CNN says FL is like 48% in. Guardian and Google say 6%.

Who is correct?

The timeline of the 2012 election.

We probably won't have a clear idea until about 9pm, minimum.

 

[AHK_Hero]

Man BBC showing Clinton 3 Trump 24, 270 to win is worrying.

Ayy you need to read up on the electoral college playa.

Look up previous election electoral college results. The farthest leaning states are the easiest to call. The fact that they were called early means nothing to the full result.

 

[Audioboxer]

The big guns have yet to fire.

Hope so. I mean I know it's true it just sucks kicking off things like this. Florida and Virginia u mad?

I'm a Brit. Haven't followed an American election as close as this.

My sides.

CNN is fucking ridiculous.

 

[The Chosen One]

that's a really interesting exit poll they just did on nbc

 

[sf2fanatic]

I know, but first time watching results coming in live, Florida's particularly frustrating

Oh ok my apologies. Same here on first time.

*Shakes Hands*

 

[Armaros]

Guys she is barely losing WITHOUT ANY DEMOCRATIC COUNTY VOTES IN FL YET.

STOP PANICKING.

Southern FL always takes forever to count.

 

[hughesta]

he's going to win

 

[Soroc]

NH going to Trump?

I really hope not, I would be embarrassed. Good news is that there was major turnout in a state that usually averages good turnouts anyway.

 

[Hazzuh]

How long until the election is rigged?

 

[Izuna]

Am I the only one watching Fox News?

i'm watching

there's like no info just bs

 

[kAmui-]

I know it's really early but seeing everything turn red in the guardian map is scary.

 

[Steel]

FL 52%

Trump
49.2%
2,399,725

Clinton
47.8%
2,331,835

And Miami dade has reported <1%. Same for the orlando area. It's fine.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Oh ok my apologies. Same here on first time.

*Shakes Hands*

Florida is a roller coaster of emotion.

 

[Ascenion]

I'll admit I voted Democrat for the first time in my 6 years of being able to vote. You get one America, only one. Next time a crazy fuck gains influence and the GOP nomination I will vote for him if only to teach you a lesson.

 

[jelly]

At worse Trump will lead for a good bit then Hilary will wipe out the lead in no time right over the line. It's not the end of days. The US coverage is just hyping up nothing. I saw on the news about Obama's last election and it played out much like that just because that's the way states get announced.

[EnlightenedMint]

I was expecting to watch Trump supporters meltdown, but you guys are doing a good job of whipping yourselves up into one too.

lmao

Then we get the Trump meltdown later, it's the best of both worlds

 

[MiamiWesker]

Don't worry gaf, we got this.

 

[Maintenance]

Jesus you guys get worried for nothing.

 

[ArchedThunder]

The fact that FL is basically tied without anything from Boward, and little from Clinton's strongholds means we should be feeling the opposite of panic. It's not going to be very close.

I'm going to keep this message tabbed to keep my self calm every time we get an update from Florida.

This x1000... Relax guys. We Floridians won't fuck this up

 

[Mobius 1]

Wish I could find a decent CNN stream, it sounds more entertaining than NBCs youtube one.

CNN removed their video restrictions until 4AM ET, so go to the mobile app or website and launch their stream. And best - no commercials.

 

[Xplatformer]

You mean FX series Justified?

Yeah...I meant a series here in the states.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

BBC in a bar in Philly interviewing a shitfaced Trump fan.

Did you notice that he didn't have any real answers for the questions. Blah blah immigrants.

 

[friskykillface]

Believe in Goldberg

Still way to early to call anything so Trump will easily lose Florida once Miami reports in

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

I was expecting to watch Trump supporters meltdown, but you guys are doing a good job of whipping yourselves up into one too.

lmao

Trump supporters are going to meltdown once Hillary is declared the winner.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

he's going to win

West Virginia? Yeah that's clear.

 

[LProtag]

I'm getting worried about senate seats, to be honest.

 

[adj_noun]

As a reminder to any US election neophytes, DON'T just vote in Presidential years. Vote in your midterms too.

They're generally not as exciting, but they're vital.

 

[The One Who Knocks]

Why does CNN have breaking alerts of "too early to call", they're basically saying "breaking news: we have nothing to say"

I'd imagine to ensure constant viewership and to try to avoid people looking tuning away. They're switching between screens, graphs, banners appearing on the screens, speakers, projections, and music every four minutes. It's a blatant appeal to the idea that you just can't look away and updates are constantly happening so have to stay tuned in.

 

[Rival]

Am I the only one watching Fox News?

No

 

[Vincent Alexander]

So what are the odds of Democrats gaining Senate tonight...?

 

[SparkleMotion]

Oh my God, all the people in here freaking out with no knowledge of how the election works.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

BBC in a bar in Philly interviewing a shitfaced Trump fan.

They pretty much found the stereotypical white, rural American male, it was pretty impressive. Nice to know people are watching this and being tolerant though.

Edit:
Also, I get that it's frustrating for those that do follow politics but the amount of pedantic holier-than-thou posts are getting just as old as people freaking out. Chill.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Has there ever been so much diablosing in a single thread?

 

[Elfstruck]

This must be some of yall's first election for you to be freaking rn, for real. Chill.

LOL Seriously. Wait until 90% of the vote comes in before panic.

 

[Baron Aloha]

So what happens if Hillary wins but the dems don't take back the senate? Are they going to hold the supreme court hostage for another 2-4 years?

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

You mean FX series Justified?

Is it accurate? Cause that's my assumption of those places as well lol

 

[maquiladora]

FL 55%

Trump

[Intheflorsh]

You guys need to chill the fuck out lol

 

[LifEndz]

"Florida looks very good...Hilary outperforming Barack's margins...she has a slight lead in North Carolina."

Keeping it 1600 for life!

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Guys she is barely losing WITHOUT ANY DEMOCRATIC COUNTY VOTES IN FL YET.

STOP PANICKING.

Southern FL always takes forever to count.

*Uses inhaler*

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

"JAKE! Look at the big board NOW!"

[Sohter.Nura]

Holy shit at trump up 2% in Florida.... go damnit.
