Meltdown as liberal outlet’s iconic election night tracker predicts huge Trump win

Liberals deplored the New York Times election needle, which predicted a victory for Donald Trump over Kamala Harris.

The needle is intended to predict what will happen in an election based on the partial results available when they arrive on election night.

“Our election night forecast shows an extremely close race. Nearly all votes counted so far indicate a very close election, as expected,” the paper’s chief political analyst Nate Cohn wrote earlier Tuesday.

However, the paper’s Democratic-leaning readership began to complain about the numbers because it showed Trump was likely to carry North Carolina, Georgia and the election.

“Does anyone have a timelapse of the NYT needle from the last election? Watching it in its current state makes me nervous as F***,” one social media user wrote.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald noted at the time that Trump has a 77% chance of taking Georgia, with a 65% chance of winning North Carolina.

These results would make the “blue wall” states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan in the Midwest Harris’ only path to the White House.

Liberals have gone even further into overdrive since the needle’s existence.

Another said: ‘Seriously F*** The NY Times needle. It’s just clickbait for hysterical election followers.”

A California-based voter cited a possible “red mirage” stating, “This is why I won’t look at the stupid NYT needle.” All it does is increase fear across the board.”

“Oh for goodness sake, the NYT election needle is back. NO ONE WANTS THIS,” Rachel Sklar posted.

“Advice I gave to comrades abroad: Exit polls are pointless, they’re fake news, ignore them, ignore the stupid NYT needle, no one ever knew anything about the outcome and no one knows anything now.”

It was thought that the needle had been compromised by a strike by technical staff at the newspaper.

Despite the concerns, the Needle was working early on election night.

As the name suggests, the Needle is an image that uses voting results and other calculations to indicate the probability that one of the presidential candidates will win.

Trump leads Kamala Harris in Georgia, where 75% of the votes have been counted.

Donald Trump has 52.1% of the vote, compared to Kamala Harris who has 47.3%.

Most counties around liberal-leaning Atlanta are reporting more than 70% of their results.

However, the areas surrounding Savannah, which also tend to be bluer than the state, have not yet reported many votes.

As it stands, Trump has a lead of nearly 200,000 votes, 2,103,900 to 1,899,561 in the key battleground state.

The state’s critical 16 electoral votes are considered necessary for both candidates to secure a victory in most scenarios.

The Harris campaign still feels there is opportunity to win the crucial battleground states of Georgia and North Carolina.

In Georgia, rural turnout is largely in line with what the campaign expected, while early voting in the suburbs was higher than what the Harris camp expected.

In North Carolina, there were long lines at two major colleges — UNC-Charlotte and UNC-Wilmington — and late-arriving ballots that got in the way of the vice president.

Donald Trump has soared to an all-time high in the betting markets with a 72 percent chance of winning as the former president takes the lead in the crucial swing state of Georgia.

Trump has so far won victories in Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, Ohio, Louisiana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Arkansas.

While Kamala Harris has won Vermont, Maryland, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, Illinois, New Jersey and New York.
