I am tired of having to listen to all the side theories of every major news outlet and their interpretations of the votes as they come in. Is there anyone better than another to get more solid info and less bullshit?

Not being a dick but how are the election result reporting not unbiased? They’re all using the exact same API so the numbers shouldn’t deviate as long as they’re all in sync. I’m sure as shit not tuning into a network news station so sorry for the ignorance.

Thanks for the link. This has just what I was looking for, even county level. The only thing I don’t know yet is how well it updates, that was an issue in the past between different interfaces and their refreshing. But that was a different internet too.

Lol why wouldn’t they just show both years on this demographic? What’s the point of have the api for the live streaming data in the text but not in the graphic? To quote the retired NoSho league MVP Shoarsie, “Sodumb.”

Edit: OH FUUUUUUUUUUUCK ^IM ^THE ^ONE ^WHO ^IS ^SODUMB, ^I ^SEE ^IT ^NOW

Good lord that was midleading for a second.

If you click a state, you can see the states individual results. In my case Ohio. So even though the counting hasn’t started, I could see Kamala Harris, and 3 independant nominees. It did NOT show trump.

I was thinking “wait, is he somehow disqualified from running in Ohio??? Is that why he’s been pissy about Ohio??? You’d think this would have been well talked about news!!!”

Nope. None of that. There’d just a push button expanding page. Why would you use an expanding page when there’s only 5 items on the list??? And if you ARE going to cut off one candidate in the expanding list, why not one of the three independants who may as well all be named “Why bother???”.

But then you expant the list, and trump is number 5 in the presidential race in Ohio…with all 5 sitting at 0%.

Of note, Kamala is #2.

I read this and was like “10 bucks says it’s just alphabetical” and, lo and behold, it’s just alphabetical. How is that not the obvious answer?

They haven’t even started counting yet.

You need to take a fucking chill pill, my man.

Hate to burst everyone’s bubble but the api isn’t available without AP credentials.

Nice to point out a public service, as their less likely to act in favor of whatever gets a sponsorship (even though they still do sponsors/ads to a degree)

No. That isn’t how elections work. Only once polling places close will the totals begin and only on a state by state basis will the totally tally’s be known.

Your going to have to wait about a week to know.

Won’t stop Trump from declaring victory at noon, and have his shoving some hack, crayon transition plan at any doting media outlets that will take them, because if he can get even the most ridiculous challenge to the SCOTUS, that’s the ball game. They’ve grown far bolder at flexing their power for the wealth class than even 2000.

The question will be how much the media indulges his clear, intentional deception as the “candidate claims victory, stay tuned for further details.”

Nothing ever stops him from making a fool of himself. We’d all be a lot better off if everyone ignored him. We would have avoided 2016 entirely if news channels had treated him like the joke he is, instead of pouncing on his every word.

In terms of unbiased and factual numbers about the electoral college that isn’t part of the reporting. I like the minute to minute reporting as much as most other people. It’s just not relevant for the process.

That’s it.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
