My kid reminded me that this town went 6-0 for Haley in the primary. If 50% of primary voters defect to Harris, it is going to be a very long night for Trump.

At the same time, the town went 5-0 for Biden in 2020, so if Trump is able to flip 3/5 Biden voters to himself, Harris is going to have a very long night.

...and I switched to a Fox News link in protest of CNN's awful story linkage where you lose the story in a "live" thread and their new subscriber only content is annoying.

Yeah, their registration was 4 R, 2 I, 0 D, and they had 3 Harris voters.

When I voted on Saturday, I started hearing occasional loud cheering once I got inside the precinct (a library). The first time I heard it, I asked someone what was happening. The cheers were for first time voters. I think I cheered 3x while casting my ballot. Cool, right?

The University of Maine's sports teams are the Black Bears. There are plenty of black bears in Maine.

Hmmm. I swear the front page article said Brown Bears. Maybe my eyes deceived or it was changed.


Yes. There are black bears all over the east coast!

It did, and it was changed. And it also annoyed me more than it should, especially with some of the other nonsense on the front page in recent past.

What!?! The front page referred to the University of Maine as the Brown Bears? I'm glad I didn't see it, I would have been offended on their behalf.
 
Not feeling good at all about this election. I fear the 7/1 margin of those thinking Harris will win tonight (according to the DBR poll) may be in utter shock later tonight. I'm not happy about all the early Republican voting because as of late the GOP has pushed day of voting. Steven and I had a discussion about this and he's sure Dems will easily outpace Republicans today, but I'm concerned the opposite will be true. We'll see.

Also not confident that the Women vote necessarily means that a solid percentage of GOP Haley-type women will automatically swing over and vote for Kamala Harris. What if they just leave the President portion of their ballot blank? That could happen.

We could know who's going to win early *if* Harris takes either/both of Georgia and NC. If that happens, it's game over. On the other hand, if both those states are called for Trump early we'll have to sweat it out a bit longer. And if any of the 3 upper Midwest swing states go for Trump (say we hear he wins Michigan by 10/11 PM tonight) then it's over as well.

The only swing state I think is NOT in play is AZ. I'm confident that will go to Trump. Kinda think NV will ultimately go to Trump as well, unless the Abortion Blue wave is super strong. In that case, Harris will win big.

For those that follow him, bouzy has his final prediction with a Kamala landslide (including Florida) and Dems getting to 50 senate seats.

I'd almost be willing to bet 10/1 pies on that NOT happening. I'm pretty sure that no matter what else, Trumpy Florida is going to stay Red tonight. Would love to be wrong, but since I'm still in pessimism mode I have to call baloney on that prediction.
 
Today's the day. Mods, thank you for putting up with us for so long. This thread has been my go to for news on the election. I appreciate the knowledge and jokes from all the posters.

I hope we have a safe and peaceful next couple of months. All the pie winners, make sure you don't eat it all at one sitting, you don't want to catch the diabetes.
