2024 Presidential Election

[ShockingButTrue]

Here's to hoping President Trump tells Bernie to "censor this **********!" Schadenfreude ain't got anything to do with it, in any form whatsoever...

Here's an interesting story that I just heard about this morning on the radio.

The FBI in a show of force , after the election, in the early morning, with guns drawn (obviously to intimidate him) raided the home of Polymarket CEO who lives in New York. I've never heard about Polymarket, but it seems to be a gambling (Americans are not allowed to gamble using this company) website for the rest of the world. With the FBI's reputation for being part of the deep state, and Trump's promise to fire Christopher Wray, it seems like there may be more to this story. This story sounds like there is more than meets the eye and sounds "fishy" to me.

From what I understand, the company predicted that Trump would win the election, which provoked the actions of the FBI.

I'm not a gambler (gambling doesn't interest me), and I don't understand exactly, how these companies work, but I'd be interested in learning more from those who understand it more.

So much tolerance shown in that video

I hope Trump ain't no dictator. Hope he don't force us to take a certain shot, or buy a insurance policy we don't want. Hopefully, he won't force us to pay other people's bills, or subsidize other folks' new cars. I sure hope he don't close our churches or cancel our ballgames, or pony up for other people's elective surgery. I hope not.

11/12/24 Morning Update

Trump 75,008,000

Harris 71,809,000



If you throw out the vote difference in just NY and CA (which let's be honest, is mostly confined to NYC and LA & SF) then Trump's lead swells from about 3.2 million to almost 7 million.


House Update:


AZ6 called for REP Juan Ciscomani

CA 27 was called for DEM George Whitesides last night. Seemingly almost all the votes over the weekend came in for him. Just saying.

CA39 was called for DEM Mark Takano.

CA49 I'm calling for DEM Mike Levine. His lead has climbed to 15K with only 15% to count.



218-210 with 7 races left to be called.


AK1 REP Nick Begich leads by about 9K with 100K left to count. I get Alaska has it's own unique challenges when it comes to voting. But come on.

CA9 DEM Harder has opened up a 7K lead with 71% of the vote in. This is likely to be called soon.

CA13 REP Duarte has barely changed if at all. Now with 57% of the vote in. The only update I can find is that instead of 62% of the vote in, now it's just 57%. Read into that what you will, but I'd bet just about anything this race is going to turn late for the DEMs. Want the other side?

CA21 DEM Jim Costa lead is down to 1300 now with 64% of the vote in. Probably the strangest result left. This was not expected to be close. 2% count update since Friday. Unacceptable.

CA41 REP Ken Calvert leads by 7500 votes with 81% of the vote in.

CA45 REP Michelle Steele leads by 3900 with 84% counted. Very dicey trend. It's weird how all these late CA districts seem to be trending one direction.

CA47 DEM Dave Lin leads by 3200 with 84% of the vote counted.


Still wishing for 3 or 4 more GOP seats but trending to just 1 or 2. Fingers crossed.

Update:

Trump 76,211,000

Harris 73,342,000

218-210

AK1 Begich lead holds at 9400+ with about 30k left to count. I'm calling this for the GOP.

CA 9 Josh Harder leads by 9k. NO idea why this hasn't been called, so I will call it for the DEMs.

CA41 has been called for Ken Calvert. Point GOP.

CA47 has been called for Dave Min. Point DEMs.




220-212 with 3 seats in California still out there.


CA 13 REP John Duarte still leads by 1900 votes with 86% of the vote in now. I still expect the DEMs to close hard here.

CA 21 DEM Jim Costa leads by about 5k with about 79% of the vote in.

CA 45 Michelle Steele leads by just 236 votes with 10% left to count. She's all but done but we'll keep our fingers crossed that the DEMs didn't cheat well enough.

Update:

Trump 76,454,000

Harris 73,755,000


2020 Vote totals 155,508,000 2024 so far: 150,209,000 or 5,300,000 fewer votes (with more left to count, maybe around 1,000,000)


Keep a wandering eye on PA. They appear to be trying to find votes to change the Senate outcome.

Dave McCormick 3,392,104

Bob Casey 3,370,395

Total votes counted so far 6,762,499 with an estimated 36,000 votes remaining. Those would have to break 29000 to 7000, nearly a statistical impossibility. We'll see.


220-212

CA21 DEM Jim Costa has been declared the winner.


220-213


CA13 REP John Duarte leads by 2000 with perhaps 25K votes left to count. The DEMs are having a hard time slowing this down long enough to get enough late votes in, but they know what they are doing and they'll get their candidate to the finish line, one way or the other.

CA45 Michelle Steele's lead is down to only 58 votes with about 30K left to be counted. It's 152,415 to 152.357. Remember those numbers as well as the 30K to see where this ends up. The DEM machine has picked this off beautifully, by hook or by crook.
