shocking that Trump is trying to capitalize on this
Lol trump using the word determinative.
0% chance he wrote any of that and when he read it he was too embarrassed to ask what that word meant.
It’s a perfectly cromulent word.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we were simply unable to run large elections in this country anymore. Just tons of nepotism and budget cut obsession everywhere.

Remember when the US would travel around and teach other countries how to run elections and act as monitors. Those were the days.

New unofficial results show Adams winning narrowly in round 9: https://web.enrboenyc.us/rcv/024306_9.html
Looks like 65k voters with Wiley as their first choice did not include Garcia (or Adams) as a lower rank choice. That’s many more votes than the final margin between Adams and Garcia. Sad!
pretty sure that doesn’t have absentees
but lol at garcia over wiley by just a few hundred votes 226575 to 226922
also this makes garcia the favorite, she’s 2-1 on PI, the final screen didn’t change from what I can tell.
So they haven’t counted mail ins yet right? Won’t they have to start from the beginning in terms of the ranked choice once the mail ins come in? What if Maya would have beaten Garcia in the penultimate round?
yes, this is stupid and confusing they did RCV before they were actually done
If maya beats garcia, adams wins. There are a bunch of wiley->garcia votes. Don’t see how that margin is possible in the reverse. This probably won’t happen tho. I guess PI has that at 10%.
edit–basically wiley’s precincts don’t have the absentee #'s that garcia’s do.
We’re seeing the flaw of RCV, it adds an element of complication that people can fuck up and turns into a bigger mess if it ends up a close election.
PI back to Adams as a slight favorite. I stubbornly decided to hodl my Adams shares at an average cost of like 85c. Probably just gonna keep holding, fuck it.
Adams back up to 0.70 on PI with updated vote tallies due out sometime soon. (Apparently before 1:30pm Eastern time)
I am really enjoying these new fangled elections we are having. What a ride! Still think I would prefer a round robin or best of seven kind of set up. Maybe next time.
Adams wins < 10k over Garcia. (with 4ish k left needing to be cured or w/e it is) Unless they messed up yet again anyway
403333 (50.5%)
394907 (49.5%)
85c was a bad bet obviously but you won and I lost so lol me Should’ve realized it when the garcia pumpers in the comments flipped the other way.
Feel like trying to flip some cheap Garcia just based on uncertainty and rumors and the possibility of a recount
seems too far back for that to me
but 1% on they fucked it up again? is a better lotto
Yea, feels like I just hit a gutter on the river after making a hilariously bad misread and getting straight-up owned

ahhhh, she didn’t campaign with yang till late (ploy worked, wouldn’t have passed wiley without it and lol yang doing that for absolutely nothing in return) and a lot of those absentee ballots were done early, that’s why I overestimated how many she’d get. Definitely thought it would’ve been within recount margin and it’s not.
