ABC News currently projects 223 for Harris, 279 for Trump, with a few states still not projected yet. It looks to me like MI, AZ, NV will all go for Trump, so probably 301.

In popular vote, around 72M (52%) for Trump, around 67M (48%) for Harris.

Senate: 42 D + 1 (Bernie Sanders) versus 52 R, with a few seats still undecided. 51 is a majority.

House of Representatives: 190 D to 204 R with something like 41 seats still undecided. 218 is a majority.

@simsa03 Admittedly, I tried to block out most election-related information, but I still had the impression the election would be very close ... and that Democrats would control at least one house of Congress regardless of who won the White House.

It looks like the information I did encounter was mostly wrong.

It is 01:22 US-Central. ABC News projections:

Harris (D) -- 194, 62M votes

Trump (R) -- 266, 68M votes

About 9 states still to go.

And remember, these are projections by outside organizations (a television network and the company they hired, probably a polling organization), not official numbers from each state's secretary of state.

At this point, I'm guessing Trump will likely end up with between 285 and 309 electoral votes, assuming that the real numbers turn out to be substantially the same as the TV projections.. 270 is enough to win.

It also looks like the Republicans get control of the Senate (current projection: D 41; I 1; R 51 ... 8 more to go, but 51 is already more than half). The House of Representatives isn't decided yet (current projection: D 189; R 203 ... 41 to go and 218 needed to control the House).

Now 91 to 207.

These are projections, not official results. And the western states are still voting, so there's a big batch of almost guaranteed Harris votes that will show up either late tonight or tomorrow morning.

ABC News currently says Harris (D): 81; Trump (R): 162. This will of course change as more states report results.

One reason this is irresponsible is that Westerners, weary of hearing about the war, may pin their hopes on a sudden coup ending the war instead of pressing their leaders to give Ukraine the full support it needs to successfully drive the Russian invaders out. Thus, they undermine the cause they intend to support by spreading things created out of their imaginations as though they were truth.

@sun I had to look that up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_truck but then I realized that Subaru used to export something similar to the truck in the photo back in the early 1970s. Cross the street neighbor had two of them.

(The neighbor pronounced it sooBARroo.)

  Kei truck
  
  A kei truck, kei-class truck, or Japanese mini truck, known in Japan as a keitora ("light truck"), is a style of pickup truck built to satisfy the Japanese keijidōsha ("light vehicle") statutory class of light vehicles. Limited to certain size restrictions—currently no more than 3.4 m (11.2 ft) long and 1.48 m (4.9 ft) wide—they are produced by a wide range of Japanese automakers and are available in rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. Kei trucks were first introduced in Japan in 1959 and have since been widely used throughout Asia. Since at least the 2020s, they have become increasingly popular in North America, earning a cult following for the affordability and reliability. Design The kei truck class specifies a maximum size and displacement, which has steadily increased since legislation first enabled the type in 1949. They evolved from earlier three-wheeled trucks based on motorcycles with a small load-carrying area, called san-rin (三輪), which were popular in Japan before World War II. Since 1998, the law admits a maximum length of 3.4 m (134 in), a maximum width...

  Harry Dempsey, "World’s largest transformer maker warns of supply crunch" https://www.ft.com/content/a0fa2e61-b684-42b7-bd12-6b9d7c28285c « Transformers had long been readily available within six to eight months when manufacturers suffered from a glut for years, but demand in the $48bn market has suddenly rocketed. Its size is expected to reach $67bn by 2030, according to estimates by consultancy Rystad Energy. Utilities wanting to buy the key piece of electrical infrastructure would now have to wait three to four years if they have not reserved one already, said Schierenbeck, formerly CEO of German energy company Uniper. The supply chain bottleneck is another pinch point for power systems struggling with surging growth in electricity generation and ageing infrastructure. In particular, the expanding share of renewables in the electricity mix in some markets requires more transmission equipment because they are often located far from users and produce power from more dispersed sources than traditional electricity plants. That has created an urgent need to upgrade the grid to tackle huge waiting lists for new projects to connect to networks, as regulators struggle to cope with the major power system overhaul that decarbonising requires. » #energy #infrastructure #renewables #peakrenewables

This is just irresponsible. There is a near zero chance that Russians--whether "oligarchs" or otherwise--are going to rise up against Putin. Everyone saw what happened to PMC Wagner's leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, and they're also aware of the oligarchs who fell through 2nd (and higher) story windows and the activists who somehow swallowed radioactive elements that are rarely seen outside a nuclear reactor.

I only said near zero chance because of the Prigozhin example. Otherwise, I'd say a zero chance.

Shifting time is just weird.

We should stop pretending that we're "saving daylight".

There's got to be some wealthy corporation behind the resistance to ending this practice. Maybe a large medical provider (a chain of hospitals?) or a company that makes "boots" for kids whose legs get broken as drivers unfamiliar with the sudden change run into them.

We need to find out who it is and expose them, so even the most corrupt politicians will move away from this barbaric practice.
