This is quite fun, if you like that sort of thing:

Build your own US election result: plot a Biden or Trump win

Biden may be ahead in the polls, but key battlegrounds that the Democrats lost unexpectedly in 2016 could come through again for Trump. Use our simulator to build your own election result map
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

It lets you call the seats that could potentially go either way and shows you how that translates into electoral college votes.

I have Biden winning 294-244, by flipping Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and North Carolina (and Nebraska 2nd District).

Arizona, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Iowa and Ohio (and Maine 2nd District) remain Republican.

That would be Ms. know it all...or even Dr. know it all if I'm feeling particularly pedantic.

Yes. One of my best friends is born and raised there. All her family are still there. I have actually personally been in Alabama multiple times.

There's also these crazy things called facts instead of anecdotal evidence.

US Census data

I tried to vote today before work but the line was already super long and I didn't have enough time so I am going have to try again another day when I have more time. Seeing a line in Asheville this early during the voting process so packed is very surprising.

Excellent, NC!!

In day 2 of early voting in TX, Harris County very nearly matched their vote total from day 1 (115k v 128k). Would have been a record turnout save for day 1.

Harris County alone is tracking what the entire state of Georgia is doing in early voting. The County Judge has been instrumental in this success and is a future star in the party. Her name is Lina Hidalgo and she's all of 29 years old. A Colombian immigrant, BTW.

Bexar and Travis Counties exceeded day 1 voting on day 2 and this morning there's another line wrapped around my local library waiting to vote.

It's so exciting!!

Although I of course personally want to see Democrats win, I have to say just generally more citizens actually getting involved and voting is fantastic.
(doesn't hurt that high turn out tends to favor Dems)
