I am tired of having to listen to all the side theories of every major news outlet and their interpretations of the votes as they come in. Is there anyone better than another to get more solid info and less bullshit?

    You can look up some exit polls but they might also not be fully accurate but give a good picture of what’ll happen. The only accurate way to get the result is to wait for the electoral committee to cunt the vote, especially in an election this tiiiiiiigtt.

    No. That isn’t how elections work. Only once polling places close will the totals begin and only on a state by state basis will the totally tally’s be known.

    Your going to have to wait about a week to know.

      Won’t stop Trump from declaring victory at noon, and have his shoving some hack, crayon transition plan at any doting media outlets that will take them, because if he can get even the most ridiculous challenge to the SCOTUS, that’s the ball game. They’ve grown far bolder at flexing their power for the wealth class than even 2000.

      The question will be how much the media indulges his clear, intentional deception as the “candidate claims victory, stay tuned for further details.”

        In terms of unbiased and factual numbers about the electoral college that isn’t part of the reporting. I like the minute to minute reporting as much as most other people. It’s just not relevant for the process.

    Not being a dick but how are the election result reporting not unbiased? They’re all using the exact same API so the numbers shouldn’t deviate as long as they’re all in sync. I’m sure as shit not tuning into a network news station so sorry for the ignorance.

        Lol why wouldn’t they just show both years on this demographic? What’s the point of have the api for the live streaming data in the text but not in the graphic? To quote the retired NoSho league MVP Shoarsie, “Sodumb.”

        Edit: OH FUUUUUUUUUUUCK ^IM ^THE ^ONE ^WHO ^IS ^SODUMB, ^I ^SEE ^IT ^NOW

        Good lord that was midleading for a second.

        If you click a state, you can see the states individual results. In my case Ohio. So even though the counting hasn’t started, I could see Kamala Harris, and 3 independant nominees. It did NOT show trump.

        I was thinking “wait, is he somehow disqualified from running in Ohio??? Is that why he’s been pissy about Ohio??? You’d think this would have been well talked about news!!!”

        Nope. None of that. There’d just a push button expanding page. Why would you use an expanding page when there’s only 5 items on the list??? And if you ARE going to cut off one candidate in the expanding list, why not one of the three independants who may as well all be named “Why bother???”.

        But then you expant the list, and trump is number 5 in the presidential race in Ohio…with all 5 sitting at 0%.

        Of note, Kamala is #2.

          I read this and was like “10 bucks says it’s just alphabetical” and, lo and behold, it’s just alphabetical. How is that not the obvious answer?

          They haven’t even started counting yet.

          You need to take a fucking chill pill, my man.

    Most places will have trustworthy polling data. Even FOX doesn’t mess with the results night of since it’s kinda hard to deny reality hard enough to overshadow the live numbers.
