The Needle

At Bluesky the mood was positive and optimistic as recently as this morning. That's gone. They're (very) worried.

she can absolutely still win via the blue wall but just for fucking once I would like to be pleasantly surprised by results with Trump on the ballot and once again it's worse than expected and I am fucking tired of it

I thought the presidential results would be contested for days or weeks and maybe the SCOTUS GOP judges would override the vote and give him the presidency. But Trump might just win it outright in ~6 hours or whatever. Sooner?

I wonder how they calibrate the needle, I'm not seeing much to make it clear it's leaning in one direction or another right now.

Part of it is that she now has to sweep MI, PA, and WI. And come back in VA. Some of her previous paths to victory are closed off by losing GA and NC
