Staying busy and avoiding news. It’s highly likely that it won’t be decisive, and we don’t need to feed the relentless hysterical coverage machine of media corporations.
Thank you for this. I'm signing off for today, I'm sure I'll find the results out eventually
I'm just going to watch memes and shitposts here on Lemmy
yea, I'm on this train.
Some More News livestream after ingesting 10 mg of cannabis
That's Warmbo's show, right?
Yep! They're doing a live stream starting at 5:00pm PT (8:00 Eastern)

From the safety of my bunker.
The republicans we know said today to expect trouble and to gas up and get groceries and just hunker down for a while. Which is not at all ominous.
I won’t be watching. I’m going out to my shop at 8. No internet out there. And probably not emerging until dead of night or early morning. Then, like a lot of other women, I’ll check on my status as a person going forward.
My other half is taking Benadryl and forcing himself to go to bed. He’s given strict instructions not to wake him, even if it’s good news, with a clear Kamala win. (Yea, trouble later, but it’ll still tell us what We The People decided up front, and that means a lot.)
Here's hoping you're still a human being tomorrow night. Cheers.
I'm gonna watch the Some More News crew livestream and drink a lot
I'm smoking weed, and drinking.. weed.
No weed injection ¿
Nah, that sounds scary.
Ill wait till lemmy starts bitching about it.
From the burnt end of a blunt and the bottom of a bottle lol
Tbh, I got a lot of work to do. I will probably just check the news that night or wait for someone to tell me.
Do your work, there's going to be a lot of back-and-forth and probably at least one legal challenge to work through before we have a final result so you won't be missing anything
The restaurant I work for is hosting the mayor and a city counselor to watch the elections live with another 100 guests, so I'll be watching from the kitchen...
Oh my. I hope that ends up being an interesting night rather than a tragic one. Then again, if y'all serving alcohol... might be very lucrative.
I get off early, so I'm going to buy a fresh pack of cigarettes and fraternize with the politicians while I wait to see exactly how the world will end.
Here are some of the links that I will reference (YouTube links below), I'm sure there are many more, but I like to get all angles and commentary:

FiveThirtyEight, specifically:

I think I'll hide in bed until it's over.
After asking a similar question on this channel a few days ago, I think we're going to watch the coverage on NBC, unless I find something better on YouTube.
Cue all the comments about the final results not being available tomorrow night...
No, I think I'm with you with NBC. Knowing full well it's a cliffhanger ending, I'm not sure I'll be able to look away anyway.
The county assessors site for everything state and local. I will briefly check national, but I dont need the pageantry of network television to rile me up anymore than I already am.
Either at a partisan gathering or curled up under my bed in the fetal position while my dogs lick my tears, depending on how things look tomorrow evening
I’m watching it all on AP and BBC.
Politico has a map and score that get updated https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/
Owned by Axel Springer... No thanks. Reuters has a map too if that's important to you. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elections/
NPR as well. https://apps.npr.org/2024-election-results/
There's a divey bar 10m away where people have been watching results the last few years. Might head down there. Pretty sure it'll be packed.
Alternative is to crawl into bed and wait till January.
Edit: we have a lot of local races (Mayor, City Council, propositions) on the line. Might hit the bar just to watch those and just ignore the national stuff.
CBC/BBC/Al Jazeera, checking the Economist for my minute by minute bellweather county level fun.
I'll be making sure my thermal scope has fresh batteries and my fastest car has gas to GTFO of my state if need be. Thankfully I live in a city that rednecks think is some kind of blue Baghdad so I'm likely fairly safe.
Already watching... Dixville Notch voted an hour ago. 3-3 tie.

returns?
Two possible scenarios:
-
OP’s autocorrect wrote “returns” when they meant for the post to say “results”, in reference to the U.S. election
-
OP knows that the rapture is happening tomorrow when the pious souls will return to Heaven
-
Unfortunately for my sanity over here in UTC+9, I can't just sleep through the whole thing. I'm hopeful that work will be busy enough tomorrow that I won't have time to think about it. What I also know is that it's most likely going to get drawn out longer, so I won't likely be specifically watching anywhere, but just picking up occasional US news somewhat accidentally along the way (either here or via fark). I voted as soon as I could print my overseas ballot and get it in the mail so I've done all I can do.
I'll know the result once i wake up from sleep.
-lemming from the other side of the earth
I'd be surprised if it was decided by then.
Sleep of another day then
Yeah. I think if you're from Europe you probably see the final-ish result in two days or so. Tomorrow will be some counted with many still to go.
Some states do not allow counting early votes early, some states allow a couple days for mail in votes as long as they were postmarked today, plus there will almost certainly be challenges and recounts
270towin
It's currently 11.30 in the morning here, so I'll be sleeping, or at least attempting to.
MSNBC and AP (they have a YT stream)
