This is my first election watching live. At what percentage reported is a state "called"? I don't understand.
Depends of the state.

If it's a state that has always been red, they could call it as soon as the polls close.

Others, like Florida, you wait until the last votes have been counted.
 
Why are people freaking out?

Fine. Go ahead and give Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina to Trump.

He's not winning Virginia, Pennsylvania, or Michigan.

Relax, Hillary has this.
 
If Trump wins bruh

So I'm trying to follow a few live streams on youtube. Holy shit America, your televised election coverage sucks. PBS and ABC both have talking heads performing a post-mortem on the campaign. WTF?

Where's the tally room? Where's the constant updates with the numbers and projections and the seat count. Australian elections are a numbers nerd's delight.
 
This is not a typical R. That "no matter the candidate" argument doesn't matter anymore to me when no previous R president will vote for your nominee.

And Trump has flipped a number of working white class voters to make up for the small percentage of Republicans that voted Clinton.
 
Did anyone actually expect a blowout? Clinton will win FL by the less than 1% which will ruin trumps chance.

Also looks like 538 better predicted the close nature than the other models.
 
I'm watching election coverage on Dutch tv right now and you can tell that the newscasters have a hard time trying to be impartial towards Trump.
 
Ok GAF, what if, now listen to me, what if Trump was right all along. What if his internal pollsters were right, what if liberal media was lying to us along. What if he wasn't crazy?

Has the mood in Trumpworld brightened in the last hour, as I would imagine?

Alan, indeed. They are feeling quite buoyant right now.

One aide just told me to “start saying it: ‘President Trump.’”

To lift everyone's spirits.
 
I think Trump has Florida, if he wins Ohio, Virginia AND North Carolina this is gonna be tight as fuck..
 
You've been lying to me America-GAF, you said Hillary would have an easy win. How could you betray me so?
Even if she does win, it's despicable that it's this close.

I've had enough coffee for the night, time to switch to alcohol.
 
Why are people freaking out?

Fine. Go ahead and give Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina to Trump.

He's not winning Virginia, Pennsylvania, or Michigan.

Relax, Hillary has this.

Dems are worried about both Pennsylvania and Michigan. Both states have a large rural white population that is turning out far higher than expected.
