The Winner of Our Discontent — 2016 U.S. Election Results Discussion

[Jason Tandro]

I was going to ask where Clinton's voting pictures were, but then I realized she must have deleted them

 

[Russell]

I still think Cthulhu is the correct choice.



#NoMoreYears, #NoLifesMatter

 

[Lex]

I'm going to sleep. When I wake up the results should be fairly clear. Yikes.

Good night, sweet prince.

 

[Dashell]

With 1% of the vote in Trump is winning the popular vote. Everyone panic

 

[Flintlock]

Good night, sweet prince.

It's funny 'cos he used to be called Prince Lex

 

[Carlie]

We just voted our own version of George W. Bush as governor.

I was going to say that too, because nostalgia!

 

[Flintlock]

So who (else) is staying up until we know the result? What's your setup? Got a stream open somewhere, maybe a few other tabs, social media, TLS off course?

Kuroto just got here from the airport and we've got an ABC News stream open. I'm also following the Guardian's tracker and FiveThirtyEight's live updates.

 

[Jason Tandro]

Watching the MSNBC Live Stream as I lay down to sleep and will wake up at 11 PM my time so the final won't be in yet (the final polls in the west coast will be wrapping up by the time I get to work) but there is still Hawaii and Alaska, albeit we should know the answer by then.

 

[Carlie]

Definitely staying up, I got facebook, twitter where I'm watching a stream and will tune into ABC soon.

 

[Dashell]

Was about to say Trump was leading Florida then Hillary flipped it

 

[CK]

This election just reminds me of that futurama episode. I'm just wanting for robot nixion.

 

[Flintlock]

If Clinton's going to win Florida, most of her margin will come from Miami-Dade county, which is less than 1% reporting so far. Far too early to make any projections about the state.

 

[Ghost X]

I'm watching live updates from abc.net.au's iview, although I haven't been too impressed with their commentary. A lot of which doesn't seem to understand the systemic issues that have caused Trump to be popular.

 

[Interslicery]

I'm going to work, and by the time the mandatory break happens (system needs 15 min to reset for the day), the results should be in, so everyone's heading to the cafeteria to watch cnn.

 

[Ghost X]

Some deeply moving stuff at a graveyard.

 

[lithiumkatana17]

I've got work at 2am and having a hard time wanting to go to sleep. No matter who wins, we'll be putting out the magazines with the winner's face on them during the shift anyway so I know I'll be disgruntled in some way, shape, or form.

 

[Dashell]

HOLY SHIT. Hillary was leading in Texas... TEXAS! I never thought I'd see the day when Texas was blue... it flipped back but wow.. that floored me

 

[Tennyo]

My anxiety can't take the suspense.

I'm fairly certain Hillary has it at this point. Trump needed to win, if not all, the majority of the swing states and he did not (or is not currently, anything can happen)

 

[Fangu]

I'm reading news at 3am, can't sleep

 

[Flintlock]

I'm actually a bit nervous. Trump is leading in Florida, North Carolina and Ohio - OK, that only makes the race close, it doesn't suggest he's winning yet. But... he's also leading in Virginia, which was supposed to be fairly comfortable for Clinton. The betting markets are getting jumpy.

and as soon as I say that, Trump starts leading there...

yeah okay I'm nervous too.
