  - Ohio & Penn will flip -- nm - mud Nov 3, 18:13 2
    - I'm not calling Ohio yet, but I'm heartened by what I'm seeing there so far. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 18:15 1
      - (and western PA has a lot in common with eastern OH, yes) -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 18:16
  - Might be especially long in Georgia. - Beryllium Nov 3, 18:13 1

- Is that legit? -- nm - colin Nov 3, 18:07 1
  - It was the most likely D pickup after Arizona. The snap call is somewhat surprising, though. -- nm - Tim, not a doctor Nov 3, 18:08

      - I mean, we can talk trends but seems odd to castigate mud about data when the data isn’t on your side. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 18:08
      - Expect NC to keep tightening as early/absentee came in first, but who knows where it will land at the end. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 18:07

- Has someone called those 3 for Biden? -- nm - 🦃 TWuG 🚀 Nov 3, 17:50 4

the mine that supplied 90% of the world's coloured diamonds stopped production today after 37 years. - mafic Nov 3, 17:29 5
- Is there a shortage or are there tons in vaults waiting to be released? -- nm - jnine Nov 3, 17:31 4
