    My election night tradition is to pour myself a bourbon on the rocks (or three), stay up late, and watch the results roll in.

    Last time was stressful for obvious reasons and I wound up sad drunk. Looking forward to being happy drunk tonight!

      I only drink to celebrate or if I’m at a work event so we shall see if I’m drinking tonight (I don’t have a work event tonight so my only hope is a blue tsunami). Sure hope I get sloppy drunk.

      It’s retirees who have time to meander to the polls in their bumper stickered golf carts during the working hours. We need workers to, borrowing some sensational headline vocabulary, slam the polls as soon as the workday is done right up until close.

        Just fucking up in general. Broward county canʻt keep their fucking voting count reporting up so its throwing off the count. Weʻre getting lumpy updates with big vote drops instead of steady numbers. Its making it hard to see intraday signals (like we expect voting to have peaked for Rʻs but not yet for Dʻs, since most Rʻs are unemployed/ retired).

      It’s only 25% counted, and probably mostly blue counties with that big a disparity. Once it’s 90%+ then celebrate or start biting your nails.
