I was only half paying attention. It was an old science friday npr pod. Some scientist was presenting research on precisely how baleen whales specifically make their calls. The host asked why itā€™s taken this long to understand this. His response was basically ā€œwe have a hard time getting intact tissue because once a whale beaches it tends to start decomposing very quicklyā€. While driving in my car I audibly said ā€œand youā€™ve also got to beat RFK to the beach before he steals the head.ā€

MSNBC calling NC gov for the good guys. Robinson was such a bad candidate that I donā€™t think it says much about the Trump/Harris race, but Iā€™m glad that the Ds will continue to lead the state.

because the republican party provides targets ā€œlowerā€ than them, people will tolerate a lot as long as they have someone to look down upon

to some degree the dems do this too but in different ways. you could ask a similar q, why do many wealthy people end up voting dem?

Cobb County GA (giant, diverse suburb) just dropped 55% of their votes

Margin up <1 for Harris.

Turnout up 15%.

Yep, senate is gone

this guy you all love with the khaki pants just told me NC is looking better? is he lying to me?

Fulton up to +44 with 77% in. A slight improvement.

Cobb was +13 for Biden so that is a slight gain also.

Weā€™ve learnt that for sure. Tribalism and punching down is a big political winner.

I was going to google ā€œman famous for wearing khaki pantsā€ and make a joke about why that guy would know shit about elections but the google search turned up Steve Kornacki. Heā€™s probably right, Iā€™d trust him.

Trump 63/38 on PI now.

Iā€™m surprised itā€™s not (incorrectly) higher honestly

Kamala could easily come back in GA but 300k votes is pretty significant with how much of Fulton is already in.

I was doing this, but didnā€™t notice my wife tried sexting me and now my marriage is on the rocks.

I made this mistake but then immediately replied back with ā€œcollaborate and listen. Ice is back with a brand new invention.ā€

I smashed.

Itā€™s too hard to think that way. You have to compare 2020 county level results with 2024, then compare turnout. Itā€™s hard to find many that are solidly pro-Trump.

Unless thereā€™s a systemic bias in the votes being shown thus far, I feel solid about Georgia.
