I just voted. It feels like that helped with a lot of the anxiety I was feeling.

Seeing some gaffers revealing their pro-Trump affiliations on Twitter this morning. Including some people who came in here, made a couple of posts, then left when they realized they were probably alone here.
It's making me wonder if his supporters will shrink back when Donald loses. I'm sure we've all been wondering this for a while. But if he makes a legitimate concession speech, and the media stops giving him a pass for every heinous and deplorable thing he does on a weekly basis, I could see Trump supporters shrinking away. My hope is that there is a degree of embarrassment of being rejected so publicly. To have your ideology crushed and stonewalled should, at best, make you more introspective. But, at worst, maybe you'll just stop talking.
If Donald's concession speech is combative and he doesn't stop campaigning, I don't know how we'll deal with that. He doesn't have to run for president, but he could still be a figure who holds rallies of dissent. What would we do if he just continues campaigning against the president and telling his supporters to take back America? We would have a pretty enormous sect of indecent people organized and motivated to combat a liberal America. That's some scary stuff.
Because I feel like Fox and CNN are going to continue to give Donald all the coverage and airtime he wants because he will continue to drive viewership. He has a cult beneath him - he will continue to be news. Is there any escaping it?

You know, from all those polls that get released in the middle of the night before Election Day.

Says who?
Yep, I said this 3 OTs ago;
When it becomes clear that the American people reject Trump's bigotry, that sort of behavior isn't going to have a cover anymore and a lot of people are going to be power-walking that shit back, saying they were only joking and whatnot.
Thanks to everyone here for the wild ride, I'm fairly optimistic today that you guys will be making the right decision. I'll be staying up all night here in the UK to follow this election as I have done for the last three election. I've been three for three in my preferred candidates winning so hopefully Hillary continues that tradition.

Voted Hillary Clinton and straight Democrat. Thanks Poligaf for this wild ride! I said this in the other thread but I'm confident in Clinton and think she' she'll make a great president but even if this election was between George W. Bush and Donald Trump, I'd vote for Bush even with full knowledge of how terrible he would be. The things Trump has said and plans to do are far more dangerous and destructive than anything Bush did.

Of course they think they have an uphill battle in Ohio. She's led like one poll there in forever.
This too.

Votecastr is exit polling, right?
Also, who should I tune into tonight for TV coverage? I sort of don't want to watch CNN because I'm mad at them.

+15 nationally tho. Come on I'm trying to outsmart Nate Silver here
I legit snarfed my coffee

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Votecastr is a trash idea.
I am 100% convinced early exit polling (some of which was released just after lunch time EST) on 2004 election day is what quashed any chance Kerry had. Reports were everywhere on radio, TV, and the Internet that Kerry was leading exit polling in swing states. I believe that energized Bush voters and depressed voting for Kerry.
Kerry wasn't a good candidate and the swiftboat stuff hurt him, but that exit polling debacle was garbage. They stopped releasing that information that early after that.
It may not be exactly exit polling, but it's still something for people to track and say, "Eh, I don't need to go now."

Doesn't mean it can't be won. Just it's going to be close if they do etc. plus both camps should be weary of everything all day.
Pretty sure she is going to lose MA today. Just a hunch!

Not really. It's a mix of their proprietary polling combined with real time data on voter turnout.

I'm literally begging you all to not do the Votecastr thing. That data is going to be useless and just freak you all out. Don't. It's a terrible idea, and it should never have been done.

She said they're expecting a bigger loss in OH than expected, I'm not optimistic.

Well I'm basically throwing away my vote in Mississippi in a few minutes, but at least my vote will go towards a national vote total to fully discount Donald and I can have a clean conscious that I did what I could. +1 straight D ticket, I doubt a single one of my choices wins.

I was considering staying up late to see the result (I live in EU), but the winner is usually declared sometime 5-6am my local time (earliest) so I guess just waking up earlier than usual makes more sense.
Good luck US! Let's hope for peaceful voting.
