That's why Florida and North Carolina are key. Those are states, b/c of how the counts work, we could have an answer tonight

States like PA we won't know
Yep. It will be in incredible result for Biden if he takes Florida. I've been reading that Texas is close, and that'd be an even bigger victory than Florida. He surely can't flip both.
 
markets now seem to be favouring sleepy joe i hope he wind even though earlier i placed a few quid on trump because he was being backed , neither party or candidate inspire me in a big way but trump is an awful person the guy is so full of hate and very dangerous
 
How does Voting work in Alaska do you know?

Beacuse its so big and thinnly it must be a logistic nightmare to vote in person
Apparently there was quite a lot of work in 2014 to improve the number of voting locations, especially in rural areas

They have early in person voting and allow “no-excuse” vote by mail - which apparentky has had a particularly high uptake this year.

Whatever they are doing they are doing it pretty well, despite the obvious physical limitiations their voter turnout is a few point above the US average.
 
The unprecedented combination of Covid-19 and sky-high interest in the presidential race have made 2020 an especially challenging one for election administrators. But it could also make drawing conclusions from the initial results reported Tuesday night particularly hazardous.

It's likely that in Sun Belt battlegrounds such as Florida, North Carolina and Texas, the first totals to be reported will be huge tranches of mail and early in-person ballots that break heavily for Joe Biden, creating a "blue mirage" in the early tallies that could be erased once Trump-friendly in-person Election Day votes are tabulated.

But the opposite could be true in northern battlegrounds such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where officials are not permitted to begin processing mail ballots until the day of the election (or, in Michigan's case, the day before). In those states, a "red mirage" of Trump-heavy Election Day votes could linger until larger metro counties report huge tranches of early ballots later in the evening.
 
As an outsider looking in- I dont think you could have two worse candidates. Ive seen interviews with Joe Biden where he has lost his trail of thought and just stopped talking and apologised because he didnt know what he was talking about and Trump well, what can you say. He creates division, is hateful, male chauvinist who does what he wants when he wants.

What a choice for pretty much the most powerful man in the world.

Interesting stuff, thanks for the info
 
The barriers to reliably voting are not equal though

Can you explain these barriers a bit more and how this is a representation of them? This seems like a good thing for the Biden supporters.

Also, there are numerous ways to vote and the info on how to do so is very readily available state by state. Just went through this having moved states myself. It’s not that hard to find out what you need to do. If you don’t want to stand in line, vote early. If you need an ID to vote, get an ID. I think there has to be some personal accountability with voting.

FYI before you think this is anti something or other, I’m registered as an independent and voted for Joe and Kamala. I just don’t understand those that say there’s a problem with widespread voter suppression.
