This thread is for the Presidential election, my plan is to start marking wins as soon as they are called, sorted by time zone.
Some states are going to take longer than others. Polls generally close at 8 PM local time, but they can’t start counting early/mail in votes until after the polls close.
Wisconsin in particular has an interesting system where ballots are collected by MUNICIPALITY, not precinct, they have over 1,800 ballot counting locations and don’t report until ALL 1,800 are in.

11 PM Eastern / 8 PM Pacific
(D 54 EC Votes) California - Called For Harris
(D 12) Washington - Called For HarrisI am extremely troubled for the future of America. Not because of the current election results; but that this many Americans think Trump was and will be a good president. It’s infuriating the amount of single issue voters there are in the US.
It looks like people think Trump will fix the economy since that is the leading issue in exit polls. Massive trade wars are going to make the inflation of the last 2 years look mild. Americans are deeply stupid.
Yeah it’s daft.
Every Trump voter interviewed says something like “yeah he’s not perfect but I’m concerned about the economy”.
What they actually mean is that they have no idea how the economy works but Trump makes them feel better about hating minorities.
this many Americans think Trump was and will be a good president.
I think fewer people think this than think trump and his ignoring rules and laws is their ticket to power and influence for their cause and thing that trump is a means that is justified by the end.
The funny part is that all but maybe a handful of those people are going to be the ones under the boot, rather than the one wearing it.
I think we need to stop wondering why Republicans are doing so well and with that, lamenting that just over half of the
minorityvoting population in this country will proudly vote for open fascists; stop imagining voters in the middle who are going to magically defect from the right if Democrats outflank them on the right’s own invented issues; and start asking ourselves whose votes the Democrats are actually campaigning for if not ours.
RFK in charge of HHS and Leon in charge of gutting the new deal. Jesus Christ.
EPA gone.
Fight against climate change over.
SCOTUS justice Aileen Cannon.
No fault divorce gone.
National abortion ban.
Free speech destroyed.
Ukraine gone.
Gaza gone.
NATO alliance gone.
U.S. economy wasted.
U.S. military in the streets.
National concentration camps.
LOL. Wtf, Americans?
I can’t believe we’re a few votes away from having a stooge at the helm and an anti vaxxer as the head of the CDC and FDA.
This fucking hurts.
And don’t forget that Herschel Walker will be a DoD lead.
I was trying to :(
Yeah. But we need to squarely focus the blame on Harris, the campaign, the apologists who excused some of here deeply unpopular positions, and disallowed the dissent that tried to bring her to more popular positions.
In the previous 6 elections, the candidate that ran as an anti-elite populist won.
This will make 7 (if Trump wins).
There’s a lot of blame to go around.
-Americans who tolerate and accept Trump’s behavior.
-Biden for not calling it sooner and letting a proper candidate emerge. Harris was the best at the last minute but there should have been actual primaries.
-Harris for not swinging for the fences and playing it safe.
arming a genocide and going in on anti-crime and -migrant rhetoric is “playing it safe” jfc
Yes, yes it is.
Most of America wants to curb immigration.
Most of America backs Israel or doesn’t care.
We must be watching different elections and your version must have historic turnout, since americans are so enthusiastic about deporting immigrants and flattening gaza, no?
Cause in mine I just see two unpopular candidates except one of them has cultivated a delusional cult to propel them forward and the other has the american electorate convinced that being evil is non-negotiable.
What about the people that were protesting war crimes outside her rallies? No blame for them?
Maybe she should have listened to what they had to say.
It doesn’t appear to have mattered. I know it’s an issue important to a lot of people here, but changing her stance on it would not have moved the needle. It literally comes down to inflation and xenophobia. And the billionaires putting their thumb on the scale as hard as they can.
And housing if you want to separate that out from inflation.
You have no way of knowing that because anti-genocide voters basically didn’t show up. You dont know what you didn’t measure.
Yeah. They didn’t show up. They literally don’t count. That is political irrelevance.
Democratic apologism and cognitive dissonance, name a more iconic duo.
You have no way of knowing that because anti-genocide voters basically didn’t show up.
how do you know what they did?
This is the kind of delusional thinking that cost Harris the election. That you could just “abuse” people into accepting a genocide.
You, this specific kind of thinking, this is what is to blame for Harris’s loss.
Well when every single Palestinian is dead or displaced and Gaza is annexed into Israel by February you be sure to cling to that moral high ground!
Just keep blaming the voters instead of having an iota of introspection. It worked real well for the Harris campaign.
Go read my other comment. You think messaging on Gaza would have made a difference because your are historically illiterate. War is coming. Pick a fucking side.
