Autopsy US Election Day Thread - Trump 47th President of the United States

[Gethelred]

The race is run, the winner declared!

For further discussion of the election:

USA - 2024 US Presidential Election: Trump vs Harris (pt II)

I will be keen to watch the handover on J6 I think, Will the Bidens attend unlike Trump? Will the crowd be the biggest in history, Will there be a magical Mystery victory tour and rallies like 2016, Will he reduce his golf games and stop heading North in the Summer or home to Fl in the winter...

By a lot of talk, he actually means all those voices in his head....

High Gen Z turnout at the University polling booths in Philadelphia. I've seen videos of the long queues. Several reports saying much bigger than previous and extra machines have been requested to process votes.

Rigged!!

(Kamala does well with young voters)

Donnie: HEY, THAT'S CHEATING!!!!

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

I think Democrats will win the house and Republicans the senate

So a flip

remember when they were wanting to increase the voting age to avoid young people?

I am so envious of John King - seems like such a cool job on election night

 

[Bloods86]

So they claim. Too much shit gets promised then stalled then used at the next election as a selling point

She's campaigning on stuff they have had 4 years to do already!

As others have said, you need house and senate control too. The US system is even less efficient than ours.

Unlikely to have all 3 this time, especially for the Dems, but the other key factor is appointment of judges in federal courts that get to decide on reproductive rights disputes. Assuming the Republicans actually hear the nominations, given likely Senate control, and one or two support the nominated judges (and there are those who would), Harris could do this.

I could watch 100s of Aussie Elections and I would still not be prepared for the US crazies.

I get that the US system is crap, but this sort of thing (reported in the Guardian) just makes me shake my head:

Serina Jones, 30, pulled over her minivan in West Milwaukee and flagged down a canvasser walking down the street in a reflective jacket.

“Are you all doing voter stuff?” she asked.

Jones, who is a mother of three, had not registered to vote yet but was determined to cast a ballot – and had plans to get her husband to the polls, too.

After plugging in her address and making a plan to vote, she told me she has “mixed feelings” about the election.

“I’m fired up,” said Jones, who is voting for Kamala Harris and said she worried about the consequences of a second Donald Trump presidency for her three children’s education and livelihood.

“But I have a lot riding on this,” she said. “I’m trying to make sure we got a future for our babies.”

I mean, you're worried about the future but hadn't bothered to register until today? Jesus. Some people need their hands held all their lives, apparently.

So the really big question I have out of today is which tv election coverage people on here are choosing to tune in to. Let’s hear it

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Going to be massive turnout.

 

[Drummond]

Seems like a pretty evenly split group here…

Will either be meltdowns or jubilation later on today.

 

[CarnTheScray]

I'd put money on Donald, hes always had a massive following. I think a few more percentage will doubt wether Kamala can negotiate with Putin, China, Korea, etc

When has Trump ever negotiated with any of those nations.

Has given Putin a presidential fellatio, had his stupid trade war with China, and tried to tweet his way into a shitshow with North Korea.

Yep.

He’s my go to analyst.

That's a disgrace.
Federally nothing will change, it's up to the states. That's why I dont think it's an 'issue' if that makes sense

The southern states want abortion

ABC for me

 

[Golden_6]

I really wish I had confidence in their system to allow everyone who is legal to vote to actually vote in a secure manner with all votes counted (& certified) without a hitch.

The new few days are going to be shitshow no matter the result. Trump is almost certainly going to claim he's won no matter what the results are indicating.

Oh look. A newbie!

Didn't want to put your original profile to the post?

 

[Hank Scorpion]

Earliest reported swings from Indiana averaging D+5, Kentucky no change.

Though these are partial vote counts

If the youth turnout is as big as being reported I would feel a bit more confident in a Harris win but it all depends on the EC which is really such a stupid system that favours the republicans

 

[TheSunGod]

Looks like it's all over...

If it’s anything like Thai politics the real powers that be won’t like that result and throw it out.

Exit polls were brutal for George W Bush in 2004. They mean precisely nothing.

 

[Millky95]

Early votes in rural areas with like what, 100 people that always vote Republican, 10,000% suggest Trump is getting 600 EC votes. Obviously
