@NickBryantNY Wasn't the first term the big surprise, given how favoured Clinton was, whereas he was at least a 50/50 this time around (shocking but not surprising)?

Trump first term: shocking but not surprising. Trump second term: shocking and surprising. Gaetz and Gabbard is next level craziness.

@burt_sarah Rode wireless pro is good!

I have had the worst luck with mini mics- they either straight up don’t work or the sound is muffled and off. Onto my third now! Anyone got a recco that they love?

@EricLevitz Eric do you write for Vox or NY I can’t figure it out?

There are more important things for you to fund rn (legal aid, bednets). But if you think it will be useful to have analytical journalism about politics and policy over the next four years - and like my approach to that - please consider a Vox membership vox.com/support-now

@MatthewBevan Credit to her for not herding and publishing an outlier as all pollsters should

Ann Selzer tonight

@CandlesSarah @baseballot I'm not sure the high turnout is benefiting Dems. If anything it's benefiting the low-information, low-propensity voter turnout, which has been Republican for 1-2 elections.

@JoFriedman64 @baseballot That's the rural counties, thus far, showing that swing. They are expected to lean heavily Trump. How well that holds going forward, especially with the apparently high turnout, remains to be seen.

Blue Wall check-in: -PA: Harris 52–48% with 35% in -MI: Harris 53–45% with 13% in -WI: Harris 51–47% with 29% in All three are setting up for a photo finish right now. Nobody knows anything yet.

@LoveWinzAlways @baseballot Yup...

@Paul_Karp Finally a Selzer outlier?

Has anyone checked on Anna Seltzer? How's her blood pressure RN?

@mrseankelly Not entirely sure. I think partly because the booths are less formalised without an AEC-style authority organising things far in advance, and also because they're so small so it can be who can muster the resources on the day.

@JoFriedman64 do you have a sense of why they change? seems like it would depress vote (obv some places there are huge changes in developments necessitating new booths).

@NilesGApol Early vote count only — same-day will be more R

Uhhh Hamilton County 👀👀

@umichvoter Where will you be??

Just finished work! Time to take the Northeast regional to Philadelphia !!

@KateAllman_ With alacrity

@JoFriedman64 Those who are both must be soon ready to take over the world

Today will reveal two types of Americans. Those who are watching the election results, and those glued to NFL trade deadline news.

And in Part 4, @davidplotz from City Cast joined me at his favourite lunch spot in DC to talk about how misinformation is influencing this election.

In Part 3, I was so excited to chat to @emilybazelon from @nytimes Magazine about the role of the courts in this election: lsjexplains.buzzsprout.com/2205080/episod…

Last week, on the US/Mexico border, I met these five sisters all born in Mexico. Three made their way to America years ago and can't return. Two remained in Mexico and can't get visas to the US. This was the first time they had all seen each other in 22 years... @mirjordan
