    Early

    FL early results arent that reliable. Some counties in Florida are heavily Republican others are heavily Democratic and as they report in counts you're going to see huge jump in count for Trump or Hillary

    Yeah but now it is confirmed. If things go as predicted then it is bad for Trump.

    Yea but Trump was not counting on those smaller states on east.
    Florida is tight now, would make a race of it if nothing else.

    Kelly Ann saying Obama is popular. So much for everything being a disaster.

    Broward county seem's to be the belwether for Florida. It seem's to be heading HRC's way. Curiously enough, it's the place where two poll station staff were fired some hours ago over a dispute about elderly voters using zimmer frames with electronic devices to affect the vote. Only 740 votes between both in - EDIT - one county there.

    Squeaky bum time in Florida!

    Maybe but Ohio is only going one way. The whole election is only going one way. Rednecks vote trump. Everyone else is Clinton.

    Trump did really well in a bunch of exurban counties. Better than expected. It is going to be pretty close.

    I'm not sure what technology in the state uses Zack delayed but I am fairly certain they have updated everything heavily since 2000

    A lot of urban votes still to count in Florida, should favour Clinton.

    CNN seems to be exaggerating how close the race is. They're making it look like there are 50 50 calls by reporting results from small districts as if they matter nationally

    Looks like Hillary has more votes to come in Florida to take it for her.

    North Carolina is also looking good.

    She is winning Ohio but given the population centers seem to be coming in quicker I am not holding out hope.

    It is amusing to see Texas blue but that is just the population centers. Like if San Diego reports first in California - might make it red at the start but everyone knows where it is going.
