Liberals bemoaned the New York Times’ election needle, which has predicted a win for Donald Trump over Kamala Harris. The needle is meant to predict what will happen in elections based on the partial results available as they arrive on election night.’Our election night forecast shows an extremely close race. Almost all of the vote counted so far points toward a very close election, as anticipated,’ wrote the paper’s chief political analyst, Nate Cohn, earlier Tuesday.However, the paper’s Democrat-leaning readership began to bemoan the numbers as it showed Trump as likely to take North Carolina, Georgia and the election.’Anyone got a timelapse of the NYT needle from the last election?

Journalist Glenn Greenwald noted at the time that Trump has a 77% chance of taking Georgia, with a 65% chance of winning North Carolina.Those results would make the ‘blue wall’ midwestern states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan Harris’ only path to the White House.Liberals have gone into further overdrive from the needle’s very existence.  Another added: ‘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 anxiety across-the-board.”Oh for f**k’s sake the NYT election needle is back. NOBODY WANTS THIS,’ posted Rachel Sklar. ‘Advice I gave to comrades abroad: Exit polls are meaningless, they are fake news, ignore them, ignore the stupid NYT needle, no one has ever known anything about the outcome and no one knows anything now.’ The needle was thought to be endangered by a strike by technical workers at the newspaper.
