Today's the day to let your voice be heard in our democracy. If you have not done so already, PLEASE VOTE! Do it like your life depends on it. Because it could. Then share your thoughts and observations with the rest of us.

We've taken the day off from blogging about Fox News today because we want to focus on this most important message.

We'll be back at the keyboard with our regular blogging late tonight or tomorrow. 

Meanwhile, have you voted? What did you see at your polling place? Where are you watching the returns tonight?

Lead in VA

I have real concerns about voting integrity now. R governors control most states now. Donald Trump may be on to something. Smells like a stinky herring to me.
Lot of polling place misbehaviour in the Houston area. One from West University! Probably one of the most liberal communities in Texas.

FiveThirtyEight is saying she’ll probably win VA.

Rangers lost 5-3. Dow Futures are tanking. Hillary seems to be underperforming. Is this the end for the educated in the U.S.???

I’ve bitten more nails over Virginia than I can count. It’s always like this. AP counts ahead of CNN broadcast. Hilly within 12,100 votes with ~10% to go. So I’m fairly confident she’ll take Virginia.

However, a cautionary tale her underperformance is a surprise.

I don’t see Florida. Sorry but I never counted on it. Hoped for Hillary win there only to let me go to bed.

NBC is saying stock futures are going to shit worldwide. Goddamn you James Comey!!!!

Fox just called NM for Hillary. It’s a big bellwether state so good sign.

May pull out VA, but Fla looks hopeless.

I think Hillary’s tires are all low :(
Ellen commented 2016-11-08 21:35:25 -0500 · Flag
FiveThirtyEight gives her a 73% chance of winning as of about now.

I’m home from holding up signs at a precinct and I got a low pressure warning on my tire so I’m probably not going to the victory party which is about a half mile away and in the middle of nowhere.

Have to say, I’m getting concerned. I’m still optimistic but I wish she had put the election away right away and with a landslide.

Hillary appears to be underperforming in too many states. Not predicting she’ll lose but very disappointing.

Virginia starting to make me nervous. This is how it always plays out but she’s way underperforming her polls and it’ll be a squeaker.
David Lindsay commented 2016-11-08 21:18:53 -0500 · Flag
Dammit she’s losing ground again. I don’t think Florida is gonna happen.
David Lindsay commented 2016-11-08 21:16:06 -0500 · Flag
Trump up 130K. She’s edging up a little. She better pull it out soon.
Jan Hall commented 2016-11-08 21:10:22 -0500 · Flag
Fla 91% in

I sure as hell don’t want to see Florida go Trump.
David Lindsay commented 2016-11-08 21:08:38 -0500 · Flag
Well dammit! I was hoping Florida would go early for Clinton. Too close to call. But they are 75% counted now. Midwestern states have now closed. Trump’s stronghold.

C’mon Florida!! She has a lot of strongholds not yet counted there.

NPR shows CO and MO with Clinton ahead

NPR now 123-97 for the Orange One . . .

I’m getting a real bad feeling. Florida is a stunner. On my 4th beer. Watching the Rangers game and flicking back and forth.

NPR: Drumpf 121-97 (yuck.) Drumpf took TX, WY, & the Dakotas

Fla looks lost :(

CNN: Clinton 97-84, Clinton takes NY (they don’t love you, Donald.)

Waiting for the shoe to drop in New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and Florida. If Hilary takes three of them, it’s over for Orange Donald.

Hillary needs to start making a move in Virginia now. 63% of the votes in and she’s trailing badly. It looks like rural southwest is coming in big for Trump. Coal, farms, and lots of rednecks with Confederate flags in the back window of their pickup truck.

John King looked at Virginia and it doesn’t look like she’ll do as nearly as well as she polled.

Trump pulled out of Virginia then Trump and one of his PACs pumped in endless campaign adds here in the last few weeks while Hillary went silent despite her deep war chest. Probably a mistake on her part.

CNN has Clinton over Drumpf 68-66

Bad news: Drumpf won AL, now up 60-44

Good news: Clinton up in PA, maintains in OH, MI, and IL (and is back on top in TX)

Right now NBC showing Hillary ahead in Ohio. I wrote Ohio off. I hope they call Florida for Hillary soon .

CNN’s broadcast has best feed.

NPR appears to using the AP (via Bing) one I was following. Both lagging badly. Ironically, CNN’s web feed no better than AP/NPR plus it’s interface sucks.
David Lindsay commented 2016-11-08 20:23:49 -0500 · Flag
Florida breaking for Hillary right now. Hopefully they may call it for her in 20-30 minutes.
