    That's Cincinnati on the map, not Cleveland. Someone going to get fired.

    I guess Trump technically. 3 states have been called (IN, KY, VT) and they went the way they were expected to. No surprises.

    It's going to be a short night - East Coast should end the presidential race early. Exit polls are horrendous for Trump.

    Open a bottle of wine. Log off. Return in a few hours. Read. Laugh. Go to sleep.

    I voted for Gary Johnson, as I believe in neither candidate, and wanted to express my displeasure for the two candidates sent forth by the major parties.

    Stupid? Yes, probably. But if I can help an independent candidate towards maybe 10% of the popular vote, then maybe we'll get some real talk about potential third parties having more voice in the national scene, then I'm all about that.

    Looks like Clinton will take Florida - 50% with 6% reporting.

    Florida going Clinton basically seals the deal.

    Could be an early night.

    Something to keep in mind, early returns often lean Republican because rural counties are smaller and finish their counts earlier.

    That's not necessarily the case in Florida where we're already getting results from Miami, Tampa, and Orlando although an estimated "0%" of the Miami vote is in. Still a lot of counting to do there.

    If you were to go to Drudge, you'd think Trump is winning every state. What a POS.

    Apparently there's been a shooting at a polling place in LA.

    I expect it to.

    Ironically, the media is the main engine that was falsifying Trump making up ground in the last week or two. I don't think that actually happened, and I think Clinton's lead was larger than the media had estimated.

    What source are you guys watching? CNN just said that Trump is up by 118,000 votes in Florida.

    That's hilarious.

    I know you're from Ohio (IIRC), and I'm near Ohio. Maybe most people don't know Cleveland sits on Lake Erie?
