I've been wondering all along if betting is influenced by the number of dollars on one side or the other. Taking a stab in the dark, Trumpers seem to be the types that enjoy gambling more than Democrats.

Not sure what you mean. The "bookies" essentially are just looking for their 10% vig. Ideally, they want the exact amount of $ bet on each side so they get their cut. That is why lines move.

Trump will win the electoral college by fewer than 30 votes, and the victor will not be known until later this week.

There will also be numerous lawsuits.

Those are my predictions.

By the way, my polling place was pretty empty around 11a. No line when I arrived. About 8 folks in line when I left. My ballot was lengthy...just over two full pages.

I cast ballot #125.

The next precinct north was even slower in terms of traffic judging from lack of cars in the parking lot. Granted, some folks walk. I'm within a half mile of my polling location on a quiet neighborhood street and did see a number of pedestrians.

So, Matt, did you vote for Keith B. for regent? ;)
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Pretty sure no old timer here voted for Keith but had a great laugh at the ballot. I almost wrote in Jim Moriarty for county prosecutor. Had to choose between a chauvinist and a drug Nazi for prosecutor here.

By the way, I refused to vote for Andy Levin, Carl's nephew. No nepotism. Voted for Andrea Kirby(Working Class Party).

I respect your opinion MW. The urban turnout appears to be low.

Exit Polls from NBC show Covid is a priority 52 to 44 nationally and leads every key state exit poll.

That's his point. They're NOT voting for the racist who called blacks super predators in the 90s.
