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.

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.

Not a bad strategy: VT Biden won 66% to 30% 242k vs 113k - now that's a Dem state. In Kentucky is was just about flipped with Trump at 62% v 36% Trump had 1.3m v 772k. I think the real key indicator is doing that in the Dem Blue cities - Pittsburgh and Philly are supposed to be early returns, that will predict the outcome.

Same here. In 2020 I didn’t believe that a schlub like FJB had any chance at all, and then the Steal happened.

This year I intend to avoid any election news at all for as long as I can stand it. What I should do is go camping for the rest of the week, but my wife has an appointment Thursday and I will have to drive there.

Awesome!

I will watch the coverage, probably until 9 CST, with my feet on my foot massager, it’s been great at controlling my neuropathy. I’ll then take my sleeping aid and head to bed. If I stay up late, I’m groggy the next day.

Neither candidate addressed the federal debt, which is adding a trillion every 3 months. Interest on the debt now exceeds the defense budget.

A suggestion...

Turn off all media, radio, internet, TV, get some booze, a bowl of potato chips, and relax quietly because there is nothing you can do once you’ve voted. Sitting around worrying about it won’t help anything.

Disagree. It’s too much like the OJ verdict. The only difference is everyone knew it.

Think of it as a field goal at the end of the Super Bowl. Yes it’s out of our hands but it’ like drive by lookie-loos at a traffic accident.
