US Election Day 2024: Polls Open and Results

[ZenGiraffe]

Polls will start opening in a few hours. We'll get an exit poll 10pm British Clock Time but this won't project a winner, just give details on things like who is voting and what issues were important to them. Projections won't occur until about midnight BCT.

OK but what about the New York Times mini crossword??

 

[Ellie]

What happened to the poll option of “OMG NO, don’t make me choose. I’ve been burned in the past and don’t want to jinx anything”?

 

[Sheena]

Up and running but Wordle was a right cunt

My favourite observation is that this is actually closer to 50/50 than actual coin flips

 

[Lucille]

He really said I DON’T FUCKING KNOW.

Vermont has BEGUN VOTING

 

[Pingu]

Vermont has BEGUN VOTING

Someone's gunning for POTW.

I will not be announcing the other 49 states, so you still have a chance

 

[Dark Carnival]

I don’t want to predict anything, I’m too scared. I just want all this to end

 

[jivafox]

Where’s the ASTEROID?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I will not be announcing the other 49 states, so you still have a chance

HOW WILL WE KNOW THOUGH?

 

[big ron]

I'm loving the lose-lose outcome of this. Trump wins? HELLSCAPE. Trump loses? EVERYTHING BURNS.

 

[Sheena]

To be fair, I'm more looking forward to "everything burns", in the hope it means more of the lunatics are all BANGED UP for a bit.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

DO IT. Commit and be proudly wrong if need be.

 

[VoR]

Vermont has BEGUN VOTING

STOP THE COUNT!!!!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

HOW WILL WE KNOW THOUGH?

FINE.

CONNECTICUT, INDIANA, KENTUCKY, MAINE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK AND VIRGINIA, START VOTING NOW!

 

[big ron]

Oh aye, it'll be great tv.

If I use a VPN, can I do a televote from the UK?

What happens to Trump’s scheduled sentencing in NY if he wins? Will he just PARDON HIMSELF? It’s just unprecedented. No convicted felon should have even been allowed to run.

No, he can't pardon state crimes, only federal crimes.

But you get into weird territory of can you jail a sitting president so I assume it will hit the supreme court in some fashion, where he has the majority.

Some actually important states have started voting, and others we don't care about:

• Florida
• Georgia
• Illinois
• Louisiana
• Maryland
• Massachusetts
• Michigan
• Missouri
• Pennsylvania
• Rhode Island
• South Carolina
• Washington DC

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Pennsylvania really need to change their counting laws.

I voted last week but maybe I’ll go for a 2nd time today for some light voter fraud

LOCK HER UP!

Did you get a sticker?

 

[K.C.]

I'm volunteering at one of the voting locations today. My friend is running for Elected School Board.

Will keep my eyes out for any light voter fraud.

Why not commit some yourself?

Accepting foreign bribes

Put a shredder with a sign on it saying ‘Trump votes’ next to the ballot box.

Set up some abortion clinics nearby to lure the republicans away from voting

So go on what are you predictions people?

I’m going Kamala 286-252.

I’ve given her Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. Partly because I have friends and family in PA and WI and I’ll be furious if they let me down like they did in 2016.

Unfortunately I have family in PA. I’ve already disowned them because of their vile voting habits.
