this intentionally.
I signed up for the ballots in August because I knew I’d be out of state at the time. It is pure fuckery to mail them out on the 29th.
They should be prosecuted for election interference
And sued for election disenfranchisement.
Is there any kind of online source to print it out?
My parents printed their Arizona ballots from an online link. We’re all out of the country. However AZ seems to be taking the polar opposite approach to voting. But please check if there’s anything available.
I can’t believe we’re a few votes away from having a stooge at the helm and an anti vaxxer as the head of the CDC and FDA.
This fucking hurts.
And don’t forget that Herschel Walker will be a DoD lead.
I was trying to :(
Yeah. But we need to squarely focus the blame on Harris, the campaign, the apologists who excused some of here deeply unpopular positions, and disallowed the dissent that tried to bring her to more popular positions.
In the previous 6 elections, the candidate that ran as an anti-elite populist won.
This will make 7 (if Trump wins).
There’s a lot of blame to go around.
-Americans who tolerate and accept Trump’s behavior.
-Biden for not calling it sooner and letting a proper candidate emerge. Harris was the best at the last minute but there should have been actual primaries.
-Harris for not swinging for the fences and playing it safe.
Pretty god damn sad that American are this fucking racist and stupid.
So this is what we are as a nation?
2 tickets with women for president 8 years apart, and we vote for the worst possible man for the job. This country is infested to its core with misogyny.
Fuck
I hate my gender so much. The world would be so much better without us.
I have young kids… My wife always asks me if bringing them into this world was a mistake. I was always the optimist telling her I didn’t think it so. Now I don’t know what to feel. What are they going to do… Ugh. This is a waking nightmare. I’m scared.
I have a one year old. I’m terrified at how things are going to look in 4 years.
I have five between 20 and 33. I weep for them. All of us.
The choice was a future for them or a now for the elite. The Me Last
generationpeople seemsto have won - and even if not, showed that we are lost anyway without a paradigm shift.10, 3 and 1 here…
Yeah, I decided many years ago not to have kids precisely for this reason.
The best you can do now is to raise them to be better than this.
My kid grew up in the first Trump bullet that we managed to barely dodge.
We planned at that time start to look at colleges outside of the US and my kids is actually interested now.
Guess my family might end up being another first generation immigrant yet again but that won’t be a bad thing.
Raise your kids to be loving, respectful people, that’s the only chance we have for a better future. If we leave the future generations to be raised by people full of hate we’re doomed.
jordanlund is a Lemminal treasure. This thread needs to be pinned to the top of Lemmy (if that was a thing).
The rest of the world is watching, America.
Don’t fuck this up.
Just listened to Selzer break down her methodology in clear, simple terms. I’m starting to think the polling error this cycle is pretty big, and Harris is going to win handily.
God I hope so… The #1 problem with polling has been trying to determine who is or is not a “likely voter”.
We’re seeing that in PA. 22 recent polls, 18 “Likely Voter” polls, meanwhile 100,000 new voters casting ballots early. New voters aren’t counted as “likely”.
Whoever ran the Harris campaign on Reddit deserves their salary. That was an amazing echo chamber that had me fooled. I was expecting a blue wave better than Biden 2020. Too bad it doesn’t translate into the election.
Trump always overperforms. Even in 2020 he did better than he had any right to. This time there is no covid hanging over his head and Biden/Harris are taking all the blame for inflation.
It also does not hurt that millions of Americans willingly consume hours of right wing propaganda everyday. Fox News remains one of if not the top cable channel (after sports) and Joe Rogan one of the top podcasts. Meanwhile CNN has shifted right, papers like the Washington post have been compromised, and the remaining “liberal media” is so obsessed with appearing unbiased that they end up “sane washing” GOP craziness and inflating minor democrat flubs.
It was the same here. Moderation in this sub (to a lessor extent) and other subs (world, news, political_memes), cultivated a garden, through bans, to echo back to themselves the world as they expected to see it. Lemmy is just as knee-jerk delusional in its bans/ down votes as reddit. Dissent gets ignored and down voted. Facts are down voted. Legitimate criticisms are down-voted. All, down-voted into oblivion, because people want a comfortable lie more than an inconvenient truth.
You picked up the wrong message if you think grandstanding about Palestine was going to have any effect on this election at all. A significant portion of this country has fallen to fascism already. We got a lot bigger problems to deal with than the protest vote about Gaza. This country is now a vassal state of Russia, and US hegemony has fallen to the same unitarian kleptocracy that defines the collectivist Eastern Bloc. Figure it the fuck out. War is coming. Decide which side you’re gonna be on Komrade, or it will be decided for you.
You are just wrong. Harris lost this because of her campaign and her rejection of the Palestinian people was her first act as candidate. She led with a sense of entitlement that voters have no other option.
They do. She’ and her apologists have doomed us all.
I am 100% correct. There is no significant population in this country that cares about the fate of Palestinians in comparison to how much they care about themselves.
what specific facts were down voted?
Remember; most mail ins are democrat. If it looks bad that’s because we are not close to done.
I am on edge and dooming. If Trump wins it’s all over. I’ll likely literally die.
Go over to Reddit if you want to have a nervous breakdown. It’s a complete shitshow over there at the moment.
I don’t get it. There haven’t been any surprises yet.
Pretty much every state is following as expected. Its going to be super close and come down to PA, MI, and WI.
I’m losing my ability to give a fuck at this point. Everything short of large scale civil unrest or political revolution is basically business as usual. Whatever happens I’m sure we’ll fucking deserve it.
it’s more of a panic over county margins compared to 2020 that they’re showing on TV.
We still got mid terms and we still got 2028. And if it comes to it we still got violence
It’s truly terrible.
Hey, you survived one trump term.
Over a million people didn’t.
Yeah, not saying it was a good time.
Just trying to inject a little positivity.
How long before those are counted?
No idea
