And barely any precincts from Miami/Dade, Palm Beach, and Broward County reporting.

So these are essentially early votes so far right? I thought the Hillary campaign said they saw very favorable internal poll numbers?

Unless I'm reading this wrong and it's still way too early, even for early votes.

It's still too early, the democratic counties have reported in less than 1% of ballots.
 
As an outsider why is Florida such a important state ?

People keep saying if they win Florida they win the Whitehouse , what makes florida so important compared to other states ?

It has a lot of electoral college votes and tends to shift each Presidential election--same with Ohio. It's kinda a bellwether for Prez elections.
 
Does Evan Bayh losing in his senate race mean that the Senate is almost certainly going to be Republican after the election?

The state has a decent amount of electoral votes and has been consistently close in the past.

The other high population states (TX, NY) are easy to predict. Basically it's a swing state that is worth a lot of points
 
FL 58%

Trump
50.1%
2,719,809

Clinton
46.9%
2,543,409

Hillary has been doing very well in Hillsborough tho, an indication she will probably win the state and therefore the presidency too :)
 
Sounds like my dad. I'm trying not to laugh whenever I hear him getting excited. lol

I'm not sure if me having to temporarily stay here with them while the election is happening is a good thing or a bad thing. We are on political opposites which has been frustrating, but I can see his reactions real time if Trump loses.

Most of the states are automatically red or blue. But Florida is a swing state with a pretty split population. Trump cannot win without it, but Clinton has more viable paths even if she does lose it.
 
Per @chucktodd: Clinton ahead by 16pts in Loudoun County, VA

"Loudoun county is one of our counties to watch nationally. A big Clinton margin here could indicate a strong night for her. In 2012, Obama won Loudoun by 4.5%, 81,900 - 74,800 votes. He won Virginia as a whole by 3%. "

I'm in Loudoun and my wife and I voted Clinton and we typically vote Republican.
