[Politics] Donald Trump, US President Elect 2025

[Lyndhurst 14]

He's talking about party affiliation. Of course, that doesn't mean they actually voted for Trump:

Almost 60% of Florida voters cast ballots early. How many will vote today, when will we see results?

In 2020, voter turnout in Florida was 71.8%. So far in 2024, 58.7% cast their ballots either in early voting or by mail.

So it does look like around 1 million more Republicans have voted, but a) there are about 1 million more registered Republicans in the state anyway, b) just because you are registered Republican, doesn't mean you'll vote Republican and c) Florida isn't a swing state (although some polls did so it surprisingly close).

One thing I've never understood is why, in the States, do you have to declare either Democrat or Republican when you register?

In the UK you just register to vote

Just spoken to an old flame and she has voted for the orange bungleberk.

Genuinely lost for words.

There's a lot of noise from both sides but I stick to what I've thought for the past month - Harris will win the most votes and Trump will win the election. Can't see anything to shake that view

That's certainly where I'm right now, regrettably. Have been for a few days in fact.

I love America, I really do, but it's home to a hell of a lot of utter fucktards.

Toss Up… lots of nervousness here in the States.

Harris has only one way of winning, by actually winning the EC.

Trump has 3, winning EC or with Moscow Mike Johnson in house he also has the draw, and with the corrupt supreme Court and house he has the coup option too.

You need to register to take part on primaries

Don’t care about Trump. He’s a senile old fart and won’t be in post a year from now.

Vance though is f***ing dangerous, and paired with Musk is potentially the end of the western democratic order.

We were discussing Florida not the overall.

Someone just lumped on $18m on Trump

Do you visit there often

All noises so far pointing to a “high to very high” turnout.

OK - but why can't you just register to vote in the primaries without stating political allegiance.

I know in the main election tonight you can vote for anyone, but what happens in the primaries if you change your mind (it happens) are you stuck with voting for the party you registered under ?

Harris will win the popular vote by the sheer excess of dem support in california and big dem cities like NY and Chicago but that counts for little.

A few small semi surbaban counties nobody has heard of in the swing states well decide the future of US democracy, NATO, Putin in Ukraine and wether geopolitical balance is maintained or we descend into global chaos. I honestly believe its that serious.

70% chance of a record turnout, you'll have no interest in reading!

I didn't like Vances comments about the UK and Muslims that was embarrassing. But everything else has seemed reasonable. He was interviewed today and told people not to fall out with families about their political allegiance.

And that family and love were the most important things in the world !

Doesn't really sound like a dangerous man

 

[peterward]

What's the odds zxgngl is Musk!

I’m more interested in the actual turnout than what Joe Bloggs is guessing the turnout might be…

That sounds very much like a dangerous man. Pleading ‘love the neighbour’ on one side and then being a right little shit on the other.

 

[Mellotron]

Good noises from Nevada and Philadelphia so far.

We are talking about the president of the United States

He's not the POTUS, he's a very naughty boy.
