She is in a better position than Hillary at the corresponding stage 8 years ago. She is looking good in Virginia, PA, and Michigan. All she has to do is bring home Wisconsin and she's home and dry.

(1,611 posts)Pennsylvania was looking grim but it had more reporting than we're seeing right now.
The truth is, we don't have a clue where this is shifting. It's possible when all the votes are tallied, Harris does worse than Hillary.
It's also possible she holds on and wins the Blue Wall states.

(1,367 posts)Red areas tend to come in strongly initially. Keep the faith!

(38,232 posts)Add up the electoral votes of states that haven't called her win. They don't add up to the 158 more EC's she needs.
AZ, NV, OR, NC are not sure wins.
If it's the wait for mail in ballot counts to finalize the count, it's nerve wracking.

(2,560 posts)barely enough. And if my math is right, she has to run the table. I'm sorry but I don't see it happening. Just being factual.

(69 posts)... so the red votes tend to be counted early, so it looks like a state is going red when it's not.
it's especially true in cases like wisconsin, where early and absentee votes can't be counted or even processed until election day, making a delay.
also - smaller and rural counties are smaller so they tend to report quicker. and rural is often red.

(31,999 posts)I have been looking at the results on the NC BoE site. Hundreds of thousands of votes are still to be tallied in three major Dem stronghold counties: Mecklenburg, Durham and Wake . IF the percentages hold of already counted votes in those respective countries, the possibility exists for Harris to take the lead. If you're watching MSNBC, Kornacki is NOT covering this. He's talked about small margins in small counties.
So, don't give up hope! I'm not.

(3,582 posts)PA is only ~55% in mostly red rural areas. I'm scared too but best to just turn in and wait for tomorrow. They ran a eickedly simple campain basically claiming things were better 5, 6 years ago. Insane but effective with low information voters. I tried to keep focus that t45 couldn't even have an infrastructure press conference where Joe got the two biggest domestic donestic spending bills through. Our economy is strongest in the world. But those hedge fund and private equity tax emptions are hollowing out our middle and working classes. The fillibuster has destroyed upward mobility. Now we hit peak oil and things are about to get real hectic whomever wins now.

(62,211 posts)that Harris won the county, but by a little less than Biden, means TFG is really winning, is grating on my last nerve.

Republicans are going on tv and social media saying they're voting for Harris.
Dobbs killing Roe in the supreme court, bringing women out of the woodwork.
Trump's felony conviction.
The size of the crowds.
JD Vance (and the childless cat ladies), and the whole trump team throwing in the towel over the weekend.
Someone tell me there's a wizard behind the curtain that is making trump, and all these right wing senators, win this election, and the FBI is going to sweep in and arrest the asshole.
