Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

California doesn't matter, due to the electoral college.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayYeah Michigan and Wisconsin aren't looking good, it's not over yet but to far to close. Detroit apparently still isn't in yet and has the votes to swing it, if Clinton can pull one of them back and then grab Nevada and New Hampshire that might do it I need to run the maths.
We need two more Virginia style situations, fingers crossed.
