3 elections in a row - WI, MI, and PA. total winning vote across the 3 not even 200K msongs Nov 7 #4

So far President Trump is winning about 40% of the votes in CA. If that continues he will get kelly1mm Nov 7 #5

He's winning at that level right now because the more Democratic mail-in votes haven't been received/counted yet....... W_HAMILTON Nov 7 #8

Given all we know about the 2024 election so far, particularly the significantly increased early/absentee kelly1mm Nov 7 #14

Republicans still mostly voted in-person -- not by mail -- even when early voting. W_HAMILTON Nov 7 #15

On that we agree! We can wait a few days to see who the popular vote winner is. Especially since kelly1mm Nov 7 #17

It will be more than few days, if previous elections were any indication. W_HAMILTON Nov 7 #21

You only think Trump is getting 2 million votes out of 9 million left? Polybius Nov 7 #7

That would be disappointing.nt jfz9580m Nov 7 #12

California is at 58%/40% now and the majority of the ballots still remaining will tilt heavily Democratic. W_HAMILTON Nov 7 #19

Is 2-1 even enough though? Polybius Nov 7 #26

18 states + DC will accept and count a mailed ballot if it is postmarked by, but received after, Election Day. W_HAMILTON Nov 7 #31
