This is absolutely correct and Iā€™m being totally irrational. Donā€™t know what to do about that. Going grocery shopping right now, so maybe that will take my mind off of it.

So, as a European Iā€™m gonna go to sleep for a couple hours and plan to be checking in at 10PM EST (which is 4am my time) - if I see that Florida isnā€™t called red by then, itā€™s basically already over, right? I at least remember Florida being very fast at counting ballots.

(or PA being called blue, I guess)

Pluto has free streaming coverage.

Feeling confident. But to tamp down my own excitement a bit, Iā€™ll reiterate that high turnout isnā€™t necessarily good for Harris. In fact, itā€™s been better for Trump in the past, which is why Harris does better in LV screens. Pollsters think low propensity voters are good for Trump.

If turnout is truly high, itā€™ll depend entirely on who the ā€œextraā€ voters turn out to be. I personally think thereā€™s some reason to believe the trend will reverse and weā€™ll see more low propensity youngs and women this time due to Roe being overturned. But in general I think high turnout probably means high variance. Will be interesting.

German Der Spiegel has a clickable swing state decision tree on their homepage:

Seems like all major networks have free live coverage on youtube.

They are fast at counting, but the AP didnā€™t call it until around 12:30 am EST in 2020.

checking in from Europe, Iā€™m at a work retreat this week, several US colleagues, all have said they expect a Trump win, probably as cope mechanism (I didnā€™t mention the Selzer poll to avoid outing myself as a weirdo)

taking a sleeping pill now, hopefully waking up to good news in a few hours, gl everyone

Rain started so I doubt there will be much excitement outside the the convention center for right now.

FL will be called red quickly regardless of who wins.

I hate myself for doing this.

I need data, and even if the data is laced with fentanyl, I still need it!
