Tumblr crosspost (3 November 2020)

Just going to put all my anxious election liveblogging under cuts/tags:

Ugh, if what we’ve seen so far is representative, 45′s very probably (almost certainly?) going to win Florida.

Georgia seems iffy, while NC and Texas could go either way at this point.

Already flashing back to 2016 tbh

[ETA 3/5/2024: it feels a certain way to record this for posterity in 2024 >_>]

nervous as fuck right now but oooh gooooodd texas pls

I replied:

Even if we don’t win it, it being this close to it is kind of amazing.

heget said:

Texas was never hard red- just lowest voter turn out and the only ones that showed up were R. Remember it has Austin which is often more Portandia than Portland

I replied:

Yeah, I was thinking more of how Dems always hope this will be the year we get Texas, and it never is … but it looks like this might be the closest yet??

texas is that ‘fool’s gold’. I’m worried about penn and ohio but telling myself that a) early and mail-in will shift, and b) trump has to win everything, biden can lose a lot and still squeak in
