Biden Is Projected To Be The President-Elect. Here’s How It All Went Down.

In several states that report turnout by party registration, the share of registered voters has been getting bluer over the course of the day. In Broward County, Florida, for instance, Democrats led by 4 points in votes cast between 7 and 1030 a.m., by 8 points in votes cast between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., by 11 points in votes cast between 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m., by 15 points in votes cast between 3 and 4, and by 21 points in votes cast between 4 and 6. Among other things, this may make exit polls even less reliable than usual for predicting the vote, because if you’re only surveying people who have voted by a certain point in the afternoon, you’re not getting a representative sample of Election Day turnout.

In one very specific respect, though, the Trump era seems to have bolstered American democracy: We’re talking about record turnout, two years after a high-turnout midterm election.

We are starting to get the very first results in Indiana. Because they’re very sporadic, though, they don’t tell us much yet.
