Well done on voting!

I will almost certainly be glued watching Steve Kornacki's big screen tomorrow night. I'm honestly pretty confident that it'll be a good result, a moron will certainly show his face around 10 or 11pm to claim victory before all the votes are counted, but I'm certain all the stations will ignore him.

I really hope an alternative to the Electoral Collage is established - it's an outdated concept and I don't love that a voter in Wyoming has more weight than someone from a more populated state and that swing states end up with so much power.

I'd honestly love to see a non-partisan Federal Electoral Commission established that would set fair maps (eliminate gerrymandering), establish ranked choice voting, standardize voting conditions (early voting everywhere, etc), limit political donations, introduce ranked choice voting, set voting dates to a weekend and set strict rules on campaign advertising, etc. There's a lot that can be improved in the USA.

Yes, a lot can be improved here. I also believe America can't be isolationist. Historically that had been tried and it never worked. That's why it is a global election.

This truly is a global election - it's hard to understate how much is actually riding on this election from a global lens. It will affect every country in one way or another.

I’m likely going to be up all night tomorrow.

Yeah, being in Texas you'll have the timezones working against you... for example Oregon won't start counting until your 10pm unfortunately.

That said, I think they'll have a pretty good idea once they finish with NC, GA, MI, PA and WI.
