Hopefully we can wrap up this business with the G*d-damned mail-in ballots tomorrow so we don’t have to come in Tuesday. I’m about ready to track down every Nevada legislator who voted to continue mail-in voting after COVID and beat them like piñatas until the candy comes out (in Minecraft).

Apparently they called Nevada sometime today, Kamala made a (plagiarized) concession speech, and Sam Brown is still hanging on to a slim lead in our Senate race.

Had the day off yesterday from the Balancing Board since the clerk’s office was busy doing Election Day stuff, and they called me this morning to tell me that I didn’t need to come in since they were out until 0400 wrapping up their Election Day work. So I get to play catch-up. Here In Nevada, it looks like The Donald may have dragged Sam Brown across the line, but it’s probably headed for a recount since he’s only winning by a few hundred votes.

Election Results 2024: Trump Wins Pennsylvania, Will Be 47th U.S. President

Posted on | November 5, 2024 | Comments Off on Election Results 2024: Trump Wins Pennsylvania, Will Be 47th U.S. President

UPDATE 1:30 a.m. ET Wednesday: TRUMP JUST WON IT!

UPDATE 12:40 a.m. ET Wednesday: MSNBC just called Georgia and North Carolina for Trump who, I should mention, currently leads by 2.7 points in Pennsylvania and 3.5 points in Wisconsin.

UPDATE 11:45 p.m. ET: MSNBC just called Trump the winner in North Carolina. Trump is getting very close to a win in Georgia. With 91% counted, he leads by about 135,000 votes (a 2.7% margin, 50.9% to 48.2%) and it’s estimated that less than 500,000 votes remain to be counted. Meanwhile, in Ohio, Republican Bernie Moreno has beaten Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, which practically guarantees a GOP Senate majority. In Pennsylvania, Republican challenger Dave McCormick is is leading Democratic Sen. Bob Casey Jr. by more than 100,000 votes, while Trump continues to hold a lead of more than three points over Harris. She just got called the winner in Virginia.

UPDATE 10:55 p.m. ET: Just watched Steve Kornacki do a symphony of hard truth on MSNBC. In state after state, in county after county, tonight is looking a lot more like 2016 — a Trump win — than like 2020, when Biden “won.” MSNBC hasn’t yet called either Georgia or North Carolina for Trump, but Decision Desk HQ has.

UPDATE 10:30 p.m. ET: In Georgia, with 86% of the statewide vote now counted, it’s Trump 51.2% to Harris 48.0% — a margin of 150,000 votes (3.2%). Getting a bit close for my taste. In Wisconsin, meanwhile, Trump leads by about 6,000 votes (49.4% to 49.0%) with 48% of the vote counted.

UPDATE 10:15 p.m. ET: In Pennsylvania, Trump had been trailing in the early returns, but with 50% of the vote now counted, it’s Trump 50.4%, Harris 48.7% — a lead of nearly 60,000 votes for Trump.

UPDATE 10:10 p.m. ET: OK, we’re starting to see some Georgia counties where 99% of the vote is reported. Barrow County, where Trump got 26,804 votes (70.6%) in 2020, he now has 30,674 votes (69.9%) so that he has increased his vote total, but with a slight decrease of percentage. In Walker County, where Trump got 23,173 votes (78.9%) in 2020, he now has 25,452 (79.3%) — increasing both his vote total and percentage. The question is whether small gains like this in more rural counties will be enough to offset Kamala’s big numbers in metro Atlanta. As of now, with 79% of the statewide vote counted, Trump leads by 52% to Harris’s 47%. The Real Clear Politics poll average for Georgia was Trump +1.3. He is overperforming the polls in Georgia, so far.

UPDATE 9:45 p.m. ET: Right now, with 75% of votes counted in Georgia, Trump leads by a 5.2-point margin, about 112,000 votes. That’s a bit too close for comfort. In my next update, I’ll do some county-by-count breakdowns of Georgia. Meanwhile in Virginia, with 61% reporting, Trump leads by about 16,000 votes. He probably won’t win there, but the fact that it’s this close is a very good sign. Ohio has been called for Trump — it was never in doubt, really — and the encouraging thing there is that Trump’s margin is about 11 points, with 64% counted. Trump won by 8 points in Ohio in 2020, so expanding his margin there would bode well for Michigan and Wisconsin. We shall see . . .

UPDATE 8:50 p.m. ET: With 87% counted in Florida, Trump’s margin there is now 13 points, while in Virginia, with 43% counted, it’s a 49%-49% dead heat. These are good omens for Trump.

