I’m not watching TV, but watching the results sporadically as they come in online.
Stressed and worried.

Flight still to early to tell. Looks like Florida went Trump but other big swing states are more promising. Ohio and NC and possibly Texas. If Biden flips Texas that’s the end

I don't know whether watching would make me feel like stabbing my eyes out with forks, but I did watch ours recently, which was a "landslide". No party has won an outright majority since the introduction of MMP (mixed member proportional) in 1993.

I've got my fingers crossed that the result is the right one for America.

I am. It's all still so early. So many mail-in ballots not counted yet.

I’m hoping those mail ins work for Biden. I don’t want another 4 years of Trump

Also watching senate races.

I am too ... but ours haven't been counted yet. Put them in a drop box over a week ago (have receipts), and still not marked "accepted!"

DH was smart and has curled up under the covers in the dark. Perhaps to sleep. . . . :lol:

Unfortunately, I stayed up late enough to watch DJT's announcement from the East Room...... :shock: :evil:

Outcome anxiety aside, I'm really enjoying Politico's interactive maps/graphics:

Selecting any state gives the county-by-county breakdown:

I'm also obsessively refreshing this:

These are great links (although I must not obsess). I will note that Trump won my rural TN county by "only" 75% to 25% this year, as opposed to 80% to 20% in 2016.

I am purposefully not watching. I will know once the counts are in.

My husband actually went to DC from Georgia election night. He said it was like a block party.

This is SUCH a relief. Arizona going blue for the first time ever. Likely Nevada, PA, and maybe Georgia! I have been SO stressed!

Is it still going? I'm so bad at watching the news.

For sure. This is the election that will never end. Basically started in 2016 and it's still going.

I think we’ve had calm but strongly believe that is about to turn into a huge mess with Biden pulling ahead.

Have to say though I’m proud that it looks like Georgia is going to end up blue
