Yeah, I know you're right, just makes me nervous (plus the usual dismay at the politics of half the country).

watching very closely Florida... agree with some...  suspect we'll see Florida called much earlier than we've seen in past elections.  Clinton still ahead... and the Miami area (as No. Va) will be a huge Clinton voting block.. yet will be counted last.  If the sticks gets counted up.. and Clinton is still ahead.. or even close.. Florida gets called for Clinton.

and bennett moves ahead of Comstock...200 votes out of 80k counted so far. that will likely be a recount.. no matter who wins...

Altogether very good for Hillary so far. Outperforming Obama in Loudoun County, VA... ahead in all important New Hampshire and Ohio early on. Could probably be considered to have things locked up before 9:00 PM Eastern.

Loudoun is the meat of the 10th Congressional.. the Comstock race I'm following... it has been a bellweather area for this state for years...

No point posting much so early. Do wanna say though, thus far the polls are holding. Meaning a Clinton landslide is not happening. The Senate looks good thus far.

so far so good on the Senate....  good gains in the house..  not enough to take it but the chances are that were pretty slim and I do the FBI 'dud' closed that opportunity.

TX was called for Trump in a heartbeat it seems likeLOL GA is...near 20 points ahead for him. 
Pretty much everything is going as expected. I figured she'd lose OH and so far it's not even close for her. 
Disturbing how he leads MI...I'll pray they haven't gotten to Detroit yet

good thing I didn't put any money on Tx...  it was my longshot surprise... LOL 

Michigan is way early... it might be closer than normal.. (even doing better than Romney) but how many Muslims (largest concentration in the country around Detroit) do you think are voting for Trump. LOL He doesn't win Michigan IMO.

Georgia is one I've starting really watching...  the fact they haven't called it despite the lopsided totals tells me they know something..  a lot of urban suburban Atlanta votes out there.  Howevers soon as I saw the exit polls for Georgia I figured Trump would win that won...  he won Independents by 5 points... and that will probably give him the edge in a tight race.

Well...despite the laughter at 538 for "worrying the world" seems even they overshot it....this is not looking very good. 
It's still early for many states BUT this is not a good sign. If she wins it will be very very tight.

not really... it came down to Va, Pa, Co, WI...  Trump wasn't likely at all to break that blue wall.. anything above that (OH, FL, NC, GA, or AZ) was padding the victory margin...