UPDATE 8:22 p.m. ET: Wait a minute — I heard that wrong! Hallucinations? Flashbacks from that 1979 psilocybin trip? Whatever — MSNBC still has Georgia “too early to call.” Apologies for the false alarm.

UPDATE 8:15 p.m. ET: Georgia is the first battleground state called for either candidate, and MSNBC calls it for Trump. The word for this is YUGE! Remember, the margin of victory is important here as an indicator of how other battlegrounds may go, but to be declared the winner in Georgia barely an hour after polls closed? YUGE!

*** PREVIOUSLY (6:45 p.m. ET) ***

Usually, I watch CNN (so you don’t have to), but tonight my home office TV is tuned to MSNBC, because I think it’s gonna be glorious! Trump wins this thing? They’ll be crying 96 tears on MSNBC, baby.

Anyway, earlier today, I told you about Stacey Abrams and her fantasies of “voter suppression” in Georgia, and I turned some of that material into a column at The American Spectator:

When the Georgia General Assembly enacted new election laws in 2022, the state was targeted by a dishonest propaganda campaign led by the president of the United States. The new Georgia law was “Jim Crow 2.0,” Joe Biden said — a hateful smear for which that notorious liar has never apologized. Excuse my indignation, but I was born in Atlanta and grew up in Douglas County, Georgia, and this disgusting slander outraged my sense of pride in my native state. Yet the beautiful irony is that the new law in Georgia may prevent America from suffering another one of those “too close to call” nightmares such as was inflicted on us four years ago.
Georgia has greatly increased its early voting, and the votes that have been cast early will also be counted early, so that within a couple of hours of 7 p.m. Eastern, when polls close in Georgia, we may know the winner of that state. Depending on how Georgia goes, the winner there may be almost certainly projected as the winner of 270 Electoral College votes necessary to claim the White House. . . . 

You can read the rest of that. We’re getting ready for the polls to close in Georgia now, and I’ll be back with updates on that and other numbers.

UPDATE 7:05 p.m. ET: MSNBC just projected Kentucky for Trump and Vermont for Harris, but claims that both Indiana and South Carolina are “too early to call.” LOL. However, Virginia — a state Joe Biden won by 10 points — is also “too early to call,” which could be interesting.

UPDATE 7:10 p.m. ET: OK, now MSNBC has called Indiana for Trump, and also projected Republican Jim Banks has won the Senate race in Indiana. Meanwhile, we’re starting to get results in Florida, which is not a battleground state, but which may give us an indication of whether Kamala Harris is underperforming Joe Biden. So far, with 18% reporting, it’s Trump 51.9% to Harris 47.2% — not much different from the Trump-Biden numbers four years ago. We’ll see.

UPDATE 7:25 p.m. ET: OK, I’m watching Steve Kornacki break down Georgia votes, with only 3% statewide reporting so far, but we’ve got a few GOP-leaning counties — including Gordon and Union — that are up around 80% reporting, and these seem to be on pace to hold strong for Trump. Honestly, we need Trump to get up around 52% in Georgia to feel comfortable with the other battlegrounds.

UPDATE 7:35 p.m. ET: Welcome, Instapundit readers! The polls have just closed in North Carolina, and meanwhile, MSNBC has just projected Donald Trump the winner in West Virginia (just in case anybody didn’t already know). And at this moment, with 9% of returns counted in Georgia, Trump leads 60% to 40% over Harris.

UPDATE 7:50 p.m. ET: It’s rather too early to draw any conclusions from the Florida vote — 71% counted, and polls still open in the western panhandle — but it doesn’t look bad for Trump there. To repeat, Florida is not a battleground, but we want to see if Trump does better against Harris than he did against Biden four years ago. In order to be confident that he can flip the battleground states, Trump needs to be exceeding his 2020 vote share everywhere. Right now, it’s Trump 54% to Harris 45% — a substantial improvement on the 51%-48% against Biden four years ago.

UPDATE 8:10 p.m. ET: Several states just got called by MSNBC, including Florida for Trump. Again, this was not a battleground, but Trump’s Margin of victory in Florida may be indicative of his nationwide strength compared to 2020. Right now, with 78% of the votes counted, it’s Trump 55%, Harris 44% — a substantial gain for Trump. Meanwhile, Steve Kornacki is going through Georgia county-by-county, and finding net gains of between 1 and 3 points for Trump. As I’ve said, we need to see Trump at 52% in Georgia to feel comfortable about North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Right now, with 36% reporting, he’s at 56%.

Hang on and keep praying, folks.

