So, if nobody's going to impeach #45 any time soon, do you think they could get round to T May before June 8th? [Where's the tongue in cheek emoticon?)

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 17:25

I'm not sure, Pain. It's usually quoted as 'tonight'. Maybe one of the American posters can help you with specifics.

originalbiglymavis · 18/04/2017 17:26

I think I'm going to run for US president. I couldnt do a worse job.

Polls close at 7pm EDT which is 11pm GMT. If GA operates the way most states do, no results are permitted to be announced until after polls close. So look for that day's returns to start rolling in around Midnight GMT. Early/Absentee voting results may be announced soon after polls close.

Trump won this district by 1% point. Hopefully the Dem voters in that district really get out and vote today. You can be sure the GOP voters will.

I live in PDT (3 hours 'behind' EDT), so hopefully the winner will be announced before bedtime here.

AcrossthePond55 · 18/04/2017 17:30

Mavis, when you win, will you appoint me Ambassador to the Court of St James, please? I'm sure you and I can work out a little 'quid pro quo'.

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 17:32

Thanks, Across. Smile

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 17:35

PS - although it may be midnight what with BST. Wink

GingerIvy · 18/04/2017 17:35

If Osoff gets over 50% he wins, right? If not, then there's a run off.

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 17:38

Yes, Ginger. In that seat, though, I can't see him getting over 50% - it's about as solid Republican as you can get.

SanFranBear · 18/04/2017 17:38

Apologies if someone has already responded to you, Ginger but as a member of the Lib Dems, I have already been emailed about how a vote for them in June, is a vote to avoid a hard Brexit. I guess it will still happen seeing as Article 50 has been triggered, but they'll work to make it 'better'.

It's really hard as I have never voted for another party (apart from a socialist vote once in some local elections) but following Farron's 'Bomb them All' stance on Syria, I'm struggling. Like Bigly, they won't get in where I live as we're staunch Labour here which means a yellow vote won't mean the Tories stay in.

I'm so torn - I have never voted tactically in my life and not sure I can bring myself to do it now Sad

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 17:40

I couldn't vote tactically. (Sorry, Across.) Just couldn't do it.

GingerIvy · 18/04/2017 17:47

If this #GeneralElection is about leadership, as Theresa May said this morning, she should not be dodging head-to-head TV debates.

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 17:58

It's possible, certainly. Just not very likely, I reckon.

GingerIvy · 18/04/2017 18:03
