    The day vote was heavily Republican, Hillary got the early lead with the early vote.

    It's possible Trump wins Florida which means the CNN exit poll was again Bullsh*t for a 3rd swing state tonight.

    Will be wrong as all early votes dumped and treated as 0%.

    It just means 20% of precincts have some votes left.

    Best check is go back to 2012 total vote and add 10% which is what I did in posts below.

    450,000 to come in Palm Beach + Broward.

    You know what Trump may actually have a chance in Virginia.

    And he is outperforming them by a lot.

    I think a critical mistake was counting 18-29 year old's as a greater share than over 65's in the exit polls.
