US election results
Over 150 million people have voted in the United States at around 200,000 polling places. At this stage no one in the world knows the result. Everyone will find out at the same time how things are looking as the results come in. There is something very equalising about elections. Because it is so decentralised, no President,. Governor or candidate knows the result before anyone else. You have to wait for the teams and teams of election officials, watched by scrutineers, to tally up the votes at each place.
Use this thread to post updates and reactions as results come in.
My vibe based predictions are:
- Harris wins Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada for 257 electoral votes and Trump wins Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina and Pennsylvania for 281 electoral votes
- The GOP flip 3 Senate seats and take it 52 – 48
- Democrats flip the House, but having a majority of five or less
I expect (and hope) I am wrong.
UPDATES:
- At 2 pm, Trump is up to 67% on the Polymarket betting market
