Handy benchmark check list [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-11-05 Below is an easily copyable and printable benchmark guide for how we are doing on election night. The times (in EST) listed are the times that the Associated Press called each state’s presidential winner in 2020. In parenthesis is the percentage of that state’s vote that Joe Biden ultimately received. Hence, by using this guide, you can follow along by the hour and get a sense of how well or not so well things are going. In other words, if either Kentucky or Vermont is not called promptly at 7 pm EST, then things look good or not so good respectively. I think the real bellwether here will be if New Hampshire is called earlier than it was in 2020. Also, don’t miss Doctor Who’s excellent and more elaborate guide. NOTE: Georgia (49.5%), North Carolina (48.6%) and Alaska (42.8%) were not called until after AP called the election and are not included here. 7:00 pm Kentucky (36.2%) Vermont (66.1%) 7:30 pm West Virginia (29.7%) 7:36 pm Virginia (54.1%) 7:56 pm South Carolina (43.4%) 8:00 pm Alabama (36.6%) Mississippi (41.1%) Tennessee (37.5%) Oklahoma (32.3%) Connecticut (59.3%) Delaware (58.7%) Illinois (57.5%) Maryland (65.4%) Massachusetts (65.6%) New Jersey (57.3%) Rhode Island (59.4%) 8:30 pm Arkansas (34.8%) 8:52 pm Indiana (41%) 9:00 pm North Dakota (31.8%) South Dakota (35.6%) Wyoming (26.6%) Louisiana (39.9%) New York (60.9%) New Mexico (54.3%) Nebraska (whole 39.4%) CD1 (41.3%) CD2 (52.2%) CD3 (22.4%) 9:27 pm Washington DC (92.1%) 9:37 pm Colorado (55.4%) 9:59 pm Kansas (41.6%) 10:31 pm Missouri (41.1%) 10:54 pm New Hampshire (52.7%) 11:00 pm Idaho (33.1%) California (63.5%) Oregon (56.5%) Washington (58%) 11:08 pm Utah (37.6%) 12:06 am Hawaii (63.7%) 12:13 am Minnesota (52.4%) 12:19 am Ohio (45.2%) 12:20 am Montana (40.5%) 12:21 am Iowa (44.9%) 12:35 am Florida (47.9%) 1:06 am Texas (46.5%) 2:51 am Arizona (49.4%) 3:06 am Maine (whole 53.1%) CD 1 (60.1%) 3:24 am Maine CD 2 (44.8%) 4:16 am Wisconsin (49.4%) 7:58 am Michigan (50.6%) Thursday Pennsylvania (50%) Nevada (50.1%) [END] --- [1] Url: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/11/5/2283028/-Handy-benchmark-check-list?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=more_community&pm_medium=web Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
