Tomorrow, early results will likely suggest that Trump is leading. This is not because more people overall voted for him; rather, because rural districts have smaller populations than urban or suburban districts, and they tend to vote red. Later, votes in areas with higher populations will be counted, and these tend to skew blue.

Voting is reported by precinct.

Smaller, more rural precincts finish counting first and report first. These tend to swing much heavier towards R than D.

This makes it look like a state is fully and quickly "going red." This is the Red Mirage.

Bigger, more urban districts take longer to count and may stay open to allow everyone in line to vote. (STAY IN LINE)

As those urban districts, which swing much heavier D, start to report in, we see what the news calls The Blue Shift.

In addition, some states don't allow counting of mail-in/absentee ballots to begin until election day.

Those ballots tend to lean very heavily D.

As those ballots come in, the Blue Shift gets more pronounced.

That's what Trump was complaining about 4y ago about how "oh suddenly at 2 am all these votes out of nowhere." Those were absentee ballots being reported.

Additionally, deep red states are most likely to be called very quickly after polls close. This is why it looks like Trump is way ahead in electoral college votes right now.

Eso's Big Fat List of Editing Resources

I went on a rampage, and collected about million PSDs & other resources. I don't really use most of them myself atm, but I thought I'd share them in the hopes that someone else will get some good use out of the masterpost.

If you have any additions that aren't on here, send them to me!

I've tried my best to avoid duplicates of social media templates (eg, only one instagram, youtube, etc. since they tend to look fairly similar) but other than that duplicates are welcome.

I'm also going to be adding a section with links to Simlish fonts, so if anyone has links to those please send them my way. I will keep the site updated!

Please don't send me direct download links, only links that lead to creators' blogs (unless the og posts aren't available) I want to make sure people get their proper credit.

Check it out here (Notion)

Collab creators do not make any percentage of the revenue after release, they're just paid a flat rate up front, so if you want a little of the proceeds to go to the creator, use code "EBONIX" at checkout (it costs you nothing!!!). Also worth noting that because they had some issues with codes in the app today, creators will apparently receive 10% commission instead of 5% commission the next 48 hrs. (LilSimsie shared this in her overview video!)
