    Don with 8,000 votes ahead in Florida now, by CNN, so far, with more counties to give results yet. Broward County and Miami/Dade for HRC

    Hard to see Clinton not winning Florida given the population centres still to complete.

    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.

    Yeah, that makes sense. A blue Texas would be harder to believe than the Orange One in the White House! :)

    Fox have Trump ahead at 91% counted by ~65k , but CNN have the reverse..

    Both of them have almost identical numbers for Johnson and Stein though...

    Confused!!!

    I don't have fox news since I got rid of Sky, I always enjoyed watching them explaining away on how they lost. Karl rove in the last election was particularly nice when he embarrassed himself saying Romney could still win even when fox them selves said he lost.... Classic :)

    Rove is leaning towards Hillary winning Florida.

    Well he initially said he expected Hilary to do worse and Megyns face was a look of "WTF you talking about Karl?"

    Yeah the major population in Miami etc have only still reported 80% but they hold in total around 30% of the whole pop. She will pick up a lot here to make up what she is behind atm

    I would guess this isn't making any allowance for the split of the various districts left to report.

    noone can determine that yet. If I was to forecast, I would say Hillary, by a fraction of a percentage

    538 has also suggested that Trump will win Florida so looking good. He is 1% of the vote up with only around 15%. Hillary is up in the remaining votes but the last few areas in the Panhandle will push Trump over the edge.

    It'll be very close , but it's mostly rural areas left to finish counting which are going his way..

    Only 1 major Urban/Democrat area with any significant % left to count and that's not looking like it'll be enough for Clinton so far..

    ABC had a feed of puppies playing in front of a miniature White House, it was oddly mesmerizing and very therapeutic. Shame it's gone now. I'm not dreaming this up!
