Election 2024: Day 0, 6:40pm

Four non-competitive states whose polls close very early have been called: IN, KY, and WV for Trump, and VT for Harris. Early vote is starting to filter in from Georgia, but it’s too early to form any conclusions. Of the swing states, Georgia and North Carolina are the ones for which the vote is expected to be counted relatively swiftly.

The one thing we do know so far that we didn’t know before polls started closing is that miracles are not forthcoming in Florida. With 73% of the vote in (largely early vote), Trump leads Harris 54.1 – 45.1, and Senator Scott leads Mucarsel-Powell 53.7 – 44.9, although neither race has been called yet. The abortion amendment in Florida is currently ahead 58.3 – 41.7, but it would require 60% to pass.
