Jesus, Miami Dade is horrific.

Massive momentum shift with those figures, Hillary won Miami Dade by 63 - 33 with 85% reported Biden only leads 54-45.

Early sign Hispanics are breaking for Trump in BIG numbers

Biden doing well up around Jacksonville too which is encouraging also with 75% of the vote in.

Agree that BBC and RTE have far too many talking heads not saying much, CNN is the best for facts.

Apparently those are the votes from today, not the early voting.


Who knows what the feck is going on.

Yes. You can read trends, is Trump up or down v 2016. It's a good indication.

I did some misreading earlier. Trump is way up in Miami Dade compared to last time. The panhandle is still open. Trump will win by by more this time than 2016.

MSNBC is better because Brian Williams is very easy to listen to. Also there’s Nicole Wallace which helps.

I was there in 2012. The country was a surreal place. They really big it up like fight night or something. No wonder people treat their parties like football teams.

However the Kentucky one will never hold but if it is not what was expected it may be a bell weather for other locations.

I'm like this with all politics though. Irish, Stormont, UK and US elections are sport for some of us

Biden's initial numbers looked great in Florida, but in Miami Dade (the biggest county in Florida by a mile) his vote has collapsed. I don't think he can make up 300k votes in the rest of Florida.

Were they early? Chap at the screen said it was the election day vote in Miami Dade.

Either way trump is overperforming there which is bad for Biden in Florida overall despite the other good parts for Biden.

Georgia is looking encouraging too now for Biden.

Inquitus

NY Times has a good analysis of early tallies into projections, Florida not looking good right now, long way to go mind.

How can Cubans in Miami who claim to know all about the horrors of communism not see that the Dems. are a million miles from socialism

It's baffling tbh.

Don't get what people's problem is with Blitzer.

He's more in the background.

I'm not a CNN fan but I like how they present Election night. Plenty of info and well presented.

Miami-Dade early voting totals not yet counted.

TLDR for people jumping in:


Florida is staying red. Wisconsin will go blue. I can't see anywhere for Trump to flip from last time so Biden needs to flip one or two of NC, PA, MI, OH, GA.

So are the totals being tabulated inclusive of the early votes sent in? There is of course the run off of other mail in voting, but I'm just a bit curious as some different agencies are beginning to call states.

Trump will take Florida by the looks of it with Miami being the key to that.

Not really no, just the Cuban Hispanics in Florida.

It's also really important to know if the extra 120k votes trump picked up so far in Miami Dade is due to increased turnout and there is more votes to come in for Biden and especially if it was actually the early vote and not the on the day vote.

EltonJohn69

So... no Biden landslide ?

Shelga

Is this other guy on CNN called John King?

I much prefer this map/numbers talk to the talking heads on the other channels.

84% counted so it's not going to move the needle much.

In the background? He keeps interrupting. Other than Blitzer it's a decent format.

80+% counted, mostly early votes.

Ah, maybe if your gonna stay up for it all flick back to it when things go to **** for trump later in the night. Guaranteed it will amuse you

BBC will have pretty good coverage throughout without as much of the pageantry you will get from the American networks

I'm enjoying CNN's OTT geographic coverage. I'll be sticking here.

As it starts to turn for Trump I will be sticking on Fox. Like one would do when England lose at a Euros/WC and switch to BBC/ITV.
