Way more than I ever saw for Hillary/whoever. I also see barely any Trump signs. (I know district 1 has stuff outside of Lincoln, but no one is thinking this could be competitive, but it could be.) Lincoln makes up less than half of the 1st district's population, and the rest of the district leans strongly towards the Republicans historically. Nobody's focusing on NE-1st because if Biden does well enough to win there, then he'll be overperforming by enough to win multiple red states nobody expects him to compete in. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

It'll be super stressful, there's nothing much we can to change the outcome (even potential protests against Trump shenanigans wouldn't happen until Wednesday), and the media probably won't be able to call a winner before the night ends anyway.

Depends on who you mean. Trump is exactly what Republican voters want, but the party leadership is only sticking with Trump because he's more popular than them. The reason their only stated goals are "whatever Trump wants" is because even their own voters hate most of the GOP's real policy goals. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

Well like he says, if they get 5% that actually gets them something moving forward as far as access to the mainstream political stage Yes, but they have no chance of getting that many votes this year. Gary Johnson in 2016 was by far the most successful Libertarian presidential candidate ever, and even in a year when most vote thought the main party candidates were both garbage he still only got just over 3%. Jorgensen is so weak that she's not even being included in most polls, but the ones that do suggest she's not going to match Johnson's performance. Sure, I guess throwing your vote away in a state where the winner's a complete lock isn't an awful thing, but let's not pretend like it's going to accomplish anything either. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

Beyond that, I don't see what's more repudiating to Trump than voting for the L in this election, since it's saying you're a conservative that is distinctly anti-Trump. Wouldn't it be more effective to vote for the candidate who can, you know, actually beat Trump? I don't think it matters what message is sent by supporting a candidate who'd be insanely lucky to hit 3% of the total popular vote. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

Third parties would totally be more successful if they were more successful. In fact, they'd win way more elections than the major parties they could just get way more votes than the major parties.

If nobody cares about non-national elections and third parties are so much better, they should be winning a lot of local/state-level elections. They do not, and it's fairly rare to see third-party candidates win any such races. What's going on there? --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

| Xeybozn 11/01/20 2:40:34 AM #214 | I could see a state being allowed to negotiate a peaceful secession, but the federal government would only agree to terms that would massively hurt the state in question. The US would have to make an example of them to dissuade other states from leaving. For what its worth, this holds even if Biden wins and a red state were to try seceding; it's funny to imagine Wyoming leaving and becoming its own country, but it's much less funny to imagine other states deciding to join them (or being forced) until the US is just the Pacific Coast and Northeast. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

No, the small state advantages were a compromise to get small states to agree to join the union. Otherwise they probably would have chosen to reject the Constitution rather than be ruled over by the larger states. Also, fun fact: The founders originally thought that most presidential elections would be decided by Congress. They figured nobody would get a majority in the Electoral College most of the time. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

It's a thread, most of the story is in the next few tweets. I'll save you the trouble of actually going to Twitter: See all these pickup trucks with Trump flags? They were sitting along I-35, waiting to ambush the Biden/Harris campaign bus as it traveled from San Antonio to Austin. These Trump supporters, many of whom were armed, surrounded the bus on the interstate and attempted to drive it off the road. They outnumbered police 50-1, and they ended up hitting a staffers car. The police refused to help. When I flagged down one officer, he said his hands were tied: not my jurisdiction. He was wearing a blue stripe bandana. Understandably, though nobody was hurt, the rest of the tour was cancelled. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

Warnock will win for sure, but it is extremely dubious that he'll break 50% I wonder how much Trump refusing to concede would help Democrats in the Georgia Senate runoff election(s). Opposing Trump is the biggest motivator for Democratic voters this year, after all. If Trump clearly loses to Biden and Senate control comes down to the Georgia runoff election, it might be better for the GOP to unite against whatever insanity Trump tries to pull.

I think this is going to happen no matter how or when results come in (well, not if he wins, but) Probably, but he'll get more support for it if the election is actually close (or at least looks close). Like, if the election is a huge blowout and the media calls Texas and Ohio for Biden before most people wake up on Wednesday, would anyone who matters argue that Trump was cheated out of a victory? If Biden can hit 270 EC votes by Wednesday night or so, Trump's odds of lawyering his way to a win are almost zero. Also, Trump will totally complain that the election was rigged against him even if he wins. He still whines about how 2016 results were illegitimate. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

But if Trump's leading in MI on Election Night (unlikely, but not impossible) and the election isn't 100% clinched, then he'll probably try to stop the count, challenge the final results, and just do everything he can to drag things out even longer. Add in the fact that the courts are stacked in his favor and I doubt anyone would feel super confident about Biden's chances. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |

It was her last name and the fact that the entire Democratic Party rolled over to give her the nomination. I always thought Bill was kind of a sleezy dude (Not from lewinsky, but his adamant lying and defense about it among other things) and I always thought Hillary stayed married to him for political reasons. I could see an argument that Johnson would have been a better president than Hillary, but he had no chance to actually win the election.

There was virtually no movement in the polls, but her odds still went up about 7% (with Trump's odds going down the same amount). I remember a lot of other political predictors were mocking them for having Trump's odds so high, so it almost seems like they just went in and manually played with the model until they got "better" results. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! |
