He has a Trump banner so am guessing theres a bit of jest in posting this? IMO she needs FL right now as I think Trump will edge some surprise Blue states.

Good lol - I think shes edged it in Florida so should keep it - not like its a strong Red state anyway nor a working class state (its middle as fuck).
 
My polling place had a free candy bucket!

Yum!

Voted D down the line. I know GA isn't ready to flip yet. I am extremely interested in the hard numbers for my state both in terms of President and Congress. I want to see how close the gap is, and the difference in votes between Prez and Congress.

My general feel is GA won't flip for 10 years which means 2028 for President. Want to see how my personal theory plays out.
 
Conservative radio great Rush Limbaugh announced to his audience Tuesday that he’s been told that “George W. Bush and Laura Bush voted for Hillary Clinton today,”
 
Don't know if this has been discussed, but apparently Limbaugh said that George W and Laura Bush officially voted Clinton today. Rewind 12-16 months and tell anyone that a Bush was voting for a Clinton and they would call you a lunatic.

Well, I doubt Missouri will flip to Clinton because of my vote, but hopefully I did my part in help flip a Senate seat (go Kander).

Good job!

Never discount your vote even if your state leans heavily one way or the other. You contributed to the popular vote and we will keep the Orange Terror out of the White House!

Good man! Hoping Kander makes it as well. I live across the river in IL but work at the FRB downtown STL. Lots of Kander votes down here.

Awesome, thanks.

Also another question, is there a certain trend I should be looking out for which will tell me what direction one of your elections are going to go... For example here in Canada we just look at which way a couple provinces are swinging and are able to more or less tell who is going to win.

If Hillary wins any one of the swing states (especially Florida) then it's effectively over.

Oh I'd say about 6 to 7 hours. You have to give the east coast and central time to tally. I'd say once you get to around the Oklahoma/Texas area you'll have a great idea of who will win. By then you should have the largest battlegrounds over with. This all of course assumes everything goes smoothly.

Uh, wow. Obama won Orange County, FL by 18%. They are reporting 45k MORE ballots cast than all of '12, with over 3 hours of voting left.

Shortly after 8:00 est should be voting place closing on the east coast. If Hillary holds the blue wall and wins New Hampshire and no other battleground state, she wins, period. So we'll know the result then.

If she wins places like Florida, it's totally done.

I hope this is the biggest landslide win ever. Trump needs to be laughed and booed into hiding every time he steps outdoors for the rest of his life.

GA voter here - my buddy who worked for CNN/ORC seems to think if turnout hits enough GA could actually swing blue. We're already there - just need to go over the hump.

The Secretary of State using an private email server for US business is fucking ridiculous.

It doesn't matter if others in her post did it too. It doesn't matter if she didn't send any confidential information. It doesn't matter what party she belongs to. It doesn't matter if she is old and doesn't understand technology.

Using an email server as a head of state that isn't in a bunker is DC is mindbogglingly dumb. Anyone who knew she was doing this is equally dumb and equally guilty.

The silver lining here is that such a big deal was made out of it that hopefully no one ever does it again.

In 2009, the white house IT setup was straight out of the 90s. She wanted to use a BlackBerry like Barack got, instead she got this trash:

So she used her personal BB on her personal email, and just avoided anything confidential on it. This as someone who before her 2008 run was an email newbie; it was BlackBerry or bust.

That's it. It's not all that ridiculous.

If ATL continues to grow like it is now, it could be enough to flip earlier depending on the candidates.
 
about 8pm is when alot of polls close east coast, the important states are NH penn and NC and FLA..

realistically his chances.. probaby 40-50% depending on turnout. not many people i know (and i live in a dark blue liberal state) are enthused about hillary. frankly most of my friends are not choosing clinton, even though they know for a fact that clinton will win the state.

it all depends on states

real clear politics current no tossup has it down to 4 electoral votes

provided he doesn't pull an upset in another state like MI or Penn,
these 3 states are "key"

colorado
new mexico
new hampshire

PROVIDED he gets all the states on that no tossup map and changes any ONE of these three, he wins.

I called it months ago when people were talking about a depressed turnout because of Hillary and Trump. What they forgot to factor in is that making a racist fascist not be President of the US will energize a lot of people.

This is an election where you really can't be impartial on.
