I get it, 50% residents of one of the most influential countries on earth will be very upset, with a lot of geopolitic consequences.
But for some, we cant change the outcome in anyway, I hate the way content even on the Fediverse becomes. Yes its important but man. I was all into 2016 elections but it doesnt really change anything anyway. Americans go vote and all, though.
I just wanna talk about kernels and factorio, man
One more day. Just one more day. Election day is tomorrow, and by the early hours of the morning after, it’ll all be over.
This is unfortuantely going to be dragged out for weeks while counts are finalized and certain candidates start claiming victory fraudulently. Just like the last election 🙄
Do you know when the first reliable results will come in?
I bet it will be quite late over here in the EU though 😔
Edit: thank you both, guess I’ll see the results in the morning :-) or if I go pee in the middle of the night 😋
Depends on how close it is. 2020 was a bit chaotic on account of COVID; 2012 and 2016 were both decisively called before 5 AM EST.
The first polls on the East Coast close at 2000, which will be 0100 Wednesday morning in the UK, 0200 CET.
It will take a while to count up all the votes, though, particularly in states where they don’t start counting the mail-in vote until the election closes. I bet when you wake up on Wednesday we still won’t really know.
We won’t know the winner til Thurs eve or Friday. My money is on Friday.
