I’m telling you…. They are going to use these extensions as a challenge if they need to flip GA.

What network do you guys like?  I’ve always been partial to CNN because of John King. Don’t care for Wolf.  MSNBC is too partisan for me. Not criticizing them but I want something that’s not going to lead me astray so that I get hammered. I have a 6 am meeting.

they can try, but the 'in line' rule has been upheld by the courts many times.

I think you're right. Or at least they're hoping people will go home and stay there.

Somebody in a FB group I'm in shared that people in Nevada need to answer their phones, in case their ballots need to be 'cured.' Anybody who knows people from Nevada should share.

I have.

last cycle I liked the web tracker at the NYT.  Had every race down to the state legislatures - assuming they run it the same way again....

I like CNN. 

MSNBC used to be good, but it feels like they jerked to the far left in response to FOX’s jerk to the far right.

Which is — better? But still not good.

I'm not going to watch, but I remember I followed the coverage for '08 on BBC's website. When each state was called, a radio-clock like counter flipped the number of elector votes each candidate had earned. California and Texas were pretty fun to watch. I wonder if it still does that?

I read about some labor issues that

Polls closed in Indiana, and from what has been reported, Harris is over performing. Trump is still going to win but Harris doing better than Biden so far. 

[Motown Bombers]

Not sure what vote has been counted, but Hamilton County looks like a disaster for Trump.

I’m interested to see how quick some of the totals come in compared to 2020. Many states have spent time and money to improve their process

Weren't there laws to not allow mail in votes to be counted until after the polls closed,  and that's why Trump had leads evaporate - so he could make his claims? 

 

She's over performing in Indiana, eh?  

[Motown Bombers]

Michigan allows mail in ballots to be processed ahead of time. Big cities like Warren chose to do it on election day. Detroit has processed their ballots.

Obama won Indiana in 2008

Indiana went right back to being it's typical red self in 2012. Haley did well in the primary in Hamilton County and so far Harris is doing well. Still don't know what votes have been counted yet.

Harris is winning in Hamilton with more than half the vote in.

As warped as it sounds, there may be T voters who think they're saving democracy, too. 

There are a lot of them.  I heard it all the time during Covid.

Haley did well there. There may be something to the Haley>Harris voters. 

[LaceyLou]

What cities are in Hamilton County? I have a brother who lives in South Bend but have no idea what counties are where.
