It's a start!!!!

And just in case you were wondering how Dixville Notch voted in 2016, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton won the community's vote, beating Republican candidate Donald Trump 4 to 2, with Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson receiving one vote, and Mitt Romney receiving a single write-in vote.  Eight people voted in total.

This is what it feels like as I head to whatever lines await at my polling place on this chilly drizzly (but clearing) fall day.

Watching these results trickle in is SO ANXIETY INDUCING! I am using black diamond, but it’s barely taking the edge off. I took an afternoon nap in preparation for a very late night but maybe I should just try to sleep and wake up to whatever in the morning.

I didn't expect this to be such a close race....

I expected it to be this close. I was certain the polls posted up to today were badly skewed.

One thing I noticed among the maps Scooter has been posting for months is they showed Michigan, North Carolina, and Georgia as going for Biden and I've been of the opinion that they would go strongly for Trump regardless of the "polls". I also expected Florida and Texas to go to Trump, as they appear to be doing.

Virginia was one I didn't have on my Trump list though it's not a surprise. Nor did i have Rhode island or Maine on my Trump list, but then again it's early. As is having Arizona and Montana (!!!) on Biden, but I expect those to flip back to Trump as the night wears on.

Looking at the numbers I would not be surprised in the least to see Trump win again.

The usual LOW-IQ red states are voting for trump.

Hope to wake up tomorrow on NOV. 4 to see the latest.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Trump's supporters haven't budged, despite everything.  WTAF?

Why is this election even close?
Because Trump voters will walk off a cliff rather than admit they were wrong.
 
The orange spray-tan was barely wiped off Donald Trump's inauguration Bible before the mainstream media went on Trump Voter Remorse Watch.  Working off a common but incorrect understanding of human psychology — that, given evidence and time, people come to regret their worst decisions — journalists kept interviewing Trump voters over and over, in "heartland" diners and farm fields and gargantuan exurban malls, in search of evidence that doubts were starting to creep in.

I found the whole thing exhausting fairly quickly.  In June 2017, <the writer of this piece> published an article in which I concluded, after interviewing psychological experts, that "the answer to the question of when Trump voters will come around is somewhere between 'a long, long time from now' and more likely 'never.' "
(continued here...)
And that's why Trump even stands a chance of pulling this damned thing out again.  It's a sorry state of affairs.

He’s declared victory and demanded they stop counting votes.

As expected.

He's trying to make his cult believe that counting votes is the same as casting, and that any votes counted after midnight must not have been cast on Nov 3. Hell, even States that require mail-in ballots be received by election night didn't have their counts done by midnight. Many States allow ballots to be received later as long as they were postmarked by Nov 3 (kind of wondering how that works in WA, where ballots need no stamp hence no cancellation mark...)

Well Wisconsin has recently flipped to Biden lead and I wouldn't be surprised to see Michigan follow suit as what I expect are absentee votes are counted.

I would say the closeness of the Presidential vote (so far) puts the house in play. senate looks to be close too but I think the Dems have a slight edge

Let me amend that after checking the current results in Michigan James had a Bigger lead over Peters than Trump has over Biden. That does not bode well.
