If you prefer Real Clear Politics, their no-toss ups map for the presidency is at Biden 335 - Trump 203. No-toss ups senate map at 50 D's - 50 R's and 209 House D's - 182 R's with 44 toss ups.

For those that may not be familiar with the US electoral system, Presidents are elected by the Electoral College. States get a certain number of “electors” based on each state’s population (more population, more electors). Whoever gets 270 electors out of a total of 538 electors wins the presidency. In general, it is a winner-take all system, even if you win a state by 1 vote, you get all the electors for that state.

All 435 seats for the House of Representatives go to the ballot box, 218 representatives are needed for a majority.

33 Senate seats out of a 100 (plus two special elections) go to the ballot box, if the senate ends with a 50-50 split the Vice-President becomes the untying vote.

just take a breath, america

Exciting stuff. Good luck USA!

Here is the 2016 thread. Fun starts on page 15.

This will be interesting.

Got the feeling the next few months are going to be a dark moment in US history.

@ghost_of_phobos: the last 4 years have been pretty dark already.

So a continuation of this administration............

@Master_Live:

Looking at the candidates, I'm really sad that our futures are in the hands of 2 people who could literally die at any moment. God help us.

I thought the world would end in 2016. Boy was I wrong. Watched the Trump rally yesterday, tons of Latinos are voting Trump, and seriously I need to know what you guys think?

That's true of any president but we do have a line of succession.

arguably one of the most dangerous things you could do in America right now.......

Thread pinned.

Being the president of the United States is arguably the job with the highest lethality rate out there. So far, 8 out of 45 have died in office.

I do agree with what you are saying though.

@lonewolf604:

If we saw states like California turn red, then I'd say that's something huge. But Trump turning a few groups of Latinos over is nothing special. You can find plenty of African Americans voting Republican too but they don't speak for the greater population. Though I'm sure Trump would take that as an exaggerated win.

Tomorrow will be fun. I do expect an early election call tomorrow. I think trump will lose by a historically large margin tomorrow.

That would be okay with me..........let's hope.

Here's to hoping that we have an accurate count as to everyone's vote that was cast, in person, early, or mail in. This lawsuit nonsense of invalidating voting groups and methods needs to go.

lol'd

Just post this here instead of a new thread, good news though, republican voter suppression fails:

Washington (CNN)A federal judge in Texas rejected a GOP-led challenge Monday seeking to invalidate nearly 127,000 drive-thru ballots cast in the Democratic-leaning Houston area.

Hopefully, future Republican candidates will remember this loser as an example of how not to behave.

@thegreatchomp: Yea, you’re gonna need to cite a reputable source for this garbage.

You say posters on here are propagandists every day but you never cite a source, is that not a double standard?

Enjoy yourselves. I’ll come back later, either to tell liberals I told you so or celebrate with them.

I really hope America isn't stupid enough to elect Senile Joe and that racist Kamala Harris.

Hopefully we get a policy maker instead of someone who just lies about everything. Is that too much to ask?

Its going to be a Trump landslide and liberals are going to freak out because the polls told them there was no chance.

I'm hype for the meltdown xoxoxoxoxox america first <3

Fingers crossed America can escape the republican nightmare.

10 minutes until voting opens in Dixville Notch

We might get results from that town and other small towns across Coos County New Hampshire soon after.

Trump just got shutout in Dixville Notch. Biden gets all of the votes.

I had a feeling this would happen because the town rejected him in 2016 and if you assume he lost some support in coos county over the last four years you would expect Dixville Notch to be one of the places were he would lose enough votes to shut him out there. I had a feeling Dixville Notch would end up with biden winning all of the votes there or one of the voters just voting for a third party/write in.

In a matter of speaking, it could be Wednesday night or Thursday before we all hear the final results cause they all want the mail-in voters to be counted and I mean all of them!!!

In any case, I already did my early voting and deliver it to the voting polls. And Trump thinks I'm gonna mail it in the Post Office, ya right lol.

Voted early this morning and there was a line already. Now we wait and hope Americans do the right thing.

Long long lines everywhere, lets see if my decision to vote at 3:00pm pans out.

Downtown businesses are boarding up windows to prepare for any "peaceful" protesting.

A clear sign that Trump has made America great over the last four years.

Definitely will make my pay check great again with all this civil unrest overtime.

Welcome to the last scene of 2020 boys.

It ain't Trump supporters they're boarding their windows up for.

It is a shame that trump has caused so much division that people need to board up their windows... an obvious sign of a terrible leader.

The Cops are everywhere in my area. Gonna be a wild night indeed.

Which is why we need a president who is not divisive.

Hopefully cops have enough extra hours and aren't going to start nothing.
