This isn't the Brexit.
Lead is upto 275k now.
Votecastr is GARBAGE. Seriously, please don't use it for anything.

There needs to be an election thread bingo
Except everyone knew Brexit would be a tight 1 or 2% in it, go read the pre-Referendum threads, people were shitting themselves.

Votecaster is using a deeply flawed methodology based on partial exit polls that aren't intended for forecasts like this.
I'm just copying that one statement over and over now.

Holy Shit.
As a Bakersfield resident, this joke slayed me.
Good thing I already voted a month ago.
Also stay off Votecastr fam. Not accurate at all.

As a non US citizen, I'm still stuggling to understand who the fuck would vote for Donald Trump?! Have they heard him speak?

For fuck sake, can we stop with stupid Brexit comparisons? It's been proven time and time again how fucking different both situations are.

Voting against the death penalty and my shithead governor might be one of my proudest moments as a citizen.

Of all the dumb things people have been parroting this election, this is by far the #1 dumb thing I am most looking forward to going away forever

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
It's nothing like Brexit.
Voodoo, Dark Magic, and severed chicken heads.
Their methods are completely unproven. My general expectation is that they're straight up worse than exit polls, which are already terrible ways to predict final results.
I can't help but roll my eyes everytime someone mentions Brexit. The context is completely different.
Brexit++ narrative is nonsense.
As opposed to random Drump supporter tweet?
Their methodology may be flawed but atleast its not a fart like the tweet.
Just think everyone, in less than 12 hours we will not have to hear a single more baseless Brexit comparison again.
RCP is full of shit. Its a right wing website that selectively picks which polls to include in its forecast. The have PA, ME, VA, MI, CO, NM as toss ups and MN, WI, OR (fucking Oregon???) as only lean dem. Even with their attempt to paint a rosy as possible picture for Trump they still have Clinton winning.

Meh. I think there are many Clinton supporters that are more nervous than they should be based on the data that we have. I mean, nothing's for certain. Polls have been wrong before. But I mean if you're talking here then I'd argue that PoliGAF is filled with chicken littles that will think the sky is falling even after the election is called for Hillary (if that happens).

If Trump wins, can Canada just come down and take over. Like a concerned parent, Justin will hold America in his arms and whisper, "Shhh, it's ok. I'll take care of everything."
They always do that though for ratings. They did the same thing for Romney and he ultimately ended up losing by 5 million votes.

You and me both.
Just got back from voting, as usual my polling place was pretty empty. No hope of a Hillary victory here, but I'm hoping we retain the KS supreme court justices. It usually wouldn't be an issue, but they've consistently ruled that the state constitution requires higher funding for education than the legislature wants to allow which has caused republicans to campaign against them being retained. Considering Brownback and the legislature have a pretty horrendous approval rating, I shouldn't be that worried, but Brownback did somehow manage to win a second term.
I'm still a bit nervous about a Trump victory, but hopefully the early numbers coming in this evening will assuage my fears and I'll be able to enjoy the evening celebrating the election of our first woman President.

The one we roundly mocked? You know Steve was making fun of that dude right
You sort of answered your own question there
Of course networks will say it's neck and neck, because they want you to stay up and watch on their network!

HAVENT HEARD THIS BEFORE YOU GUYS
No, that's GARBAGE too.
Except that Votecastr is garbage that pretends that it isn't by throwing a bunch of contextual-less numbers together and seeing what pops out.

Man, that means a republican presidential candidate got none of the living presidents backing on both sides.
Hillary with the clean sweep of Carter, Bush Sr., Bill, George W., and Obama.

Had a dream last night that Clinton had 266 EVs and Wolf Blitzer refused to call Nevada for Clinton.

Any talk of a record turnout today?
Canada OK?
I posted this yesterday:
He pretty much has to win every competitive swing state. It's not happening.
Edit: play with it yourself at the bottom of the NYTimes forecast
Improbable. Like coming back from 3-1 down.
