Delaware very early announced Democrat, then it disappeared from the live votes. Odd, so I went to The Guardian — which has it coloured in red. The BBC still has it as blue, but only one county has finished reporting and it's red there.
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!19.4% of Ohio's votes have been counted according to Politico.
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.I'm watching Fivethirtyeight, ABC, and the New York Times. ABC isn't much good - they don't have county-by-county maps of the state results, but NYT does. ABC and NYT also differ in what % of the vote they say has reported, even when they're reporting the same number of votes - not sure why that is.
Announced:
Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, New Jersey
Vermont, Massachussetts, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, District of Columbia, Rhode Island
Leading:
Virginia, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, North Dakota, TEXAS, Arkansas, Florida , Maine
- Virginia: 43:51 — 57% reporting
- Florida: 48:49 — 70% reporting
New Hampshire, North Carolina, Illinois, Michigan, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio , Mississippi
- Ohio: 50:46 — 20% reporting
Other:
- Removing Democratic strongholds, Trump would need 28 States.
- North Carolina extending voting time in 8 precincts
Electoral College:
Clinton 68 | 66 Trump
