All depends on who wins which states. If the right states go to one candidate, or if it looks like it’s headed that way and networks call it, it could all be over early-ish. Remember 2016 being over by the time I woke up in the morning. 

Long as nobody gets wasabi and lemon flavoured sparkling water in their eye in the newsroom.

I always loved indulging in the ‘fake Melania’ conspiracy and I’m here to do it again:

I'm not planning to stay up late tonight but I'm almost curious to wonder how busy this place will get, particularly from midnight when I gather the results are going to start to really pick up.

 

Even if, again, with the margins this skinny, I would be surprised to wake up tomorrow morning and get a result confirmed. It's possible, but given how long Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Nevada took to ratify everything last time, and those 5 likely having a key part to play again, I can't say I'm expecting it.

 

Hell, I'm already wary if the precedent that might well get followed is the shitshow that Florida made of its 2000 recount.

Fingers firmly crossed … night all hope to wake to good news 

[steviewevie]

Trump landslide?

[steviewevie]

Anything else and it's obviously dodge

Up, semi awake and in the office. How are we feeling this morning. Pretty much as expected so far?

[MilkyJoe]

Nothing really surprising so far but my god it's still depressing.😕

 

All eyes on Georgia at the moment, trump currently leading 53% to 46% with 70% counted but it's worth noting that he was leading at the same stage last time and still lost.

Looks bad. Going back to bed.

[FloopFiller]

Jesus, woke up expecting good news and it seems like everything is going to sh*t, or at least it’s a total nail biter in most of the places that count 😬

[MilkyJoe]

a little better on the eye now Harris has picked up California.

[FloopFiller]

He might actually win this. f**k sake

Admittedly not going great so far but a long way from over. Where is that optimism we've seen from you over the last few weeks.🙏

Hard to be optimistic in the face of this glum reality. Apparently he’s currently even being projected to win the popular vote. Like, Jesus Christ!

Yup, looks like it’s gonna come down to the likes of Pennsylvania yet again and we’re most likely not gonna get the results for a few days as well.

You may be right. trump currently marginally ahead in Georgia/NC and Pen but really too close to call. If he wins Georgia and NC I'll start to be a bit more pessimistic.

😪😬

[MilkyJoe]

f**k! trump projected for NC😢

[FloopFiller]

Gonna pretend like my stomach isn’t in absolute knots and say that I think she might still win with the blue wall states. Absolute nail biter if it does come down to those, but stuff I’m seeing coming from them seems semi-positive.
