So, Kamala's only chance is PA, WI, and MI?

I see Ted Cruz won reelection.

Basically, we better hope like hell none of them flip to that [!@#$%^&*].

Yes but getting AZ and NV would help. Trump's strategy was flip the the majority of the swing states he didn't win.

With the way things have gone tonight, I'm bracing for the worst.

Well, a page or two back, some tweets said the sun belt doesn't look good, either, so...

It's depressing when you keep refreshing to see the Harris go from 70% to now 52% in PA.  I feel sick too. 

[Liberty City]

They are leaning red right now.

North Carolina hasn't been called yet.   Tr*mp is leading in the areas reporting, but the entire state is not definite yet.    
Many of the state’s most populous counties haven’t reported significant numbers of votes cast in person on or before Election Day.

I saw a Tweet saying it was called for Trump which I guess is a problem in itself.

Decision Desk called it. No one else has yet. The assumption is that it will - I think Lakshya Jain said 75-80% - people are just waiting.

Hours extended at 9 precincts in eastern Arizona county

A judge has ordered polling places to remain open two extra hours in nine precincts in an eastern Arizona county following a rocky start to Election Day that included malfunctioning equipment and a lack of printed ballots.

Apache County Superior Court Judge Michael Latham agreed to keep the polls open at the request of the Navajo Nation, which filed a lawsuit asking for extended hours due to the problems.

Meanwhile, bomb threats to polling places at schools in neighboring Navajo County prompted some to close momentarily and one to evacuate and send students home for the day.

Authorities said they received email bomb threats at four locations in Navajo County, including at least three polling sites. They determined the threats were not credible.

She is likely going to win New Mexico. If she was losing states like New Mexico, New Hampshire and Virginia this would already be over. The problem is what this weakness indicates for her overall performance.

[Juliajms2]

Just that it's going to be close is horrific.

[Liberty City]

I guess if you're a felon you can run for president. This is bull. I hate this country so much right now.
