Presidential Election Live Coverage 2020

[JohnDB]

What are you talking about?

There are two separate groups of electors that can be elected for a state.

Biden's electors
Or
Trump's electors.

That's who are getting actually voted for today...the group voted for will go to DC on December 14 and cast their votes.

Seems like Disneyland is where you get most of your tourists from though so that's ironic.

Yep

I thought the whole entire point of today was to decide who's going to be the president next year though. :/

Our part is over though what I mean. See how true media actually is on what people think

Yes...those electors will vote for their candidate.

Well that's the day the electors actually vote.

Today is the day we vote for electors. Biden's electors are different people than Trump's.

I think there are some Americans who don't understand the Electoral College, which is a vital aspect of the presidential election process.

 

[April_Rose]

Yes...those electors will vote for their candidate.

So what about December 14th then? (And bad news,.. Biden is up 119 now,.. but Trump still has more states covered it looks like.)

Yeah,.. I barely understand it. :/

 

[Mayflower]

Most electors are bound to their party

 

[Mayflower]

Why usually popular vote is accurate. Trump is more popular then what news makes him out as.

Huh??

 

[historyb]

Yeah,.. I barely understand it. :/

We don't directly vote for the person running for President, we vote for a group of people who vote for the candidate we choose

Actually we are voting for the next president but other people involved do most of the work.

If Biden stays ahead in Texas, it's not looking good for Trump.

 

[Josho]

I would say Trump has Florida now though. 91% counted and he has an alright lead there.

I'd honestly be surprised if he won the popular vote. He lost that one in 2016. Hillary won it by 2.87 million more votes.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I'd like to see Texas turn blue for a change. I don't like Abbott at all. He deserves a lot of the criticism.

Well so far if I understand it right he's winning the popular vote but he's behind on the electoral vote but it isn't over until it's over.

There's a blue mirage in Texas...the big cities for Biden have been counted completely...the rural areas have barely begun to report which will be strongly for Trump.

I'm not following the coverage other than what's been posted in this thread. I can't seem to keep myself away from reading the comments.
