2020 Election Results Thread

Post by Rate This » Tue Nov 03, 2020 12:13 am

Gentlemen... Start your engines.

Dixville Notch, New Hampshire which went 4 for Clinton, 2 for Trump and 1 for Johnson In 16 has done it’s customary first in the nation vote. 5-0 Biden this time around. Not terribly predictive but we are underway. The last time there was a clean sweep here was a 9-0 win for Richard Nixon in 1960, the first year this tiny hamlet voted like this.

Millsfield, New Hampshire went 16-5 for Trump. In 2016 Trump got 16, Clinton 4 and Bernie got 1. There’s one other hamlet in the trifecta and that is Hart, New Hampshire.

I’m goin’ with Michael Moore - who predicted a Trump win last time around - despite all the polls putting Hillary out front.

TONIGHT he predicted this will be a Biden win. With many more - perhaps double - the popular vote total that Hillary won. Plus a clear win in the electoral college.

Hope to God the Dems take back the Senate, as well.

Jeffrey, there is NO WAY Biden gets 130M votes, so put that pipe you're smoking down. Michael Moore also predicted a Kerry win 16 years ago - how did that work out?


Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

At 11:22 am, freep.com shows a 7-6 US House advantage for Republicans. Aren’t all seats up today??? How is possible that 13 have been decided?

Why would a party let a seat go uncontested?


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

There were plenty of uncontested seats for various offices on my ballot at this year.

Oh, duh! :red

My district might as well be uncontested. I voted for Debbie Dingell. I'm going to go out on a limb and GUARANTEE her reelection.

My household and my neighbors household went to the polls together this morning. I'm happy to report that we delivered 8 votes for Donald John Trump and John Edward James.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I made a protest vote today. :lol

Because I think our Sherriff (who ran unopposed) is kind of arrogant, I wrote one of my buddy's names in and marked it.

I wonder if he will end up on the news count?

:rollin :rollin :rollin

In '76 (I'm old) I couldn't stand to vote for Carter or Ford. A bunch of guys on my floor at Wilson Hall (MSU) said the same thing. My father got 4 votes for President that year.

My one concern is that so many college students didn't vote because they are doing class virtually. This is a big deal in swing states like Pennsylvania.

Sad part is your father would have been better than either of them. Love Carter as a person, but not a president.

I am surprised you voted for Dingell.
