I work in the Clerks office in Walker Michigan, early processing of absentee ballots has been a game changer. We have already tabulated over 5, 000 ballots. We expect to only have 1000 left to count on election day

From the UK; love the way he relies on a scruffy old A5 ringbinder notepad and not the latest ipad/tablet nonsense. Brilliant!

I'm a 47 year old black guy in Suburban Houston.

I just want to work. Live my quiet life with my family, work, and continue to mind my business.

I ABSOLUTELY believe Trump will turn this country back to what it was in 1950s and 1960s Alabama. Where my mother, aunts, and uncle had ZERO rights. I am not naive to think he only wants the Mexicans, Muslims, or whoever he doesn't like gone.

The stories mg mother, grandmother, and grandfather told me of what it was like back then not sound like fun.

I'm not rich. I"m not in the 1% tax bracket and, frankly, a guy hawking $400 gold shoes and $60 bibles doesn't care about me or what i pay for groceries, medicine, or mortgage.


VOTE.

Pennsylvania is the biggest wild card on the east coast.

I am a 18 year old student who would like to have peace and unity in this country

I was so impressed that he talked about the in person absentee voting (IPAV) in Milwaukee correctly! Best wishes for a short election night for Steve and all of us! Love from WI

Im Canadian and I’m so nervous for you guys . Its insane!

Arizona needs to get their s*** together. 10 - 14 days?

[jordyb]

Everyone should vote AND everyone should be prepared for the “worst outcome.”

[scorpioninpink]

Arizona really needs to fix their electoral law, same with Nevada. Those two states don't even have a huge population.

I love Kornacki. He's got grey pants on though. We need the Khaki, I'm superstitious.

[reginaldphillips]

Why do we give these people so much power? 1 vote should equal 1 vote.

[farlo]

10 to 13 days to count ballots in a small state is the stuff of a banana Republic.

[californianorma]

Yay Steve. This information is very helpful. 🙌🏽

[DogHollow]

Does anyone else think it's completely unacceptable that one swing state could decide the election? We need to get rid of the electoral college vote and have everybody's vote count as one vote, regardless of where they live.

[lawrencekin]

Steve Kornacki is simply the best election analyst ... his analysis is the most credible of them all. He lives and breathes analytics 24/7/365. The guy can very well be a college professor if he wanted to.

[vitaemins]

I would trust Kornacki with my life 😭 He's the only one I'll be watching to get me through this election. 💙💙💙💙💙

Need only to follow these states:
1. South Carolina
2. Georgia
3. Michigan
4. Wisconsin
5. Pennsylvania
6. Arizona
7. Nevada
Of course IOWA might give people a bit of a shock. Also, maybe, Florida.

[viajeconchuck]

Steve Kornaki is the Rockstar of election night.

[bryan]

Why can’t every state be as efficient as Florida and finish counting on the same day?
