The 2024 Election, Part XXVIII. The Election.

 

And so we go, Election 2024.

November 5, 2024

Today is election day.



cont, 18:31:

The states to really watch today are the "blue wall states", which are:


Of these, the ones that are really in doubt are Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump needs to take these, and so does Harris, for the easiest route to 270 electoral votes.

All of the other Blue Wall states are gong for Harris without a doubt.

At the time of posting this, South Carolina, which went for Biden last go around, has gone for Trump.

Donald J. Trump, the worst President in American history, a man who sat by while his supporters stormed the Capitol, was re-elected President of the United States,  securing both the electoral vote, and the popular vote.

This is simply amazingly and depressing.  All chances for a reform of the GOP back to a conservative party have now died.

The Republicans took the Senate.

The House presently remains undetermined.

In state and local races, the following is of interest.

All the judges were retained, as expected.

The School Board did not go to the Populists.

Casperites voted for a 6th Cent to support a new animal shelter.

Projections make it clear that the Republicans will retain control of the House of Representatives, cementing what amounts to a Democratic disaster.

Donald Trump will have control of the House and Senate, or put another way, Republicans will control Congress and the Executive.  Not only that, however, but this is a largely Trumpite Republican Party now, so whatever Trump wants, he's very likely to get.

It wasn't all that long ago that Democrats dominated national votes and the Republican Party was regarded as heading to extinction unless it reformed.  It did reform, but in a direction that seemed likely to cause its demise.  Now its the Democrats that need to take a serious look at themselves and react. They should not have lost.

And while it has been suspected for some time, it's official. The Republicans won the House of Representatives.
