How to Watch Election Night Like an Expert
The Nation ^

Posted on 11/05/2024 7:03:28 AM PST by DIRTYSECRET

When do you think we’ll know who’s won this race?

I think we could know relatively early, even if it’s a close race, unless it comes within a couple hundred votes. After 2020, [states have] made a lot of changes that allow them to count their votes very quickly. Georgia, for instance, will have most of its votes counted by election night. We’ll get a sense of what that’ll look like, I think, before midnight. States like Michigan also cast their votes fast. Pennsylvania, I think, counts votes quickly now. Arizona and Nevada are still kind of slow.

Me and my 50-year old buddy have a mutual lady friend down the street. Conservative, 70'ish and like many, doesn't go out with men. Love life is over. I suggested he host us at an election night get together and if/when Trump is declared the winner I walk home leaving him alone with her at her happiest moment. If that's not the best time to be naughty there never will another. Should he go for it?

Can I still be an expert a couple hours after I break out the Jim Beam at 5:00 PST?

Can’t do it. Can’t watch. 2020 was a hard night, can’t watch the whole thing happen again.

Nah, trust me. She’s done. If the car’s been in the garage for 10 years you can’t just restart the motor without some major work.

I'm afraid it will be just like 2020, when I went to bed it looked like Trump had won with a sizable margin, when I woke up the election had been stolen.

of course.

I met up with 2 ladies in their early 40s at the Bush center in Manhattan back in 2000.

I was 32.

They took me back to their hotel room AND THEY WERE READY TO ROCK N ROLL!!!

Then the TV said that FL couldn’t be called and Bush hasn’t won.

They got depressed and their libido went away.

But mine didn’t!!

What a depressing story lol

For at least a decade I have not watched live TV. For the most part, it’s because I detest the countless TV commercials

Election night is the only night where I may watch live TV.

I will probably find some conservative channel on YouTube and get their take on the election live.

I work from 1 PM to 9:30 PM, so a handful of states will have already been declared when I get home at 9:42 PM.

What we will need is this:

1) A list of all counties in a state and their vote count.

2) A list of those same counties in a state and their 2020 vote count.

3) This will allow measurement of over or under performance long before any network “calls” are made.

At 9 PM I’ll look at Kamala‘s percentage of votes in the early closing times states of Vermont, Indiana, ohio, Kentucky … And compare it to the percentage that Joe Biden got in in 2020. If Kamala is doing worse in those states than Biden did then Biden did then Trump will likely win.

I did it in 2016 comparing Hillary percentage versus Obama 2012, and I knew by 9 o’clock that Trump would likely win.
