TURNOUT VERSUS WEEK 1, 2020:

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.
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."
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.
Where? Even my usual GOP supporting neighbors don’t have Trump signs again.
Where why so you can take them down?

I bought a pricey bottle of DC brewed whisky named for Kamala (Madame President) - the plan is to share with friends if Harris wins or to drown my sorrows if the Insurrectionist in chief disgraces the oval office again.

So.
Do we dare buy anything in advance?
Do we prep both ways, like the campaign parties?
WWYD?
Unless certain states are won unxpectedly like florida, the results of the election likely won't be known until the following Saturday.
That’s bs. Why as early voting and electronic ballots is it a wait to see who won? They used to hand count all the ballots and we knew the same night.
Because it used to be that the candidates would go on percentages and the one who was on a trajectory to lose conceded. But then Trump and fights and accusations and bad faith. So here we are.

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.
+1 wonderful suggestion!

Harris shouldn't rent out a venue such as Javits just yet.
Her sorority is going to rent it out and bring in DJ Flexx and Mambo Sauce for the Go Go.

I'm torn between two issues so no matter who wins there will be something to celebrate (and mourn).
If an east coast state such as VA or NJ unexpectedly goes red, the math for achieving the necessary 270 electoral college votes by the Democrats would be all but impossible. So, no real drama on the outcomes past 11 or 12 EST.
NJ resident here. There’s no way we are going for T****.
