I wonder if there's gonna be some live coverage available online to watch Tuesday night for me here without a VPN... :hmm:

Most of the major news channels have it streaming on YouTube too for the election, no idea if it'll be geolocked or not tho

Right, that sounds good. I didn't think of official news YT channels. I don't think they can even geolock live streams, so that would be perfect.

Tomorrow is election say, and so I offer this piece of advice to anyone and everyone.

Apathy is the enemy of progress, to care is to act, so give your support and vote no matter what.

Hopefully when everything is counted up, Trump ends up with sub-200 Electoral Votes.

We'll at least get early results from the Bible Belt at the very least. I guarantee Kentucky is gonna be called first for Trump.

There’s obviously too much (mis)information out there to get a clean read on what’s going to happen for sure…but I am not surprised to see some polls and predictions started to turn left in the final days. A lot of polls never made sense to me…just mathematically. When you start to see some polls come out after early voting and say they may have underrepresented some voting blocks…it explains why things weren’t adding up to me. I don’t believe Harris is going to win Iowa. I do believe that poll shook other models into looking at how someone not herding came out with something so surprising in result. And the sheer volume of early voting numbers probably forced them to look at who was voting and their own sample data and see a discrepancy. More than any year…so many polls are more interested in staying within the margin of error than trying to represent an accurate method. Pollsters afraid of being wrong are basically worthless as pollsters. The point is always that you can know how each block will vote better than how many of each block will vote. And I can tell you from early voting and the line I stood in today for the first time since 2008…they largely underserved the latter.
