Results begin showing

[NightTrain]

So far there's only NH showing, Trump 57 to Clinton 38.

A couple more hours should give us a picture of how it's going out there.

From Sky News ... an exit poll covering Georgia. Trump 48, Clinton 47. If I heard correctly, they said that the Democrats won it last time around.

Very early on GA results yet... but Trump is 71.5% to Hellary's 27%.

[NightTrain]

Trump up 2% in FL... that's a crucial one.

[jimnyc]

VERY early thus far - Trump has secured 33 electorates thus far to 3 for Clinton. 50.3 - 46.5% in voting...

[jimnyc]

Gonna be a long night!

[Drummond]

Trump up 2% in FL... that's a crucial one.

A good indicator ... I hope. Our people say that Florida, also Pennsylvania, are indeed crucial.

I received an email from the Tea Party people. According to them, there's a report of a voting machine (not sure if it's just the one) which had refused to accept Trump votes in Pennsylvania. Gives credence, possibly (depending on the cause), to Trump's belief that the election is rigged ...

I now see Clinton with a 1-2% point lead in Florida, depending on where you look. I'm afraid as time goes on, and certain districts come in, she will pull away with Florida. :(

[Drummond]

- Just suggested by an ITV (Independent Television) presenter - that Georgia is 'too close to call'.

[jimnyc]

More polls closed, Clinton leads 68 - 67 in electoral votes thus far

... and if I understand correctly, Florida is so crucial, that if Clinton wins it, she can expect to win the election ... ?

[jimnyc]

... and if I understand correctly, Florida is so crucial, that if Clinton wins it, she can expect to win the election ... ?

It sure as hell helps her!! Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania

Most of the others always go the same way. These states are "toss ups" that can go to either candidate, and then win the election. But IMO, those 5 will be the most important. But I'm not a pro on how the whole thing works, Kath and a few others understand that more than I do. I just know the popular vote, which doesn't determine a winner though.

[jimnyc]

Florida just jumped to 32% reporting:

48.9% Clinton
48.2% Trump

[jimnyc]

And no, I'm not giving a play by play forever, just took a break from things for a few :)

[jimnyc]

Watch Florida unfold - at 85% now:

At 89 percent ... Trump just NOW pulling ahead with one percentage point .. 49% / 48%. Literally around 16,000 voters separating the two, right this minute !!

What a cliffhanger !!

91% now in. Trump appears to be edging further forward, but very slowly, in votes. Around 60,000 votes separating the two.

Looking like Trump will squeak a win in FL... big urban centers are out of the way, now the 'Normal' people will take it away!

[jimnyc]

Trump now has a 76-68 electorate lead

Yes, that is true. Those that were 'close' with the exception of Kirk, ran pretty far ahead of Trump.

At the above link from NY Times, they have him at 305 electoral votes, 92% chance of winning.

[Kathianne]

The only two battleground states called are OH and CO. The rest are open.

As I typed: Now calling Trump has won NC!

[Kathianne]

I must say, while i can't find a reason to cheer for Trump, I can hope you all saw something that I was missing. Well it looks like you all and a whole bunch more.

Still, being me and the interest in politics, this really is like watching Game 7 of the World Series this year!

"....According to a report (http://www.worldtribune.com/report-virginias-mcauliffe-uses-auto-pen-to-pardon-60000-felons-urge-votes-for-clinton/) in the World Tribune, Gov. McAuliffe “used an autopen to sign thousands of letters granting voting rights to felons, enough to put the swing state in Hillary Clinton’s column.” Governor McAuliffe is a longtime Clinton ally, having served as chairman of both President Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign, and Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. The report, which first appeared in the Daily Caller, says that “those who received McAuliffe’s letter also got voter registration forms with pre-paid return postage. No others in Virginia received such a service.”

Yeah, no worries there whatsoever.

[Drummond]

I've been flipping between stations. ITV; BBC; Sky News; and believe it or not, Al Jazeera .. all are covering this election in great detail.

This gives me very much of a 'deja vu' feeling. Back on 23rd June, we in the UK had our 'Brexit' Referendum. Then, few people really, truly believed that leaving the EU would be the decision our Referendum gave us. The polls said it wouldn't happen. The TV channels agreed.

But, on the night, the pollsters were confounded. The TV channels became more subdued, more soberly attentive, to what was REALLY happening ... as the night drew on. Throughout it all, the voting inched further and further in favour of Brexit. Then, by morning, we knew the true mood of the UK as a whole, and Brexit had been decided upon.

Tonight (it's coming up to 6.30 am, locally, as I type) .. I have the feeling of a US-style rerun of that same experience. As yet, it's just a LITTLE too early to say with certainty that Trump will win, though it definitely looks like it ! And whatever channel I watch (including Al Jazeera) there's the same mood of being confounded by the blast of reality each has been fed a dose of. Trump has done better than anyone really believed he would.

Each station reports the subdued shock that the 'Hillary' camp has experienced tonight. I think I've enjoyed that, most of all.

So anyway, I'm about to catch a couple of hours' sleep !! It may not be a 100% certainty yet .. QUITE .. but I'm hoping, expecting, to wake up to news of a known, established, Trump victory.

And in my own way, when I do, I'll be celebrating .... !!

I'm looking forward - I hope I can, anyway !!! - to coming back on here in a few hours to congratulate you all on your good fortune.

Have a great night, folks !!:salute:

[Drummond]

Just one thing to add here, this morning ....

http://www.debatepolicy.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=9456&stc=1

Somehow, I don't think that you're seeing Hillary supporters there !!

All of you who did the right thing and went out to vote for Trump .. you stood up for your country, and saw to it that America's spirit was properly represented. What a brilliant day.

I envy you all. Here's to a brighter future for America !!