I mean, Harris is in the unenviable position of having to get the support of both conservatives and leftists at the same time (because the democratic party is an awkward hodgepodge of much of what passes for the left in the US, people who mostly just want to not be discriminated against, and people who fundamentally are conservatives but feel like the republicans go too far or dislike their stance on one thing or another.) It is nigh impossible to not have some unpopular positions if you’ve got to try to maintain the support of groups of people that sometimes want mutually exclusive things, and can afford to lose neither, because no position in that instance is truly that popular.
I know Lemmy likes to think that if she only adopted all of their positions, she’d win in a landslide, and if Lemmy was the electorate that’d probably be the case, but to be perfectly frank, I’m far from the most far left person I encounter here routinely, and I’m already in the position of not knowing a single other person irl that agrees with me on a number of my stances. The issue for Harris isn’t that she tries to get votes from conservatives, she in order to win, she has to win some amount of them, the US is too conservative a country to avoid that, it’s that at the end of the day, Trump has a cult following, and a lot of people that like him. He might seem “easily beatable” because he does crap that would sink someone else, but he really isn’t, having that many motivated followers is a huge asset in elections.
Isn’t the blatantly obvious answer to “who is to blame for Trump getting elected?”, assuming that he ultimately does, the people that voted for Trump?
Unenviable position my ass. She campaigned like ass and tried to court Republicans and got goose eggs to show for it.
No more fucking excuses. Trump has always been the singularly most beatable opponent in politics.
Inflation killed her. It’s the economy. You have to send the message that you’re going to make things better. Numbers don’t help here. What matters is what people’s bank account is like.
She didn’t say shit about it. He did.
“I wouldn’t do anything different than Joe Biden”
–Kamala Harris
He went to black barbershops and McDonald’s. Where the hell was she? I’m sorry, but this fucker was the most beatable candidate ever and it’s close.
That’s fucked up.
The Democrats couldn’t beat a moldy ham sandwich now. They lost to Trump twice and the 3rd time running was at his weakest and dumbest.
If there’s history books in the future, I want it known how badly they fucked up and gave the Orange Moron the keys back to the white House.
In reality it’s both the campaign and the voters. But it’s easier to just blame voters. Lemmy/Reddit will down vote anything that goes against that narrative: but as we just saw, Internet echo chambers do not determine reality.
Pretty god damn sad that American are this fucking racist and stupid.
Trump kills a million Americans with Covid and they put him back in office. Unreal.
Texas waited until the 29th of October to mail out my ballot. As of today (November 3rd), I have yet to receive it. I fully expect Texas to fuck me over.
That’s crazy late to mail it OUT. Too late even to mail it back. You’ll have to either find a drop box or hand deliver it to county elections HQ.
If you don’t get it in time, you can always vote in person.
I can’t because I am currently out of state. I believe the cutoff is the post mark date. Still, if it doesn’t arrive tomorrow, they fucked me…and my wife.
Oh, maybe the out of state re-direct caused the delay? Trying to think of a best case scenario here…
There’s not one. The Texas election officials and DeJoy did this intentionally.
I signed up for the ballots in August because I knew I’d be out of state at the time. It is pure fuckery to mail them out on the 29th.
They should be prosecuted for election interference
And sued for election disenfranchisement.
Is there any kind of online source to print it out?
My parents printed their Arizona ballots from an online link. We’re all out of the country. However AZ seems to be taking the polar opposite approach to voting. But please check if there’s anything available.
Everything is rigger in Texas
Well damn. This is as much a referendum on the character of America. What a searing indictment that it’s even close at all.
This is as much a referendum on the character of America. What a searing indictment that it’s even close at all.
Exactly. No matter who wins.
I call it a general intelligence test for the nation … and even before its over, everyone already failed.
No, 50% of America failed the test. The rest of us did our part
Nah … you’re lumped into the whole mess like everyone else. None of you who think you did your part spoke out enough or made your voice heard enough not just at this election but in every moment in between elections when complete stupidity was being presented as the norm.
You deserve what you get because you didn’t fight hard enough for what you wanted.
It’s so disappointing that the rest of us in the world all have to deal with your stupidity.
None of you who think you did your part spoke out enough or made your voice heard enough not just at this election but in every moment in between elections when complete stupidity was being presented as the norm.
You hear that, pregnant women who are now going to die, trans youth, and minorities or any kind? Ininewcrow thinks you’re to blame for your own demise, no matter how you voted.
Missouri passes a statewide abortion protection which will be overturned next year by the guy they voted for President.
Brilliant!
Put a fork in human civilization. It’s done. The door is closed on climate change.
So this is what we are as a nation?
Thanks America, for the hell you’re about to unleash.
I have young kids… My wife always asks me if bringing them into this world was a mistake. I was always the optimist telling her I didn’t think it so. Now I don’t know what to feel. What are they going to do… Ugh. This is a waking nightmare. I’m scared.
