CNN says this is all early voting results and to expect a substantial change soon.

Though their exit polls should signal this is already over and the Dems won.

Purdue is already up to 0.36 on PredictIt. I was going to sell but for now I'll hold and see what happens at the next drop.

yes, loeffler's worse than bloomberg. he at least had some claim to fame when he got voted in as mayor and had some charisma to work with. at the time was a right man for the right job, which he overstayed because of course he would. she's just money and nothing else. which i mean, was definitely bloomberg's pitch when he ran but he was rightfully called out on it.

she may be worth less financially yeah but she's still worth almost a billion on her own - over it with her husband. and he's definitely an element to the ticket since he's chairman of the new york stock exchange, which is a huge boon in a way beyond straight money.

Is there a margin of victory that triggers an automatic recount if youre below it?

Not that the losers on either side shouldnt request recounts anyway if theyre within 1%

Ok sold with Perdue at 0.32. He was up as high as 0.38 but I stupidly was holding on to 0.4, and then he dipped all the way down to 0.29 or so before climbing back up to 0.34 when he briefly took the lead.

I think there is still a chance Purdue jumps back up but I'll just take the money and run for now. Thanks UE!

A reminder of how vicious the needle can be, though!

https://amp.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/jpej55/bring_out_the_apocalypse_now_helicopters/

Of course, Cohn is being fairly outspoken about how the needle is accounting pretty heavily for how November went, and will likely be pretty boring.

Boring is good!

Purdue down to 0.20 again and Loeffer is way down at 0.13.

I still think Purdue is too low for this point at the night, but I don't think I want to risk more even at that price point.

If you use it with no caveats it becomes generalization.

again, this is dumb and shows a lack of understanding of what the phrase actually means.

Of course "what the phrase actually means" is something different, but we often mod generalization, and saying "all people of a certain profession are bad" is generalization on its surface.

Ready to pointlessly go 200 posts on this or are you going to leave the explanation as-is?

Main issue is that his stance is either not held by his fellow mods, or there is indeed some background meddling afoot.
