Another way to look at this: Kamala Harris won more votes than any Dem presidential candidate, ever, in NV, NC, GA and WI... but Donald Trump won more than any candidate of either party, every, in those four states.

Hey just a reminder: If you want your favorite accounts to get off Twitter, you have to follow them somewhere else first. The sad reality of modern media is that a lot of creatives are contractually obligated to keep their most influential social media accounts. Unrelated pic.

The second thing that jumps out is that, in the states where Harris and Trump campaigned the hardest, Harris overperformed. And she overperformed in Wisconsin most of all.

Thanks to tens of thousands of heroes—our candidates, the campaign, party infrastructure, allies, and volunteers—we persuaded and turned out even more voters for Harris than we did for Biden in 2020. We lost Wisconsin by just 0.9%—the smallest margin of any state in America.

Just to clarify: this isn’t just the first time since WW2 that all incumbent parties in developed countries lost vote share. It’s the first time since this data was first recorded in 1905. Essentially the first time in the history of democracy (universal suffrage began in 1894).

The narrative that "Dems lost 15 million voters who simply didn't show up" is wrong, and you shouldn't say it. It was an election lost mostly on persuasion, not turnout.
Our last estimate for the final turnout in the presidential election is 157.5 million, almost matching 2020 in raw votes though falling a tick lower as share of eligible voters, given population growth.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, as a guy who thinks picking up calls from random numbers should be against the law, but if you voted in Nevada, pick up your phone!
Apparently, they are calling these young voters to get them to cure their ballots, and they’re not answering their phones. Try texting!

Five more polling places in DeKalb County have received bomb threats. Voting has been suspended at those precincts. This is a deliberate attempt to prevent Americans from casting ballots. FBI has linked today’s previous threats to Russians. Official release below @ATLNewsFirst

Election coverage is like watching someone measure a football field with a ruler. Nothing that happens during the process will change the outcome. Elections are covered like a sport because more people will tune in that way. It’s ok to wait until tomorrow to check the results.

The thing is, it really does feel like we’re on a good path. Things are getting better. We recovered from the pandemic better than most countries. Inflation is low. Unemployment is low. There’s more to do, there are still people struggling. But it feels like we’re making progress

I have a confession and a plea to folks who are flirting with voting Jill Stein. When I was a 20 year old college student in 2000, I voted for Ralph Nader instead of Al Gore. I loved the progressive message Nader offered, and Bush and Gore seemed kinda the same to someone who
