Ummm we still have like 5 million votes to count in california alone, stop posting incomplete statistics as if they are comparable to previous years full statistics

Ummm the votes aren't counted but they have been received and accepted, which means the voters' names and parties are known. We were getting numbers of voters by party for weeks before election day as mail-in ballots were received. But you're getting a lot of upvotes so clearly you must be right anyway.

Long shot, but it would be funny af if kamal ends up winning the popular vote

She won’t. But this post is misinformation and should probably be removed.

I get what your saying and I agree, but it's funny/sad that you could add all 5 million of those votes to the Dems and the graphic would still be making the same point.

Not really. 5% decrease is a small decrase, 12% decrease is pretty huge.

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Well for one thing, it would go to a 7.5% decrease not sure where you split the hairs on that and as I mentioned that would be in the best case scenario where every last one of those 5 million votes went to Harris, which they wouldn't. Comparing any of those to a .75% change makes it nuts.

Take 5% off you salary and see if you still think that's a small decrease.

40$. Annoying but rather small.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Again, this isn't vote counts it's votes by party. We were getting these counts before election day as ballots were received, because they are validated upon receipt, thus identifying the voter and their party before counting who they voted for.

Wouldn't tickle my funny bone.
