    Broward:

    2012 - 750k
    2016 - 680k so far

    There can't be more than say 200k to come.

    200k would give Clinton about 75k net.

    Clinton may need a clean sweep of the Western swing states, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico now. Colorado and Michigan could be the key swing states

    She's not necessarily on course to win them, and apparently even Minnesota (which was thought to be a 100% banker for Clinton) is in danger.

    Yeah. I feel terribly sorry for quite a lot of the demographics in America, in light of this situation. Their lives are going to get even harder. This victory will embolden plenty of racists and sexists to behave in a certain way and think they will get away with it.

    There has been some delays in certain areas of the state so it could be along time before we get the result here.

    I don't think so, the state exit polls maybe crap, but these results look closer to the national exit poll which had it at a 46-46 tie.

    Florida , as discussed earlier the first number they report are the early vote.
    Not the on the day. So we're seeing a DNC early vote v RNC on the day swing as results come in.
