Sweet. Forecast bot on 538 is going to be cool. Essentially, as States call the elections for one candidate or the other, it adjusts its predictions more. Initially it might be a little swingy as the first states are called, but as the night goes on it should be pretty good.

22   Rew   2016 Nov 8, 4:16pm  

Very cool. I love that map.

23   turtledove   2016 Nov 8, 4:22pm  

Is this our race HQ for tonight? Or do we need a separate thread?

24   turtledove   2016 Nov 8, 4:24pm  

Okay, some places are extending polling... Humm.... Someone should sue. Just kidding. This is so exciting.

Has a county-by-county breakdown if you click on Detailed Results.

Florida is swinging back and forth like a pendulum.

Is this going to be updated as states are called? I am not getting any updates since the election started.

27   turtledove   2016 Nov 8, 4:35pm  

VA -- Trump with 53% with 3% in. That's kind of unexpected.

Trump campaign already is! :)

It is exciting. Cannot wait to get home and start drinking. I got myself something sufficiently American last night: Indiana Rye Whiskey ... freaking state just went MAGA TDove! ;)

Cheers All ... and even to you, you true deplorables I have on ignore. :)

29   turtledove   2016 Nov 8, 4:36pm  

KY & IN already called for Trump. Not really a surprise.

Wow. Drudge can't even keep up its ping ponging so much.

31   turtledove   2016 Nov 8, 4:37pm  

Trump 49.3% in FL with 43% in.

=====================

Best part of having your own business. Though it was an insane morning... I HAD to be out of the office by 3:30 cuz I'm not missing a moment.

33   Tenpoundbass   2016 Nov 8, 4:39pm  

I took "Make America Great Again" day off.

34   Rew   2016 Nov 8, 4:42pm  

OOooo ... there is the 538 state by state call and graph ... hot!

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-night-forecast-2016/

You can scrub this back and forth and watch the odds change. Trump ticked up 1%.

35   Rew   2016 Nov 8, 4:44pm  

OOOooooo ... this is fun too:

So far, looks like Trump is out performing Romney

He's getting at least one vote from me for California senate. I was considering Elmer Fudd but I decided he's too much like Lorettta Snatchez so I'm with Deez.

Trying to decide if I like the boob shot or this sentence more...

Trump's got this if he can win Florida.
That damn Florida AGAIN!

It's gonna go back and forth a shitload and whatever happens it'll be by 1-2 pts methinks.

I'm stopping the coffee, and gonna have my semi-annual drink. 7&7

41   MisdemeanorRebel   2016 Nov 8, 5:02pm  

WTF with Virginia?

If it was 1-5% reporting, I'd say just rural. But now around 20% with some urban zones. She's gotta shoot up at some point.

Edit: Over 30%? And still double digit Trump?!

42   anonymous   2016 Nov 8, 5:09pm  

Question on early voting; Are the early votes usually the first to be counted? or not necessarily?

43   anonymous   2016 Nov 8, 5:11pm  

Clinton crushing in Ohio?

44   zzyzzx   2016 Nov 8, 5:14pm  

I just saw them call a state with 1% of the vote in, and at least one more with less than 10% of the vote in.

Otherwise no surprises so far.

No, I think Columbus counted first (heavily Black).

Same in Texas, San Antonio results, less than 1% reporting. Very democrat town

Trump is now only down 0.2% in Florida with 52% reporting and Broward, Miami-Dade reporting total initial results. So Hillary's key area is all in now - but the Panhandle is still counting, so is Tampa and other Central FL counties.

46   Rew   2016 Nov 8, 5:17pm  

D.C. burbs area not reported in yet for Virginia. I think Clinton country hasn't weighed in yet in that state. Could be closer than expected though.

47   zzyzzx   2016 Nov 8, 5:17pm  

Marco Rubio is projected winner for Florida Senate seat. No surprise there either. I figured the name recognition alone would do it.

It's the shock of the night so far. Surprised but I doubt goes to Trump.

As if ?

YOu're so fucking confused. Lincoln was a liberal progressive. You would have been cheering his assassination. Get serious man !

50   zzyzzx   2016 Nov 8, 5:21pm  

Florida 28 votes difference with around 8 million votes cast!

51   joshuatrio   2016 Nov 8, 5:21pm  

Wow. Trump is up by like 20-30 votes in FL right now. Insane.

52   MisdemeanorRebel   2016 Nov 8, 5:22pm  

The CIA vote:

Neat graphics, but the methodology is pretty simple. He's not updating with poll results at all, so it's pretty useless at calling states. It would be sweet if he had a live county by county feed to work with.

54   Rew   2016 Nov 8, 5:26pm  

If Clinton takes Florida before I get home to get my drink on ... :/

She likes a quickie I see.

55   MisdemeanorRebel   2016 Nov 8, 5:28pm  

NH is making me nervous, but only ~10% counted. I have that as my pivot state.

Every state is different. OH and TX report a lot of urban areas first; VA is the opposite.

NC also the urbans are in, lots of suburbs and rurals to count.

56   zzyzzx   2016 Nov 8, 5:31pm  

They just called Alabama, with only 1100 total votes counted.

Let me guess, it went to Hillary!
