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.

Clinton is still ahead in North Carolina

Ooh Clinton is winning in Texas

Very concerned about Florida now

What are you guys looking at? The guardians got one forecaster tweeting that Florida is 125k ahead for trump, apparently

Where are you watching? Trump is winning in Texas according to ABC and NBC. It's closer than I would have expected there though.

I think the difference is that urban precincts declare later than rural ones.

I've got the BBC, Sky, PBS, slate, (but they are voter estimates).

Four states to watch:
Florida
Michigan
Virginia
Pennsylvania

I've cracked and opened up my first pint - couldn't wait any longer. Only hope it doesn't turn out I'm drowning my sorrows!

And now I'm hearing of a Trump surge!

"Trump supporters creeping to the polls unnoticed by the pollsters" Commentator on R4.

I'm officially nervous. It feels kind of like Brexit night as the media is freaking out.

It feels exactly the same!

Oh really?! I was on a reputable NZ news site, maybe time to change sites...

NY Times algorithm is predicting Trump on 53%. [gloom]

Mexican peso has plunged 6%.

This ain't looking good

I see Trump is narrowly ahead in Virginia

Asian markets falling. Mexican peso now down 8%, Dow futures heading down.

Virginia may go to Clinton.

White working class voting in much greater numbers than forecast.

Thank god, Clinton is back ahead in Virginia.

This is going to come right down to the wire.

Our dollar is still quite high...

Clinton takes Virginia!

But the Senate will remain Republican.

Clinton wins Colorado!

Nth Carolina, Ohio go to Trump.

Politico calls Florida for Trump.

Prediction is that Trump will win is 94%

Grim doesn't even describe it.

Nothing good to report. Can't believe it - it's the third time in 18 months!

Bedtime for me - doubt I'll sleep well!

Thanks for your company tonight.

crap. :( Supreme Court. :( :(

They are talking like it's over.

You've done well bread have a good sleep

i'll keep watching / listening to this misery

Woke up at 3:30. Horrified. Drifted back to sleep having read some twitter reassurances. Had nightmares. Woke up. Nightmare coming true.

Fecking hell.

It's not that I don't understand the reasons that white working poor are angry at the establishment and are looking for a better life, but why on earth would they thing Trump is the man to fight their corner?!
