Game Introduction

Live Election Results November 5 2024 Last update: Nov 6 3:30am EST, Nov 12 My remarks at the bottom ↓ ↓ ↓ Sources: Google, Associated Press, NBC News, CNN Updating manually, not using cloud variables. Updates in comments. 2024年アメリカ選挙結果配信（更新必要） Whichever color gets to 270 wins. Final results will take several hours, maybe days. The grey states (thick outlines) are unpredictable, so they are the most important. YELLOW = CRITICAL STATES RIGHT NOW NEW: Added popups for Swing States, hover over them I'll leave comments open for now, for discussing the election results/data as they come in. STRONGLY DISCOURAGE against talking about the two candidates, and DO NOT make/respond to mean/violent/raging comments because they will be reported and/or I will have to close comments. I know a lot of people will think it's a bad idea to share this project. But I'm really curious to see what happens. What's the worst that could happen? TIMELINE: - 5:30 EST: shared, comments open Here's what the map looked like: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1092049756/ - 6:30 EST: Indiana, Kentucky - red. Vermont - blue Comments start coming a lot - 7:30 EST: West Virginia, Florida - likely red - 8:00 EST: Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas - red. Maryland, Massachusetts, DC - blue. recorded short youtube video of current situation POV youtube.com/watch?v=-0dCUsxC354 - 8:00 EST: Georgia, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michican, North Carolina, Virginia, Kansas - new info Comments continue flooding, multiple comments a minute - 8:30 EST: Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Illinois - blue - 9:00 EST: Texas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming - red Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania's results evolving, all have early leads for blue, but trending towards red Several comments per minute - 9:30 North Carolina, Utah, Montana red - 10:00 Added popups with reporting data for swing states Pennsylvania red takes lead, Arizona first numbers dead tie Georgia and North Carolina closing in on red - 10:30 Iowa, Georgia called red - 11:00 California blue, Idaho read, still watching Pennsylvania. Fixed electoral counts, continuing to update popups - 11:15 Virginia, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, Hawaii blue - 12:00 midnight EST new results slowing down significantly, red holds lead in remaining battleground states, but several cities, mail-in-ballots, early-votes make the states still in play. Most critical is still Pennsylvania, blue cannot win without it. comments also slowing down significantly and i'm getting tired. - 1:30am EST pennsylvania imminently red, would put red at exactly 270 electoral votes. - 2:30am EST multiple sources calling pennsylvania. red victory speech at headquarters. we will see if anything happens with remaining votes, recounts, and faithless electors in the coming months. if the end result is 268-270, a single switched/faithless elector could change the result. Nov 6 - 4pm EST blue speech, will they concede or demand recounts? - 4:30pm EST blue conceded. apparently no recounts. red win - 9pm EST closed comments. let's hope for the best. Nov 12 - 1 week later. Arizona and Nevada red. Red won all battleground states. There is a debate over the various reasons it happened, but the most interesting is probably this new era of independent media and its importance. my remarks at 3:30am: (trying to avoid clearly stating my preference) if you're disappointed/very anxious with the expected results (which are still not final yet), i feel very sorry for you. have a serious talk with your parents, teachers, friends and allies about how much the result is actually going to affect your life, and if it does, what you can do about it. there are still 2 months left until inauguration day. Inhale and tighten all muscles in 4 seconds. hold for 4 seconds. exhale and relax muscles in 4 seconds. repeat 4 times. And... from what i've seen online, there are a ton of people that have managed to keep their frustration under control, being less surprised than in 2016, and are in fact expressing encouragement and possibilities of positive change. There will be many opportunities throughout the next 4 years. But... i understand that staying calm and positive is not realistic at all for a large number of people. I'm sorry for you. We need to face reality, and we will all do the best we can every day. Think practically and take action. We have another opportunity to heal and rebuild ourselves from the ground up. Don't give up. Nothing is over. You have a 100% rate of surviving all previous bad days in your life. No matter which party you support and what opinions you have, we can all continue to do our best and work towards improving the country, healing our relationships, and enjoying our lives.
