Ngamer64 11/02/20 7:09:22 PM #347:	Everyone's said "Election Night 2020 will be like nothing we've ever seen!" but what does that really MEAN? Let's attempt to clear things up with the Official Ngamer 2020 Election Viewing Guide Step One - *Beware the Blue Mirage! Some important (and sensible) states were allowed to start doing an official count of their early votes over the weekend, which likely means they will be close to having a full tally to put online as soon as their polls close. Since the early voting swung so far Democratic across the board, that means these states will almost certainly start off looking super duper blue- but if you're a Biden fan, don't get too excited! The results will start swinging in Trump's favor as the county by county Election Day vote rolls in over the course of the next several hours. States this applies to: Florida North Carolina Texas Ohio Iowa Nevada Step Two - Beware the Red Mirage! For some (incredibly dumb) reason, some important states aren't allowed to start doing an official count of their early votes until their Election Day polls have closed. Since the in person Election Day voting is likely to swing so far Republican across the board, that means these states will almost certainly start off looking super duper red- but if you're a Trump fan, don't get too excited! The results will start swinging in Biden's favor as the county by county Early Vote count rolls in over the course of the evening (and into the next day... and the day after that, and possibly another week or two). States this applies to: Wisconsin Pennsylvania Michigan Minnesota Step Three - Beware Everything! In some important states, there's no universal rule on when early ballots can be counted and when they should start being reported. Watch out for violent swings in these states, as they might drop the Mail In totals all at once and completely swing the results, or they might come in county by county for a smooth transition depending on how red or blue that area was. There's just no telling. States this applies to: Georgia Arizona Step Four - Be Prepared To Wait! Usually we expect a winner to be announced before we head to bed on Tuesday. (Well, night owls do, not so much East Coast early risers.) That's going to be very unlikely tomorrow! Because of the unique situation regarding the pandemic and how states all tally a little differently, plus the fact that some states are woefully unprepared to count through their millions of early votes (because they usually only get a hundred thousand), we're going to need to be patient and wait for full state by state results after every vote is counted. This process is likely to take days, possibly all week, and maybe even all month.
