I was 100% convinced the pollsters were herding. I was wrong. These results are completely consistent with what the polls were showing.

MSNBC has called Pennsylvania for Donald Trump. It’s over. Harris has lost the election. I vastly overestimated the good in America.

If you’re just logging back on now and seeing this—

A late breaking poll totally changed the state of the race and you weren’t there to Monitor The Situation.

Because of your inattention, your candidate is now going to lose.

I am sorry you had to find out this way.

hey man, i know you used to be the assistant treasurer of your university lib dem club, don't you think it's time you urge your followers (324 of the most politically engaged british people possible) to vote in the upcoming election? your words could really swing florida

She is voting Democrat, but thinks the Democrats stole the 2020 election and can steal future elections if they need to.

In the sense, her vote is thus unnecessary.

But she is casting it anyway, out of longstanding personal spite for Elon Musk.

I am not making this up.

This is what happens by the way

Today @RachelReevesMP has swept away one of the biggest weaknesses in the UK’s macroeconomic framework: the bias against public investment. It’s a very big deal.

Today was a difficult decision for me. As a twice-Trump voter and lifelong R, I've wrestled with the idea of voting for Trump, especially after his post-election conduct in 2020. His lack of remorse, lies, conduct during the primaries, and lack of concrete policy proposals left me no choice but to vote for VP Harris. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

Biden is so goddamn underrated

[Harry Samuels @hnjsamuels]

You can’t help but feel Labour have misunderstood their own victory. People didn’t vote for them because they wanted tough-talking fiscal hawks in charge, they voted for them because they are fed up of underfunded, poorly functioning public services.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Wow! This new Harris ad is getting played everywhere!

Hi @RepTiffany!

The barcode that links to an individual voter is on the return envelope. Election workers scan the barcode upon receipt and that loads a vote to the voter profile. Then if that voter tries to vote in-person, he’ll be asked to cast a provisional ballot. That’s how we ensure one voter, one vote.

This is also why election offices don’t accept loose ballots. They must either check-in at a voting location or return the ballot in its assigned return envelope.

Additionally, we can’t put barcodes on ballots that link to individual voters because then we could link the actual votes (e.g. who you voted for for president) back to the voter.

This is commonly confused. But hope this helps.

You have many great officials in Wisconsin, and I’m sure they’d be happy to show you how it works step-by-step.

The FDP, from both a policy and political perspective, would be one of the worst possible parties to try and emulate.

[Harry Samuels @hnjsamuels]

Perhaps I’m being melodramatic, but I also find it deeply frustrating that we as a country seem to have just blandly accepted this level of mediocrity. A seemingly all-pervasive attitude of “oh, it’ll do”; no sense of national ambition or drive.

The world’s largest online retailer and the richest YouTuber not paying minimum wage is genuinely insane
