The college vote has completely collapsed if the GOP is carrying Alachua (Gainesville/UF). I wonder if Leon (Tallahassee/FAMU/FSU)

I doubt it. Leon County is the home of the Florida government and hence full of Democrats. I still planning on voting later in the evening though.

Remember there is no college vote this year in many places; Kids are either staying home to do online classes or are in complete lockdown zones. So no surprise there.
 
Got in line 30 minutes before the polling station opened. I counted 12 men and 9 women before I went through the doors, I was the youngest person. This is an upper middle class mostly white/jewish town in a deep blue district with a history of dem fraud. I don't want to extrapolate from those numbers anything, but regardless I'm happy I got my vote in, on election day, for Donny boy.

My post-college student vote relied for nothing on democrat campus shenanigans. But without being in person on campus, it's tough to tell how many of my peers are voting today/have voted already.
 

Wouldn't surprise me if Philly has polling stations with 100% straight blue tickets. Obvious answer os they're trying yo coup Trump. But I think this might be something else.

I know I Jeep comparing the american left with the spanish right and It can get annoying. But here's a new one:

As some know, the PP here in Spain got assreamed by corruption cases starting in 2007 and leading yo the death of the 2 party system. Well what most omit is why this started: quite simple, Valencia and the Balear Islands flipped, and many Intel that has already been suspected (first whistleblower actually started tattling on 2005) got corroborated. The PP was already infamous for leaving bags filled with cut papera behind every time they left the station. But come 2007 they could not Crush paper fast enough.

Seriously these 2 fotos are of a single Office, what was outside and what was on the corridor respectively, the year Podemos got Madrid, look at this shit:

Point is. Loosing regional posts may not look like much from the ellection standpoint, but one must remember than one of the largest sources of early Intel leading to the opening of the Gurtel case here in Spain was the fucking municipality of MENORCA, one of the smallest and least ellectorally relevant áreas. (Btw, that is why It was called Gurtel. Wikipedia points out it was named that way due to Correa being the mame of the "Hunter Bien" of the case, Correa in spanish meaning Belt, which means Gurtel in Germán. But then goes on to claim there was no relation to the language. They're wrong. It was named that way due to the Balears being referred to jokingly as "little Germany" due to all the tourism, which has to be one of the BEST indicators that clownworld didn't start on 2016. It had been a long time coming. Imagine societal unrest leading to the end of the political establishment being literally caused by a case named after a joke... Welcome to Spain mofos.)

So yeah, I have to wonder if the reason Philly is this scared of Trump winning there has nothing to do with the presidency itself and everything to do with them knowing what kinda skeletons their closet Judea and what'll happen if Trump gets his hands on them.
 
There's a contested race for Public Service Commission in my state and there's an interesting candidate.

Incumbent is a Repub who unsuccessfully ran for Lt. Gov in 2018. Challenger is a Dem. Both women. Incumbent is older woman while Dem looks like a Karen.

I was looking at the Dem's website and she did something that is sending red flags to me. So she's all about solar power right? I like the idea of utilizing solar power if we can in some areas but it's not reliable enough for total coverage. She apparently started livestreaming the PSC (which she thinks is evil and greedy or something) meeting via Facebook and got kicked out for it. She did not have permission to do this. She sued and I think the case is ongoing. She claims the PSC not allowing her to stream the meeting is a violation of a state law allowing the public to witness something, but the argument is that the PSC isn't a completely public entity like a city council so they have the right to refuse recording, which they are refusing. This is an "in a nutshell" and TBH I've not looked deep into it.

So from what I gather she did not ask permission, did it anyway, got kicked out, and is throwing a tantrum. To me, that displays a level of willingness to decieve. I have no idea how good her intentions may have been of course, but I don't think this is a good look. This is a Public Service Commission meeting, not a "10 Days in a Slaughterhouse" corrupt asylum or something.
Thoughts?

Might this be caused by lockdowns and closed campuses having most students just not in the area? I don't know how open most US universities are but I'd assume there's been a push to close campuses and go online so there wouldn't really be a need for students to actually be near their universities. If their universities are anything like my local ones they acted as voting locations for students and made it very easy to just drop into vote between/after classes, with that gone its probably impacted turn out numbers.

Surprise? No. But it's still good to see it actually happen and it makes me more confident our other predictions are just as good.

If news organizations declare Joe Biden the mathematical president-elect, he plans to address the nation as its new leader, even if President Trump continues to fight in court, advisers tell Axios.

Why it matters: Biden advisers learned the lesson of 2000, when Al Gore hung back while George W. Bush declared victory in that contested election, putting the Democrat on the defensive while Bush acted like the winner.

So if Biden is declared the winner, he'll begin forming his government and looking presidential — and won't yield to doubts Trump might try to sow.

  • Biden's schedule for Tuesday includes a clue to this posture: He "will address the nation on Election Night in Wilmington, Delaware."
Biden campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon told reporters Monday that even if all the votes aren't counted tonight, the campaign should have "a very good sense of where we're headed":

  • "We're not really concerned about what Donald Trump says. ... We're going to use our data, our understanding of where this is headed, and make sure that the vice president is addressing the American people."
To show momentum, Biden may begin transition announcements quickly, starting with senior staff appointments.

  • That way, core aides won't have to worry about their own jobs, but will immediately be able to get to work.
Biden plans to adopt what one confidant called "a healing tone," and begin talking about the path forward in battling the coronavirus.

  • Look for Biden to embrace science, and talk up the role of Dr. Anthony Fauci, after Trump threatened Sunday to try to fire the trusted official.
From there, the transition would move with unprecedented speed:

  • Biden had eight years in the White House, and he's surrounded by aides with decades of government experience.
  • So the transition has made the most thorough agency-by-agency preparations in history, including offices no one's thinking about.
Biden has blueprints for staffing every single agency, and has extensive plans for executive orders, including ones to undo Trump actions.

  • Look for Biden to send all-business signals: He won't pack the courts, and is unlikely to push for repeal of the Senate's filibuster rule and its 60-vote requirement anytime soon.
  • Instead, look for Biden to push to pass as much as possible under the banner of budget reconciliation, which requires just a simple majority.

It’s treason then...
One thing that worries me is if theoretically Trump wins, the news will still report Biden winning the election?

Could this scenario happen?
Yes, I could see that.

The alphabet networks won't call it today unless voters come out for Trump in an absolute landslide and there's not a chance that late voting will change things. They'll drag it out as much as they can.
