US Election - last couple of days.

A parallel thread to the other one that is running.

So far early voting is running at a record high. Looks like they are favouring Clinton at present. High Latino turnout. Overall the polls have tightened though and I think that many are in their margin of error.

And women and African Americans and Muslims and Asian Americans and potentially the Mormons too

Thank frig for the Latinos.

Thank goodness Trump denigrated them throughout the campaign!

Thank you for those figures bread

Yeah your right about every other demographic figure that trump has offended. He wasn't very smart offending all of those as they make up a large proportion of Americans!

I just read there were as there was a high turn out of Latinas voting democratic which is why I said them.

Ok I must go do some work...

Some polls about to close. Apparently Virginia is critical...

Trump leading by 2% in Georgia, 48 - 46.

5% down from 2012.

Sorry that was an exit poll - now 48-47 - polls tightening

First results, I understand, are Ohio and Nth Carolina at 12.30.

Ooh on ITV they are saying Georgia is too close to call!

Yep yep!!!

Trump has Kentucky, as expected.

And Indiana

Clinton has Vermont.

A Polling station in North Carolina will remain open for another hour due to technical issues.

Thank you for the cheery stats, bread

Not a single living US President voted for #Trump as a spokesman confirms George W. Bush and wife left their ballots blank.

Don't think I'm going to stay up late, but do genuinely feel hopeful!

Virginia still extremely tight, however Trump has a slight lead

I've got my beer in the fridge!

1.00 NH, Fla and Pa declare
2.00 Colorado and Arizona
3.00 Nevada and Utah
4.00 California

I'm led to believe.

Commentators are already forecasting the demise of the GOP (stands for Grab Our Pussies according to Bill Maher! )

In Indiana, Clinton is polling better than Obama did in 2012 - she's not going to win there, but it's quite indicative!

Fascinating listening to Republican commentators defending their support for Trump.

They have to tie themselves in knots!

I just heard one say, "He didn't insult all Latinos." "He was talking about illegal immigrants."

This is the phoney war - waiting for the battleground state results!

Breaking news:

There's been a shooting in California - one person dead - polling station closed.

Florida trending towards Clinton!

Uh oh, it's narrowing in Florida - but Ohio's looking good.

8 polling stations staying open in N Carolina - it's going to be a long night!

Pa projected Hillary on 50%, Trump on 46%

Cautiously optimistic.
Democratic commentators look very smiley, the Trumpenistras don't.

Cautiously optimistic.

Same here. But why do I still have a knot in my stomach?

still looking a bit twitchy in Florida
