What are you preparing for possible celebration on Election Night?

I'm torn between two issues so no matter who wins there will be something to celebrate (and mourn).

An early night means a landslide for Harris.

Shut up.

You seem lovely. Exactly what I would expect, actually.

As I looked around the restaurant, I realized there were alcoholic beverages at every table I could see. At lunchtime on a Wednesday. Everyone was somber and speaking in hushed tones.

I’m not planning a damn thing, but if Harris wins, I will be thanking God as a sense of relief washes over me.

Good grief, the drama is so incredibly tiresome.

Fear that while this orange head felon will be out (sigh of relief), look at who is waiting for '28...his VP pick (sigh of disgust).

Is English your first language, or no?

TURNOUT VERSUS WEEK 1, 2020:
Strong Trump Counties +23.5%
Weak Trump Counties +20%
Competitive Counties +3%
Weak Harris Counties -9%
Strong Harris Counties -19%

The correlation is insane and evident. If this energy is reproduced in the other battlegrounds - we'll be heading to bed early.

Everyone I know in VA votes on Election Day. I think you’re trolling because Trump’s campaign ran out of steam over the summer.

You can call me a troll all you want.

But these numbers are facts.

I voted last Friday and there was a good size crowd. Northern Virginia is not going to turn red for Trump.

it’s mainly because Virginia conservatives are now urging people to vote early.

Are liberals urging their voters to delay?

No. Crackpot nasty conservatives are trying to manipulate to depress Election Day turnout and it won’t work.

DP. Good grief. No one is trying to "manipulate" anyone, but I do enjoy the usual fearmongering and conspiracy theories from the left. Just vote whenever and the rest of us will do the same.

You’re a zombie and I truly pity you. I like how you kept the Trumpy capitalization in Strong Harris, that’s cute.

Guys. This exact kind of manipulation has historical antecedent in the Mexico national elections when the Sinaloa cartel was on the rise. The cartel stuffed ballot boxes for their preferred corrupt candidate so the early televised results would depress opposition (more progressive) turnout. It worked, years ago. It won’t here and now.

I check more on the war threads here these dies because all of the US politics discussion has no anchor in reality. 2016 is over, and trump isn’t getting out of his troubles courtesy of the electorate this time. Sorry!

Lemme guess. You failed math.

And spelling.

I’m not planning anything. I don’t want to jinx anything and I fear an election like 2000 where it isn’t called for weeks.

DP. Doesn't really matter, though, does it? Virginia isn't in play.

Oh, yes, it is. If you've been in any part of the state outside of the beltway in the last 3 weeks, you know that.

OP, to answer your question, I will follow our family's tradition of making chili on election night and watching the returns. Hoping/ praying for a Trump victory and even daring to hope now for an electoral "landslide."

So.

Do we dare buy anything in advance?

Do we prep both ways, like the campaign parties?

WWYD?

Prepare for a party with low key snacks and ask people to bring non-perishable goods for local food pantries. Whether your candidate wins or loses, the guests will have done something good for others and you can take the items to the food pantry and do something positive to counter your candidate loses and happy if your candidate wins.

As has been explained above and in other threads, VA was tentatively in play before Biden dropped out, and now the Trump campaign has retreated, because polling shows Harris will win VA. But Trump still has a path to 270 if he targets swing states. VA is just not one of them.

I have never seen so many Trump/Vance signs in VA.
