Truly won’t know to start to know results until 6pm CT tonight. Exit polls and all that don’t mean that much.
Do you have links to the reports? I still haven't turned my TV on (plenty of time for that), and my twitter feed is narrowly tailored to include almost no news, so I'm not in the loop w/ exit polls.

Ah, thanks. So, unless I am mistaken, that is based on public money. Which, could very well be from exit polling, etc.

Semi-related, saw this yesterday:

I have a TV in my office at home. I've been bouncing around the networks.

The closest support I've seen for the "race is tightening" notion is: (1) Florida exit polls showing disproportionately-high R in-person voting (natch); (2) the size of crowds at Trump rallies (big number fallacy strikes again); and (3) the supposition that some people answered Biden to pollsters because they're scared, but will actually vote Trump (mmkay then).

You can guess where I saw these aired.

The midterms were a good indication of where Texas is heading.
We're :10 into the first half and you only have one post. Kind of disappointing.

This is incorrect for those that care.

Between Dixville Notch and Millsfield, Trump leads 16-10.

As I posted earlier, Dixville notch voted 5-0 in favor of Biden. Its 2016 results are in the OP.

Millsfield voted 16-5 in favor of Trump. Millsfield result in 2016: Trump 16, Clinton 4, Sanders 1.

At noon I took Trump +180 for $3.
Books of matches on me if he wins - so you can burn down your city and make MICH happy.

Biden is doing well in Florida. Miami-Dade is closer than expected which is making it close.

Florida going to close soon. If Biden gets it, it’s basically over.
