2016 US ELECTION: Official Results Thread

[The Romulan Republic]

Trump still has a pretty solid lead in Virginia with nearly half the vote in. Time to start worrying?

Granted, if Clinton keeps her surprise lead in Ohio, that'll more than offset it in the Electoral College.

[Gaidin]

Fairfax and Arlington haven't really done much yet.

[The Romulan Republic]

I'm starting to get very worried about VA. Big lead for Trump for over 60% of the vote in.

[Patroklos]

FLORIDA

Donald Trump
49.10%
4,306,519
Hillary Clinton
47.81%
4,193,316
Gary Johnson
2.16%
189,763
Jill Stein
0.66%
58,31

Trump up 1.3% with 79% reporting. Given news in recent days I figured FL would be Hillary's.

[Iroscato]

This is much closer than I was expecting, so far. But the night is still young...

[The Romulan Republic]

Basically: Ohio, VA, NC, and Florida: She must win one.

All close, she's behind in two and ahead in two last I checked. Worrying, but unless she loses them all in the end, we're good.

Edit: Shit, sounds like he's leading in all four now. If that holds... well, that's probably all she wrote.

[Patroklos]

Where are you checking stats at TRR?

[Thanas]

I thought Texas was supposed to be competitive now.....

[The Romulan Republic]

Where are you checking stats at TRR?

I've got CNN on.

And no, Texas wasn't really competitive. Their were hopes, for a while, and it'll probably go blue one of these days, but it was never likely this time around.

[The Romulan Republic]

Now Clinton has a lead of less than 100 votes in New Hampshire?

I'm starting to wonder if its time to write off the election, and brace myself for my country going the way of Turkey, Russia, and the Philippines.

Still a long way to go man.

Trump has taken off in Ohio, and is surprisingly maintaining his lead in VA even after most of Fairfax County and the state at 85% reporting. VA going read is quite out there.

For you guys who had been calculating the paths to 270, was VA flipping every considered?

There are many hours in the day, thus many hours on cable news. Yes it was considered, it features in several 269 v 269 projections.

In non-news but useful. The Young turks is officially in freak out mode. Not because they think Trump is going to win, but because Trump has maintained the VA lead so long and just flipped NH his way making a Trump win... possible.

There was an audible sigh on air.

[Thanas]

It is worrying that Trumps lead in Florida, VA, NC and Ohio is growing.

[Terralthra]

Mr. Trump's lead in Virginia has narrowed to about 5,000 votes, with 14% of precincts to go.

[The Romulan Republic]

Thank God for that at least.

If we can just hold Virginia and Michigan, then we win.

[Flagg]

I'm so scared, I'm packing my bags! Oh wait, no I'm not. Shitkicker states full of banjo playing hicks are going for Donnie Douchebag, I never saw that coming!

[The Romulan Republic]

He's currently leading in VA, Michingan, and Wisconsin, as well as Florida, NC, and Ohio, or was when last I checked.

Sure, some of those could turn around, but right now we're looking at a solid Trump win.

And yeah, I'm scared. Trump is an Erdogan, a Duterte. I do not for an instant believe that, if once elected, he will ever leave power willingly or peacefully.

This thread need levity.

[Iroscato]

Yeah no seriously, you are in no way helping matters TRR.

[Dominus Atheos]

NYT has basically called it for trump. Their live simulations have him at 79% chance of victory.

And it's still going up...

[Flagg]

Yeah no seriously, you are in no way helping matters TRR.

But I'm the bad guy who threadshits.

[Patroklos]

It looks like VA is back blue for good unless the remaining ballots in VA Beach are all Trump. Its a military town so he is strong there but I don't think it will be enough to change the state back.

[Iroscato]

Yeah no seriously, you are in no way helping matters TRR.

But I'm the bad guy who threadshits.

You are, and forever shall be, Chaotic Neutral. I have a horrible feeling I'm going to need your humour for the next few years. May you consistently outdo yourself.

[Thanas]

Trump has basically won florida, no way for clinton to come back to take that state.
