It would be an early night.

Worried about shenanigans, particularly here in south Florida both before and after closing but hopefully I'm just being paranoid.

Cautiously optimistic here. One of the most hopeful signs is the expansion of the map. Forcing Rs to compete in so many states spreads their resources thin and lessens the odds of one corrupt state being able to toss it to the Barrett Court.

If Joe wins by 1% he isn't going to "win" Florida.

He needs to win by 3-4 points or so to get the call.

From 2016. Don't get complacent. If you haven't voted, do. If you have, make sure your friends and family do!

I know it's fun to think about their hurt feelings, but from a practical standpoint we just really need to maximize our gains in the Senate and in state offices nationwide. THEN we can start getting the things done that will help families and working people.

Surprisingly once they flip they are 100% in, quite bitter about Trump.

He reads me their posts and we laugh at how intense they are.

And Texas is a tie! That’s why Republicans are trying so hard to get a court to throw out those 127,000 drive-in votes in Houston. There’s another hearing today.

I've pretty much given up on doing anything but worrying about the election for the next two days. I'm cautiously optimistic. Hopefully I'll be celebrating with a bunch of drunk New Yorkers outside of Trump Tower in about 36 hours...

And, even though we don't need them, I want at least one of them, which would probably be GA.

I want:

The Big Orange
The Big Peach
The Big Lexington BBQ

and

The Big Brisket BBQ

I want ALL of them!

The rest look doubtful to me, this morning. After 2018, who can trust a Florida poll? They could be off by 6-7 points.

I have lived here for 48 years, in 2 different shifts, and the FL repug vote stealing machine is well oiled. We can't count on my state, too many ultra rich repugs have greased the wheels too often for me to have any hope. We need to win in enough other places that when the traditional fuckery is done in FL and WI, Joe will still win. I know that will happen. My only question is will the win be big enough to deter drumpf rw fuckery.

The actual shape of it will depend on how quickly and how badly the early returns are for Trump. I'm afraid people are going to killed and maimed.

Trump may flee the country. He is definitely not going to refuse to leave the WH, but he will seek a position where he can stir up racist violence and keep his loyalists angry and violent -- maybe a TV show broadcast from Russia?

while these polls are mostly favorable to Biden and I just checked FiveThirtyEight and are already factored in there, Nate Silver considers this pollster a lower accuracy one rating it B/C level.

Pollster publishing polls (especially the last one) trying to benchmark polls that will match voting to build credibility in the future.

All of the results are credible, but a little too perfect.

John Heilemann just said in the poll of polls that Trump is plus 2 in Florida and that Biden is more likely to win Georgia, according to the campaigns internal polling.

It’s showing Texas as a tie. I’m so hoping Texas goes to Biden and John Cornyn gets thrown out.
