National Popular Vote Interstate Compact - Ballotpedia

So if Trump wins the popular vote, are all the blue states going to vote for him? I know they won't hold up to their "interstate compact" but the only safe blue area in this is the district in Maine that contains Portland and maybe Colorado. Imagine if this is how Trump got a 50 state+DC sweep with only Portland (the other one) voting against him.

While this would probably be the funniest thing ever, as I understand it the interstate compact doesn't go in effect until enough states sign on to guarantee a presidential win by popular vote.

Just because states like CA and NY have signed on to it doesn't mean they're bound by it yet.
 
Reminder, I think Trump was still leading the popular vote in 2016 at 11:59 pm. I would not sweat the results already. It's like worrying about your fantasy football team at 1:10 pm on a Sunday.

Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask has an evil moon that will crash into the earth and kill everything after 3 days. It gets lower, more ominous and angry the less time there is left.

The moon is not evil, stop spreading lies. Go read the entire Majora's Mask wiki before you post again.

The 2016 election was a roller coaster of changing tides until the last minute, which is what made all the coverage like TYT hilarious because they were given hope 3 or 4 times before he eventually won outright.

Flicking through the channels and land on TMZ and see Lady Gaga try and stir up the Biden crowd by saying she married and divorced a man from Pennsylvania and then apologize to her current boyfriend for bringing up her ex. What a joke.

Didn’t Gaga kiss up to hillary too? maybe she should stick to producing awful music for chubby gays.

Its better this way, it inspires more trumptards to go out and vote and biden boomers think it's in the bag and won't leave the comfort of their nursing home.

That does change things, but even then the mail in voting hasn't favored them as much as they hoped, which is why they want the election to basically go on forever to get as many people to vote in the coming weeks as they can. Their numbers aren't going as they projected in almost any sense. City voting projections are down, rural voting is up, democrats were supposed to assblast republicans via mail voting and it didn't happen. The only data saying otherwise is polling, the actual numbers on the plate that we've gotten are not supporting the doomposting.

Many states expressly forbid counting the mail-in ballots' results until the day of the election, so as to forestall people strategizing in the wake of what those results wound up being. Assuming the envelopes and ballots were sealed, I don't know how you'd get an estimation of what side sent in more mail-in ballots beyond the registration numbers / 'received' statuses of people who requested a ballot. I'd have to crunch that state by state to get a guess - if that is low, then yeah, there's fuckall chance that they show up in-person as usual.
 
Registered GOP votes are up 157K total votes cast in Florida as of 10 minutes ago.

Pinellas County, long considered a bellwether for the state in terms of Presidential elections, has Trump up nearly 4K (He won it by 5,500 in '16).