Georgia: How’s ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Working?

Posted on | November 5, 2024 | 2 Comments

Despite the fact that early voting has set historic records in Georgia, a certain Democrat remains permanently disgruntled:

Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is claiming that “voter suppression” is occurring in Georgia despite record turnout in the Peach State.
During Friday’s installment of “CNN News Central,” co-anchor Kate Bolduan asked Abrams what she believes is driving the surge in early voting.
“While we are excited about who is showing up, we have to understand that turnout does not mean there is not voter suppression activity,” Abrams replied.
She suggested that one of the reasons for long early voting lines is because residents can no longer use the “easier” method of voting by mail.
“People who are disabled, people who have lost their homes are facing harder times casting their ballots, but they refuse to be silenced. What we are excited about is that here in the state of Georgia, despite the government making it harder to cast your ballot, people are willing to fight to make it happen anyway,” Abrams continued.
Senate Bill 202, which was adopted by the Georgia General assembly in 2021, made several changes to absentee ballots. Prior to its passage, signature verification was the primary means of checking voter identity, according to the Fulton County website.
Absentee ballots could also be requested up until the Friday before the election.
The new method stipulates that Georgia voters provide their Driver’s License number or other forms of voter ID and must request their ballot at least 11 days before the election.
“Once again, Stacey Abrams is lying about Georgia’s elections, and over three million voters who have already voted know not to take her seriously,” Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “She’s cost the state millions and it’s time for her to get real: Georgia has the leads the nation in voter accessibility and convenience and we run the most secure elections in the country.”
Georgia voters have already shattered multiple turnout records, but that did little to temper Democratic critics of the new rules for the 2024 presidential cycle put in place by the state’s GOP officials.
“I was just in Georgia. You know they passed a law that makes it illegal to give people food and water for standing in line to vote?” Vice President Kamala Harris told a rally crowd in Michigan earlier this week. “The hypocrisy abounds. Whatever happened to ‘love thy neighbor,’ right?”
Meanwhile, President Biden called Georgia’s election security laws “Jim Crow 2.0” in 2022.
Georgia’s Republican-majority legislature passed several laws since 2020 to increase security around the voting process after the Peach State was thrust under scrutiny in the previous presidential race.

As advocates of the new Georgia law have repeatedly said, it makes it easier to vote, but harder to cheat — and it’s that latter aspect of the law that Abrams and other Democrats deplore. There was massive “ballot harvesting” in Georgia in 2020, but they won’t be able to play that trick this year, which is one reason why Team Trump feels pretty confident about Georgia. Another factor that should help Trump in Georgia is the disgrace of Fani Willis, whose RICO case against Trump got wrecked in the courts. Let me put this as gently as possible — there’s Atlanta, and then there’s the rest of Georgia. Folks out in the hinterlands of Georgia don’t want anything to do with Atlanta, and Fani Willis is a perfect example of why people in the rest of Georgia despise Atlanta.

Polls close at 7 p.m. ET in Georgia, which means it will be an early indicator of which way this election is going. You can look at the county-by-county percentages from 2020 on Wikipedia and match them against what’s reported tonight, and from that county-by-county comparison figure whether Harris is under-performing Biden or not. Remember that Biden (allegedly) won Georgia by less than 12,000 votes, so even a slight shift in Trump’s direction would flip Georgia “red.” If Trump then holds onto North Carolina, all he would need is to win Pennsylvania and that’s it — 270 Electoral College votes, no matter what happens in Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona or Nevada. Furthermore, I think Mark Halperin is correct in saying that we’ll probably see the battleground states go one way or the other — it’s unlikely there will be a split decision.

A clear win for Trump in Georgia — say, 51%-47% or better — would be the first clue tonight that Kamala Harris is losing, and I think we should have a definite sense of that by 10 p.m. ET. Say a prayer.

FMJRA 2.0: No Expansion This Year

Posted on | November 3, 2024 | Comments Off on FMJRA 2.0: No Expansion This Year

— compiled by Wombat-socho

Pete posted on the league Slack that nobody stepped up to take any of the four possible expansion teams, but a couple of the existing teams may get new owners since the existing owners have been excessively quiet lately. There’s also an AL team that wants to move to the NL, probably because of the designated hitter, which begins this year for us.
Put in six hours at the election balancing board yesterday, and most likely will be working Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week taking care of straggling mail-in ballots. We get Tuesday off because the County Clerk’s office is going to be too busy with actual election day voting to supervise us, and frankly, that’s okay with me. I still have quite a bit of continuing education for tax season to take care of.
