I have no good feeling one way or another and will be surprised if either wins. I think Harris will overperform in states like NC/VA/GA where a lot of republicans hate Trump and black voters will get out to vote, but underperform in the rustbelt and south west.

The fact this isn't a landslide and this game of "guess the razor thin margins" is even a thing gives me no hope for the future. Ugh.

This is going to be contentious. I am not looking forward to this one.

Electoral College results - 270-268 - Trump
Who takes White House as president - Trump
Popular Vote results - 50.1% Harris, 48.9 Trump, 1% Stein/other
Senate split- 48, 1, 51 - Osborn wins Nebraska
House split - 220-215 Republican

Swing State Winners
Arizona - Harris
Georgia - Trump
Michigan - Harris
Nevada - Harris
North Carolina - Trump
Pennsylvania - Trump
Wisconsin - Harris

Polling bias of .5% for the republicans except for areas with abortion measures on the ballot which swing 3 points Democrat. This results in a Trump win 270/268. Hope I’m wrong

I got a late upset with Meteor coming down to provide an undisputed winner.

It hasnt happened yet

IMO Trump is losing by a much larger amount than anticipated. Polls and odds were rigged.

Razor thin means she’s not smoking him and could only win be a few votes in some places.

Electoral College results - 283-255


Who takes White House as president - Trump

Popular Vote results - 51-49 Harris thanks to the west coast

Senate split- 52-48 GOP

House split - 218-217 Democrat



Swing State Winners


Arizona - Trump

Georgia - Trump

Michigan - Harris

Nevada - Trump

North Carolina - Trump

Pennsylvania - Trump

Wisconsin - Harris



Any other upset you want to predict - No upsets. Trump underperforms in the early polling and the election is called “fairly” early at 12:30am. Georgia returns should be quick thanks to the rules around their early vote counting.



And a brief summary of your rational.


I don’t have a preference, although, a Trump win will make for better TV over the next 4 years. I also think people over estimate the value of the celebrity influence. When it comes down to it, do people really care how Beyoncé and Harrison Ford vote? If so, it’s a sad state of affairs. Trump always underperforms in polling and if they are calling it a dead heat.. I’d rather be in his position tonight. In 2016 he was behind over 4 points in the aggregate the night before, behind in every poll. In 2020 he was 8.4 points behind Biden the night before and lost by only 3.5. Harris needs the gap to be at least 4. Being even or 1 point ahead is nothing considering she’ll run up the score in only a few heavily populated states.

Spoiler tagging the images would be nice.

Zero chance Trump wins the election.

I'd be shocked if there is a winner tomorrow. There will be weeks of rhetoric and BS.

The only good thing is that the election ads will stop.

Trump wins:
Arizona
Florida
Georgia
Iowa
Nevada (narrowly)
North Carolina
and crucially, Pennsylvania in a squeaker

Harris wins:
Michigan (mostly due to Bill Clinton's work there over the last month)
New Hampshire
Virginia
Wisconsin

Obviously Harris wins the popular vote, and a record is set for turnout.

Harris wins Bucks County, PA.
Trump wins Erie County, PA.
Harris wins Kent County, MI, comfortably.
Trump wins Pinellas County, FL, very comfortably.
Harris wins Maricopa County, AZ, by a tiny margin.

I think the final electoral count will be 287-251 for Trump. Very hopeful that Harris can somehow pull it off in Pennsylvania to win 270-268.

I'm not into politics, but what's interesting about this one is people are super passionate about supporting Trump or being against him. I don't think a lot of people truly love Kamala. They just don't like Trump. Not exactly a great endorsement.


Personally I wish Americans got away from this quasi-celeb obsession with people running for office. Both these candidates are bums if you ask me. Neither would be particularly good at running an economy. Bring forth a nerd.

Iowa does indeed go to Harris to give her some breathing room.

Women save the day for America. Their votes give the edge to Harris and send the felon/rapist/racist home forever.

Senate 50/50? What are you smoking? There is literally no way Jon Tester wins in Montana. Jim Justice is going to win Joe Manchin's seat in West Virginia by thirty points!
