Unless they use the nuclear approach that the GOP loves for forcing things through. Attach it to a budget and they only need a simple majority.

If Dems manage to hold on, even with the VP being the necessary vote, I’d imagine they will vote to end the filibuster (for better or for worse) to get whatever they can to a Harris desk.

Having only lived in a blue state (California) it's always crezy to me to see just how much of the country is red.

Land doesn't vote though. Most major metropolitan cities vote blue. Texas is a perfect example. The problem is around every city are suburbs that stay red. Read into that what you will but white flight is definitely a part of it.

Legitimately shocked NY doesn’t have mail-in only voting. Spoiled here in WA.

On the East Coast, blue states are ver conservative about things like that. We only just got main-in. voting in MA thanks to Covid. And there are a lot of people who thing that should have been a temporary pandemic relief only kind of thing and want to get rid of it again.

We are probably going to be one of the last states to accept digital ID's and we were one of the last states to make Real ID available.
 
So I am a glutton for punishment and have had CNN on for the entire morning and I will say if I were judging by vibes and voter interviews Harris is looking strong early. Of the people they have interviewed in line voting I would say it’s been 3 Harris for every 1 Trump voter.

I know this means very little, maybe it’s just a place and time type thing but I also still remember 2016 and being pretty anxious by all the voters in line saying they were voting for Trump.

Trump also seemed very subdued when speaking with the press while casting his vote. He was still talking up a big night but his tone and body language came off rather resigned.

The vibes are definitely different now than in 2016. Clinton started off her campaign high and then slowly it got worse closer to Election Day.

He was low energy and angry all weekend. I think their internals say he lost.
