I get it, 50% residents of one of the most influential countries on earth will be very upset, with a lot of geopolitic consequences.

But for some, we cant change the outcome in anyway, I hate the way content even on the Fediverse becomes. Yes its important but man. I was all into 2016 elections but it doesnt really change anything anyway. Americans go vote and all, though.

I just wanna talk about kernels and factorio, man

Well, they'll know how a lot of places will go, but this one will be probably close enough that I doubt that we'll be able to make a solid call on the election as a whole very early.

And always possible that there could be a Florida "hanging chads"-style challenge and effort to trigger recounts in any place that winds up extremely close in results, so that might extend it.
