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

    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.

      Well, they’ll know how a lot of places will go, but this one will be probably close enough that I doubt that we’ll be able to make a solid call on the election as a whole very early.

      And always possible that there could be a Florida “hanging chads”-style challenge and effort to trigger recounts in any place that winds up extremely close in results, so that might extend it.
