2016: lol, they named it Boaty McBoatface

2019: Boaty McBoatface has determined that increasing winds have cooled surface ocean temperatures, causing them to subduct and cause turbulence, which is amplifying the rise of sea level, threatening billions.

Representative McCaul has been a steadfast champion of our wartime allies.

Today, he made it clear that @potus should immediately rectify the unintended consequences of the USRAP and foreign aid executive orders.

Thank you @RepMcCaul!!

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

No. Russia wants Trump to win. If he does, our foreign policy will become much more favorable to the Putin regime. Making bomb threats was a gamble with tons of upside and very little downside.

[Austin Park @austinjpark]

Alright, well, hats off to Nate Cohn for nailing the whole low-propensity voters/race depolarization thing. Will readily admit that I was wrong about that

[Lakshya Jain @lxeagle17]

Almost identical story in #WISen and #MISen, where Slotkin and Baldwin are now in serious, serious danger of going down. Not too many pre-election polls showed them trailing, but this is looking very dicey for both of them.

[Lakshya Jain @lxeagle17]

One big takeaway: This was a 50/50 election, and the polls are very likely to simply have been right. The anecdotes about ground game, enthusiasm, late movement etc don't square with the simple reality we're seeing, which is that polls were broadly fine.

I know Ohio looks good right now. Wait for complete counts. This happened in 2020 too.

[Lee Drake @Lee__Drake]

@USA_Polling Ohio blue shifted in early counts in 2020 too. Gotta wait for counties to be complete.

[Omar Jimenez @OmarJimenez]

Just in: 12 polling places in Georgia are having their hours extended due to Russian-originated bomb threats, according to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

[Lakshya Jain @lxeagle17]

Well, the polls showed a closer (albeit still blue-leaning) race in Virginia than we got in 2020 — and they look correct for that. Because Kamala Harris is winning Loudoun County by only 17, which is an 8 point underperformance on Biden's 2020 performance when he won by 25.

[Ethan C7 @ECaliberSeven]

MASSIVE WARNING BELL FOR HARRIS:

Loudoun County, VA (91% in):
2020: Biden+25
2024: Harris+17
8% swing right atm in VERY educated suburb

[Alex @alexanderao]

First complete county of the night is Taylor County, KY
87% white, 23% college

Trump 78%
Harris 21%

Shift from 2020: Trump +6

[Lakshya Jain @lxeagle17]

Friends. Please. Do not post half-completed counties and then say "do not extrapolate" unless you know how e-day/early votes will split, which none of you know yet.

This is just going to mislead 95% of the audience the tweets will reach. Wait for counties to complete.

[Lee Drake @Lee__Drake]

Not a fan of the Russian bomb threats being added to the election.

[Niles Francis @NilesGApol]

BREAKING via @wsbtv: A polling place in Tucker (metro ATL suburb) is being evacuated due to a bomb threat.

Polls in GA close at 7pm ET

@fordm For those watching at home, they did this before they gave him immunity

[Matt Ford @fordm]

He’s not! SCOTUS had to rewrite the Fourteenth Amendment so he could run again.

[Lee Drake @Lee__Drake]

@RalstonReports Are rural indies turning out proportionally large as well? Or is this just an urban phenomenon? Because if it’s the latter, <insert looking eyes emoji>

[Dylan Byers @DylanByers]

Nevada’s secretary of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says one of the biggest issues is that the signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses:

“It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.”
