New York Times calls Massachusetts for Harris with 0% of votes counted

by philg

Don’t need Nostradamus in this situation, apparently. With 0% of votes in, the New York Times has called Massachusetts for the Candidate of Virtue:

They similarly called VT, CT, and MD with 0% of votes counted. RI was more efficient, apparently, because fully 1% of votes were tallied at 8:19 pm when I checked and the NYT had called the state for Kamala:

(Florida at the same time had 90% of votes counted.)

Looks like Republicans have taken over nearly all of the U.S. Senate, at least measured by floor space, with just one victory:

Could the person who calls himself “Jim Justice” be Jabba the Hutt’s cousin in disguise?

According to official media reports, Tim Walz was the most able of all American governors, yet at 9:47 pm central, nearly two hours after polls closed, his/her/zir/their state had counted just 5 percent of its ballots. Neighboring Iowa’s polls also closed at 8 pm and, despite malgoverance by Republican Kim Reynolds, was able to count 62 percent of the votes.

If Democrats are better at governing than Republicans, why aren’t Democrat-run states able to run elections as efficiently?

Update: the forecast gets darker.

From X: “If this keeps up Democrats are going to have to ask themselves why the hell they voted for this woman in the primaries.”

  1. Concord NH went from 7500 vote margin for Bide to 3700 for Kamal. 15% collapse
    Hope.you are ready for Orange Fuhrer!

  3. “If Democrats are better at governing than Republicans, why aren’t Democrat-run states able to run elections as efficiently?”

    Feature not bug?

    • Anon: Good point. More time allows for more votes to be corrected. If those Pennsylvania folks ran the election in Miami they’d start from the assumption “If you didn’t vote for Harris then you ain’t Latinx” and then fix a lot of mistakes made by people with Spanish-sounding surnames.

  4. Pennsylvania’s should be happy and most of all, feel important. Their State saw $954 million of campaign spending to get their vote [1]. Of course, now that the election is over, no politician will bother to talk about them.
