It’s mad that this is a thing.

Reading between the lines, I think they are trying to avert a bloodbath.

God, that would be wonderful.

It’s both good & absolutely terrible.

Michigan also likely to break 2020 turnout

 

[WA Toffee]

It's a wrap.

Mate, no one has been interested in your "polls" for the past year. Now that voting is underway they are even less important and more boring (if that was possible)

Let's just wait and see now, shall we?

Unbelievable. Women have the right to vote differently? Without permission? Who'd have thought?

If the GOP had pushed mail in ballots more, they could've subverted this.

Genuine question. I'm not a gambler but I see the bookies have Trump at 4/6 favourite and Harris at 6/4. Why is this when everyone on the tele says they are voting Harris. Are the bookies scared of a silent vote win for Trump like in 2016? Ta.

Big difference having the right & feeling safe to exercise that right.

Nah, not really. I’d be drunk and/or hungover if I was her too.

what's weird is she's been seen. If I were her I'd live half a world away from that creep of a husband she's got.

Because betting markets for a 50/50 tossup like a US election are dictated by betting patterns, not any empirical evidence or information. If loads of people bet Trump, as many have, then his odds shorten

Just received a text from a guy I went to college with who has worked on GOP campaigns for decades. He's working state races this election period.

He said the word is Trump's team is in panic mode and shifting every bit of focus to just three swing states: Michigan, Arizona, and... North Carolina.

why leave it so late?

Because, perhaps, the media companies want Harris to win? Had sky on for the last few hours and it’s clear who they feel should win. Go on X and the feeling is the other way. Best to just wait and see.

Bookies odds factor incoming bets, if enough people are lumping on Trump and he loses, then it makes up for their losses if Harris wins. Their prices reflect how they can guarantee their profit the best. So they're an OK metric but not as good as polls in this case.
