they can ask afterwards...it's how they do the exit polls right?

Just listening to todays Americast Podcast and they're saying as the thinking is that Pennsylvania is expected to take quite a long time to tabulate, the states to watch are Georgia and North Carolina who should be able to announce fairly quickly, perhaps even during the night or early morning.

Isn't Pennsylvania like a lot of places...all the Democrat voters are in the cities i.e. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh...the rural areas are more Republican.

Yep pretty much. That's one of the things that contributed to 'stop the count' last time.... Philadelphia was still to be counted and Biden was rapidly catching up with Trump.

It's the economy stupid. Lots of people felt better off when Trump was in office.

Plus, a lot of people just like him and probably think the rape stuff is fake.

Whole lot of stupid racist people whose brains were totally broken by having a black president for 8 years and Trump has done a great job of playing in to that and dividing the country further through lies and hate. So many people completely emboldened in their ignorance and vitriol.

Also COVID has somehow been completely forgotten about as the cause of so much stuff in the grand scheme of things and so they blame Biden for it all instead. Really quite nuts.

Its happened the world over. Most governments who presided over the post-covid cost of living crisis have been voted out.

yes, although I'd argue it was post-covid but also energy cost rises following Russia invading Ukraine. So, not really the fault of Biden, but he gets punished for it...same with Tories here, although there was a load of other factors that caused them to get kicked out (austerity/brexit/partygate/Truss).

and even less the fault of Harris, but that's the way the cookie crumbles I guess.

Anyway, Trump is going to lose.

Right?

RIGHT?!
