So is votecastr not believable? Because they have hill ahead in each battleground state by a large margin except Ohio where she's ahead 30k

They are not. Just go vote.

 

[maquiladora]

Think CNN is showing their exit polling too soon. Should wait till at least 7 EST.

It will be exit poll data not results. So it will be stuff like "How important is a strong leader to you?"

Ken Rice ‏@kenricekdka 8m8 minutes ago
PA official: Voter turnout today could exceed 80%. Would be highest total since Bill Clinton vs George HW Bush in 1992 (83%)

If this is anything close to true Clinton and McGinty cruise in PA.

I can't handle all of this hope right now.

 

[oatmeal]

Oh look, Eric Trump's trophy doll is getting to flap her mouth hole on CNN.

Gross

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Indeed. 1$ ~ 60 INR.

I dont know how this solves black money though?

Those notes are the main ones used for large under-the-table payments.

Exactly.

High dollar cash transactions happen in this large denominations.

E.g. if I want to buy land in India, most owners will ask for a mix of white and black money. So something costing 100,000 will have me give 60,000 in white and 40,000 in Black. That black money is all cash.

There is this whole black money economy, that is pegged at 20% of GDP.

It would be crap showing Trump ahead, and it's crap showing Hillary ahead

Its real time exit polling. All exit polling should be taken with a grain of salt.

Wait, wait... I went through the bowl of leftover Halloween candy that was brought in

LOCK HER UP!

 

[RustyNails]

It's two things:

Fakes. Lots of them, some sent via ISI-Nepal route.

Counter Black money. Remove the higher currency notes from circulation and black money is almost gone.

Someone I know has 150,000,000 INR in black money which will be in 500/1000 Rs. Notes. That is cash/black money they never paid tax on. And they are now fucked.

Isn't this government taking away people's money? What if someone withdrew 500 and 1000 INR from bank in cash and kept it in home?

 

[Zona]

Don't do this to yourselves, guys...

Every time.

 

[Plinko]

I don't know if I'd go instantly assuming high turnout means an easy Clinton win.

 

[Blader]

80 percent turnout in FL *and* PA? Holy shit.

 

[Diablos]

If this is anything close to true Clinton and McGinty cruise in PA.

Ken Rice is a good news anchor. He wouldn't lie or mislead.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I don't know if I'd go instantly assuming high turnout means an easy Clinton win.

Historically speaking, it kind of does; the GOP doesn't invest the amount of political capital it does in voter suppression for no reason.

 

[Barzul]

First exits are always this early (5pm est). Then there will be a second round of exits which will be slightly less wrong but still fairly dumb.

Oh didn't know this.

 

[newshinycd]

80 percent turnout in FL *and* PA? Holy shit.

?

 

[Grexeno]

I don't know if I'd go instantly assuming high turnout means an easy Clinton win.

I would. High turnout favors the Democrats, and there's been absolutely no evidence of the "hidden white Trump voter"

 

[whyamihere]

Yes it does!

 

[maquiladora]

Its real time exit polling. All exit polling should be taken with a grain of salt.

It's not exit polling at all. It's real turnout numbers combined with pre-election polling data to try to predict votes. It's an experiment.

 

[Veritigo_X]

I don't think the Trump Monster Vote is actually real.

Not like this.

 

[jbug617]

Come on Philly. Not sure how much white people will turn out for Trump in the rest of the state.

 

[Zona]

I don't know if I'd go instantly assuming high turnout means an easy Clinton win.

That's exactly what it means. Theres more D's and Lean D's around then R's and Lean R's, the problem has been getting them to actually show up to the polls.

 

[Grief.exe]

I don't know if I'd go instantly assuming high turnout means an easy Clinton win.

I equate it with low propensity voters showing up to the polls, Hispanics, African Americans, millennials, etc.

Old white people always vote, going to be an improvement for both campaigns but turnout always disproportionally tilts the results to Democrats.

 

[Grexeno]

It's not exit polling at all. It's real turnout numbers combined with polling data to try to predict votes. It's an experiment.

Yep, and you wouldn't put any stock into an experiment that hasn't finished yet, would you?

Hmm...well, I hope you're all right.

Michigan media is reporting huge turnouts in some GOP precincts.

Is this good or bad?

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Isn't this government taking away people's money? What if someone withdrew 500 and 1000 INR from bank in cash and kept it in home?

No.

So, government earlier this year gave everybody the opportunity to declare black money, pay a 45% tax on it. A lot of people did, almost to tune of 65,000 crore INR. They paid tax and converted it all to white money.

Now, if you have cash in white, you can deposit these back into the bank and it will go to your account.

If your cash money is black...well you should have declared it in the no-penalty period.

E.g. we have around 5,00,000 INR cash at home right now. Most of it is wedding gifts from my marriage last year. It is all accounted for, so we will just deposit it in bank and no issues.

Even if someone just somehow deposits the black money into their bank, it will become taxable and be part of the actual economy now.

 

[Iolo]

cartoon_soldier do you have any data on Utah

 

[Doc Holliday]

Hold me GAF, after not betwetting this whole cycle I'm getting super nervous as poll closure time gets closer.

 

[bluepolicebox]

I don't drink. Starting to question this particular life choice.

 

[superdeluxe]

What kind of margins do I need to see in Key Counties to feel good about some of these swing states?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Heroin would be a better choice for tonight.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

None. But I did see that Utah HRC offices were doing GOTV to the max.

 

[maquiladora]

Yep, and you wouldn't put any stock into an experiment that hasn't finished yet, would you?

Of course. But it's interesting to follow while we wait for exit polls....

 

[User 463088]

Early exit polling information that is given to the public is not top line. It's things like "What is your most important issue?" or "When did you decide to vote for your candidate."

It's also terrible and inaccurate.

 

[avaya]

FLA is nowhere near on target for 80% turnout.

74-75%, 9.5m votes.

 

[BobTheFork]

Is this good or bad?

Increased voter turnout is good.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Just saw on CNN that 2 people in Florida were fired for not following procedure

 

[Grief.exe]

Is this good or bad?

It's fucking hype.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

More Florida turnout news! This was expected.

Key counties of Miami Dade, Hillsborough, and Broward have also surpassed 2012 turnout.

Why am I getting scared. Why is this close. Uggghhh. My bed is dank.

Exactly.

Did they rig something

 

[Angry Grimace]

I have to admit I'm laughing a little at the diablosing that "maybe all of the increased turnout is Trump voters!"

Even at the most basic level, its pretty simple: there are more democrats than republicans. Republicans just have a higher propensity to actually vote.
