Man, some of you really think Hillary will win that easily? I think you guys will be severely disappointed. Not surprising though, considering this site leans mostly to the left.

I'm even afraid Trump might actually be able to win this one. Hope not though.

Really wish us Puerto Ricans could vote in the general elections....Hillary would get the votes for sure.

Pretty much every major polling aggregate is saying that Clinton has the advantage. Even 538, as crazy as Nate Silver has become over the past few weeks, still thinks a Clinton victory is more probable than a Trump.
 
How likely is Hillary to win Florida?

I expect Trump to get OH and TX. I want to know what are Hillary's chances to get FL because I'm concerned if Trump gets both FL and TX.

Edit: looks like her chances for Florida are good. That's a relief.

Go vote, folks..
 
There's nothing saying otherwise, people's intuitions and/or fears aren't enough.

As a minority, I'm terrified. I know the demographics aren't there but I'm terrified.

With Hillary we at least get status quo. Which still sucks for me but it's better than the alternative.
 
Just mailed out my ballot here in CA. Pretty stoked. A lot easier then the '12 election when I voted and just had a bunch of old ladies yelling at me as I walked through.

When you vote by mail do you get any confirmation or receipt that your vote got received and counted?
 
My current prediction, based on current voter turnouts. (Assume the lighter-colored states end up going for that color.)


We should have a separate map thread where everyone posts their 270 to Win map and we can see who was the most correct after the election

I like this idea. If I don't post any further maps, consider 323-215 my final prediction.
 
Anyone in Arizona? You guys think it's likely prop 205 & 206 will pass?

I'm voting for both

205 will pass I think

206 may very well not but I haven't seen any polling

Tried to early vote yesterday.....4 hour long. Gave up because I had to pick up my kids.

They better not pull the same shit they pulled during the primaries.
 
My prediction map:

Good luck America. Don't fuck this up plz!

Don't forget to set back the clock one hour on Sunday night (and one century if Trump wins).
That's Infoman's joke :D

Oh wow Obama is on the way out?

Edit: wtf the guy from the apprentice Is running for president!?! LOL America

I'm nervous for you, America, best of luck.

As far as I'm concerned:

Hahaha that gif isn't real is it? I love it though
 
Three (poor, restless) sleeps to go.


2015, I'm guessing.

I'd like to be wrong about OH and IA, though. Especially IA.

im piggy backing on this and this is my prediction as well. ill post an updated one if there's changes before the 8th but i feel this is a good one
 
I've been seeing Nevada and NH red a lot... why?

Horse race narrative. Major news networks have to give those states (particularly NH) to Trump to pretend to have a competitive map. Clinton wins NH and is sitting @ 272. Trump can then run the table winning OH, IA, NC, FL, GA, NV, and AZ and still lose. Giving Trump NH also lets them wet themselves over a 269-269 tie election.

This is my exact map and I too hope Iowa and Ohio go blue.

Maine District 2 might go Trump, but I think his poor GOTV will keep it blue this year.
 
So, let's say Hilary wins the election... what are the chances Citizens United actually gets over turned? And will we really, in a practical way, see a decrease in corporate spending on elections and individual donor influence?

If you've been following polls and assessing the swing states and the map with an eye on demographics, you might come to see why Hillary will win that easily.

You could also move to Florida and join the tide of PR voters there changing up the electorate this year lol
 
Pretty funny to see people posting NV as red considering she's already locked it up in early voting.

And for anyone paying attention, she's always been a cinch to win. He hasn't cracked her 270 firewall, even when she was at her lowest point before the first debate and needs to turn a blue leaning state like PA, which isn't happening. The Philly GOTV machine will do work.

The questions left to be answered are how the house/Senate races turn out and her overall EV/popular vote margin, which will help determine her mandate when she wins.

I'd say it'll be a mix of 08/12 maps with the loss of IA/OH but the possible gain of a place like AZ and the GOP loss of UT.

The polls have been garbage and they've missed the minority vote all along. Stop paying attention to them. She's gonna win.

I don't think status quo is entirely fair/accurate. I think it's more like painfully slowb progress.
 
hope its a landslide for hilldawg so trump and his supporters can't go claiming rigged election. they need to be humiliated
