In the days of Gore and Bush, yes, but the retiree demographic leans conservative.

It's also contributing to the reason why Queensland tends to be more conservative in our elections.

Florida also has no income tax or something so a lot of wealthy types "live" there and in turn vote there

How good is it to rock up to your local primary school, grab a democracy sausage, see the Lib and Labor volunteers chatting to each other while you ignore their how to vote cards, jot down your vote before wandering home to settle in with Antony Green on the ABC.

Yanks be crazy.

US elections make you grateful for AUS elections

Not a great result in Georgia for Harris

Because that is always how US elections trend early.

I would have just said "Okay bye" if my partner was telling me she'd break up with me for whether I voted or not.

Women who threaten breakup as a persuasive tactic are bad news. Same goes for men of course.

Is she hot? Are you batting above your weight?

Largely Republican polls been counted. The swings will come mate.

I think people are ****ing nuts if they have major political differences with their significant other. If my wife supported Trump we never would have got along in the first place. Basic human decency should be a deal breaker for most people.

Come back in 8 hours when the west coast comes back and postals can be counted

Agreed. If we didn't have mandatory voting I couldn't be with someone who never voted

what are the key swing states to keep an eye on ?

Yes and no

'' if you dont stop beating me I will leave you '' has a bit more substance than '' if you eat that brussell sprout I am leaving you''

No-one should be forced to vote a certain way to save a relationship.

If the guy wasn't planning to vote for Harris, the girlfriend should have just dumped him and be done with it.

Personally I think trump will win. Him getting shot and seen as a fighter and survivor got him a tone of voters.

As in current numbers?

You really just have to watch the swing states, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin etc. - all results so far are as expected. And most states / electoral college votes counted are of course in favour of Trump.

So it is really going to come down to the slice of the pie most at stake. Sure, there could be a shock surprise or a State that no one expected to flip but that's part of it.
