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.

TheDoctor

Florida getting their numbers in quickly. Over 80% now

aloyisious

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

Tehy will recount it for days if it ends in a few 1000 victory.

Texas is close??

N/C and Ohio trending to Hillary. Texas will be an shock if Hillary gets it.

Phoebas

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

Akrasia

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

I saw a couple of garden signs of Hillary/Kaine in Austin, but MAGA baseball caps at the F1.

TheDoctor

Nice early entertainment from Florida.

Christy42

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.

38 votes in it at 88% - Clinton ahead in Florida...

Jesus...

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

TheDoctor

Blue really suits Texas

Florida is tighter than a ducks arse with 88 % in.

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

CNN seem to be saying it favors Clinton.

Quin_Dub

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

Quin_Dub

North Carolina coming along nicely for Clinton 51% of the vote with 57% counted..

Brian?

Rove is leaning towards Hillary winning Florida.

TheOven

Florida could end up going to Trump.

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