If it’s in the nYtimes map now then it’s old.
Seriously though fuck this shit. It’s like getting graded out by Pro Football Focus touts that randomly check boxes because, well, actually nobody knows why but that’s what they’ve always done and the checks keep rolling in. There’s no reason to do any more than the absolute minimum you are required to do. If your performance is adequate then it sounds like they’re just trying to psychologically manipulate you into doing more work for free.

Yeah, even if Biden ultimately doesn’t win, him going likely was the slight amount needed to force two runoffs.

Idk, the numbers are just as up to date as I’m seeing anywhere else.
On that note, looks like approx 3100 new votes in Armstrong County. They’re 77% Trump. The new votes broke 1900 Biden, 1200 Trump.

Yep, best analogy I can make is that we always knew we were getting points from the mail-in vote, and our points always covered the spread. We’ve never been in a situation where we were not covering the spread. Never on Tuesday, never yesterday, not now.
Pretty sure the vote tallies on NYT are updated in real time when the SoS site gets them. It’s their “% reporting” number that was screwed up.
Huh? They’re pretty fast aren’t they?
Pretty much same here since it won’t affect my non-existent raise anyway.

And also helps with more states open to Biden reduces the amount Trump can focus on one or two states. Narrative definitely different than it would be.
Their judicial bench is looking great for decades!

One of the most annoying things about the various news outlet maps is that they have different numbers. Shouldn’t they all be referencing each respective state’s SoS or elections official as the source of truth? I guess they are trying to “get the scoop” on the updates which leads to different numbers…
lol @ performance reviews when there’s not going to be raises. “Yeah I’ll definitely work super hard this year so that I can receive nothing”

I watched his presser. He was incredible. Could probably run for higher office. Didn’t take shit from anybody and laid out all the facts.
Well technically I was asked to do POC X. But then when I say “well there’s POC Y - should I work on that first?” She says, “I don’t care, work on whatever you want.” So of course neither get done.
There’s always other little stuff to do as well. But the main problem is I have a big vague set of long-term solo proejcts that are no rush and no immediate concern about whether they get done. Nothing motivates me less. I’m actually happy when my boss finally gets in my grill about doing something because I know she actually cares if it gets done.
I just explained to my boss tuesday that the election is a huge distraction for me and he understands, I think. Also falling behind.

Their polling/analyis of their polling appears to have been very good. They mostly stayed out of TX and let Beto do his thing, they were very aggro in GA and NC, they stayed on point in the blue wall. They dabbled in OH, but not much. That was their only questionable move, and it might have just been a gap in Biden’s schedule they decided to fill in.

All I wish for is a Fox News tweet calling the race for post #10000 ITT.

Oh yeah the election my boss is saying the same thing, can’t focus.
One thing I saw from a democratic observer is where he was at, the republicans were baselessly challenging every single vote as it was counted.
Plus I think a lot of votes are ones that require extra processing for a number of reasons.
It is agonizing. But I had a cnn / Fox News mash up earlier and it was pure joy. CNN was just talking about vote counts, and Fox News was just cutting to press conferences of random Americans crying about fraaaud. Was literal symphony.
