Election Day

[Dakota]

He's up in VA - all counties reporting at 77 percent.

Trumps up 2 percent in NC

Hey crabcake - check the upper end of NC that hasn't report, blue or red??

I *think* they will go red; our biggest dem areas are Raleigh (wake) & Charlotte (mecklenburg); most outer lying counties are predominantly republican. But I am not certain; we have a LOT of counties!

...and FOX says.... Trump 139, Clinton 104.

Fox has called Missouri for Trump, but not Louisiana. NBC has the opposite.

that is why I am having trouble figuring out the map.

My parents live in Carry, not sure what county that is, but they are die hard Republicans. Along with the rest of the neighborhood.

I think Trump will have it; only two counties left. And he is up 200k votes right now.

Trump numbers will surge if they ever post Florida numbers...

Cary (Central Area for Relocated Yankees) is in Wake County (where I also live), and it went blue ... which surprised me given how many damn Republicans we have!

 

[Dakota]

I think Trump has NC, up 100K = winning big league

 

[vraiblonde]

Hillary will win California, so tack that on and Trump has a long way to go.

What's making me happy, whether or not Trump wins, is that the Republicans who endorsed Trump are winning and those who came out against him are losing, so sayeth Fox. So that pretty much shuts them up with that bull#### about how Donald Trump will hurt the GOP candidates.

What sucks is that Trump can win an overwhelming majority of states AND win the popular vote, and still lose the election.

The problem is what matters is the Electrical College vote.

 

[crabcake]

For NC, the numbers Fox is showing are behind. Local data has Gov. McCrory ahead by 50k (fox shows him behind); and Trump is up 210k votes over Killary.

 

[crabcake]

Strange, the two counties unreported earlier are now in, and one that WAS in is now showing results out (northeast).

I believe Trump has NC.

 

[Dakota]

they just jumped Trump's odds of winning to 75 percent or there about.. ha ha ha ha

gotta love it!

Trump is up a few percentage points in NC with a few historically reds to report in

Evan McMullin is doing very well in Utah so those 6 electoral votes may not be in play. :shrug:
