I am tired of having to listen to all the side theories of every major news outlet and their interpretations of the votes as they come in. Is there anyone better than another to get more solid info and less bullshit?

Not being a dick but how are the election result reporting not unbiased? They’re all using the exact same API so the numbers shouldn’t deviate as long as they’re all in sync. I’m sure as shit not tuning into a network news station so sorry for the ignorance.
Can I directly use the API myself?
Here’s the API dev site
Neat. Thanks!
This is all I need, Thanks for not being a dick.

Good lord that was midleading for a second.
If you click a state, you can see the states individual results. In my case Ohio. So even though the counting hasn’t started, I could see Kamala Harris, and 3 independant nominees. It did NOT show trump.
I was thinking “wait, is he somehow disqualified from running in Ohio??? Is that why he’s been pissy about Ohio??? You’d think this would have been well talked about news!!!”
Nope. None of that. There’d just a push button expanding page. Why would you use an expanding page when there’s only 5 items on the list??? And if you ARE going to cut off one candidate in the expanding list, why not one of the three independants who may as well all be named “Why bother???”.
But then you expant the list, and trump is number 5 in the presidential race in Ohio…with all 5 sitting at 0%.
Of note, Kamala is #2.
I read this and was like “10 bucks says it’s just alphabetical” and, lo and behold, it’s just alphabetical. How is that not the obvious answer?
They haven’t even started counting yet.
You need to take a fucking chill pill, my man.
An incapacity for intellectual self-defense leads to omnipresent failures to understand how literally anything works, hence everything is a conspiracy.
Constantly overwhelmed by the most minute requirements to apply basic logic, the boogeyman is everywhere and thus must be nipping at their heels. Of course!
The terror of the constantly incomprehensible, the unreflected-upon frustrations about their own ineptitude, and the mockery meted out by those around them who aren’t so fucking stupid form and perpetuate a pathological identity which allows itself to be fueled only by further hate and division. Everything that challenges this identity model is the enemy. It cannot be reasoned with by neither logic nor love or empathy.
It’s tragic, but also fucking embarrassing.
Thanks for the link. This has just what I was looking for, even county level. The only thing I don’t know yet is how well it updates, that was an issue in the past between different interfaces and their refreshing. But that was a different internet too.
Lol why wouldn’t they just show both years on this demographic? What’s the point of have the api for the live streaming data in the text but not in the graphic? To quote the retired NoSho league MVP Shoarsie, “Sodumb.”
Edit: OH FUUUUUUUUUUUCK ^IM ^THE ^ONE ^WHO ^IS ^SODUMB, ^I ^SEE ^IT ^NOW
