    Nowhere close to 1 in 5, 8% did per exit polls (which are by no means definitively reliable so it could be a bit lower or higher). That’s up two percent from exit poll estimates four years ago to be fair.

    18%. Close enough to 1 in 5

    8% is what I have seen everywhere

    Where are you getting 18? That would be very difficult to believe

    I saw a few different polls.

    Filter by black voters and scroll down to Men (or vice versa).

    Exit polls are going to be all over the place.

    Will take a consorted effort amongst journalists and data scientists to figure out the eventual demographic breakdown, and it may take some time.

    It might actually be good for the country/world if Trump does in fact fight this until the bitter end, and focus all his energy on such a frivolous pursuit, rather than on whatever other lunacy he might enact during lame duck season, furious at the country for rejecting him.

    Caveat: provided it doesn't spill onto the streets with violence etc.

    Always helpful when domestic terrorists freely give away their identity and location. Though I guess it does take some of the fun out of it for the feds.

    It would be f*cking hilarious if Fox called Pennsylvania for Biden while he's speaking.

    The drama queen in me is wishing for an epic meltdown live on tv

    Yup.

    Going to bed no later than 1:00, don't expect anything substantive from Pennsylvania before then unfortunately.

    Trump sounds wrecked and seriously downbeat, regardless of the actual words he's saying.

    This is even more cringeworthy than usual, despite how impossible you thought that was...

    The CNN banner is beautiful.

    "Breaking News: Without any evidence, Trump says he's being cheated".

    This is dangerous stuff. Need republicans condemning this. Even with that, it could get ugly.

    2% in Penn resulted in 40% reduction in Trumps lead so yeah it's looking like Georgia and Penn might flip.
