I believe he’s busy with a technical problem, their remote has slipped down the side of his recliner and fallen into the works of it, whilst trying to resolve he’s somehow locked it onto a kids’ channel at maximum volume. So if anyone is wondering why they can hear Peppa Pig from Ashmont to the airport, that’s the reason.

Can I vote "I don't care"?

Yeah, I get that it potentially effects us in an indirect way, but I have no control over it, so there's little point being concerned about something i don't have control over.

I also don't understand the level of interest that people who have no right to influence the outcome show in something occurring in another country.

But, maybe that's just me?

But I do appreciate the entertainment value that this event brings.

True. Went to Bunnings on Monday and there was a guy wearing a TRUMP 2020 T-shirt, with what I believed to be his daughter (aged about 9-10) holding a USA flag!!?? Thought he might've been an American expat. Overheard him talking at the checkout and he was as bogan as one could be!

The GRU hackers helped Trump with that win. Even Trump himself was surprised he won. That's the problem with having a internet based voting system. It can be hacked.

I called Trump to win last time, i'm calling Biden this time. All the people that didn't vote last time because they thought Hilary would win easily, will be out to vote for Biden this time.

If the incumbent is returned, Allan Lichtman will be discredited. He’s made 13/13 presidential predictions correctly so far…

All the people that support trump but too lazy to vote generally, will be out to vote for Trump. Vilifying people for their choice of candidate has a way of galvanizing them.

What sites or stations are people following for the data? They seem to show different numbers.

I'm following Reuters and the data points to a likely Trump victory.

Various sources out there, many news outlets quick to give Biden the call on certain states (even with 10% counted), but reluctant to give similar to Trump with 60% counted! This is artificially making it look like Biden is in the lead to the great uneducated....

Below is a handy interactive map showing seats called, and those in favour of one or the other.
