Can someone normal please explain why people are posting about Trump winning? I’m pretty much an idiot at this whole thing.

The fact that Texas is still in play is mind blowing to me.

I don't know, the CNN host is really good with that touch screen and cautioning on the fact that no one knows what is going on lol

They all have a guy with a touch screen, and King is the worst of the three. He's basically just reading. Kornacki is the best at it, he has had some really insightful and obscure points. The Fox guy, whose name I don't even know, seems to know the historical outcome in every county, so he's 2nd place.

Ohio is now gone. But if it stays relatively close, that would at least bode well for the other midwest states.

In Florida, it's because Biden is an evil socialist.

Sorry to tell you, Latinos crap on Latinos too. The landscape of "minorities" is very complex.

I wonder if calling certain House races so early affects the races on the West coast where people are still voting.

He has won Florida and performed about 5 points better then polling. If this polling is correlated across the country Trump wins.

Florida is a state where they count the mail in vote early.

North Carolina has all of the mail in in and The Upshot needle is forecasting a 1-2 point win. This is about 3% better then polling which would be a slight Biden win.

So if these polling errors are consistent the race is now a coin flip.

Cubans and Venezuelans are scared of "socialism" so when that message is put in front of them they run away. Trump used that to move the Cuban vote and the Biden campaign never tried to counter it.

Central Americans are very much conservative, and once they get into the USA they spend a great deal of time making sure their counterparts from their home countries don't get in and have the same opportunities. Ironically, the border security message resonates with a lot of those voters. It's really a strange phenomena.

I’m an idiot with this stuff too, but I can tell from New Era freaking out that this is going more poorly than he expected. Outside of that, I have no idea what any of this means.
