And what makes you think they'll all vote for Hillary? Aren't the Aryan Brotherhood well-represented in American prisons, or is that just in TV cop shows?

Well maybe . Most felons I met at work were such hardasses they would never bother registering to vote or bother showing up if it was given.

The assumption for Virginia is most felons are black and of course they (those super predators) vote democrat . But Clinton put a great many fathers and grandfathers in jail in the 90-00s. Some really hate the Clinton family but that's a discussion for another day.

I hope there is some excitement on election night, but I do think Hillary will be the first android to be president.

I'd enjoy it if it were a several day event to get a result.

A buddy lives in Florida now, he got a invite to survey for people who are likely voters he got the results tonight.

Hillary is ahead by three points, probably margin of error.
48 v 45%
More republicans by 10 out of 2000+ people
Most results came from Tampa, Orlando and Miami but had people people from all over the state.
Trump has 85% party support Hillary 88%
Likely democrats 8% were voting trump
9% republicans were voting Hillary
Independents favoring Hillary by 4 %
But it was weighted in those areas the Hillary campaigns like to survey but it's also a large population centers

I'm surprised so many democrats are willing to support trump, I'm also shocked more republicans are supporting Hillary

But again the main results favoring Clinton are those three cities the rest of the state favored trump and older voters are going trump too .

Dunno

I think the Trump vote will be higher than anticipated, due to the "shame factor", but I don't think he's going to win. I could be wrong, though.
Rasmussen Reports’ final White House Watch survey shows Democrat Hillary Clinton with a two-point lead over Republican Donald Trump with less than 24 hours to go until Election Day. Among early voters, Clinton has a double-digit lead. Rasmussen got it wrong then, and hopefully they get it wrong now! IBD............IBD........IBD........let's see who is worthy of claiming the polling title!

He has a chance. Btw that fl survey was from a group I've never heard of so it could be a disinformation campaign to dissuade voters of a certain non Hillary mindset. Apparently the voter rolls in fl are not protected from data mining. So just about anybody could gather voter email addresses.
Its suspicions because most polls and pundits are showing trump taking fl

WOW! Nobody voted for Clinton in our poll. Wonder if our sampling was rigged ;)

I voted this morning on the way home, took ten minutes if that, not too bad. I think turn out will be good this year, people at running the election at this precinct said it has been steady all day.

Hope all the voting machine trouble being reported on the national news are fixed before polls close.

Our poll only had 7 votes, IIRC. Hardly a scientific sample, though if Trump loses, he will probably cite as proof that he really won.

Out machine is rigged to alter Clinton votes to other candidates, then fragment them so it looks like fewer people voted. :D

If we have a "Who Won the Election Poll" I do think we would be mentioned in a speech tonight, "DCinB poll shows I won!". Al Gore and Joe Lieberman were willing to put the country through hell to have a court decide the next president. I would hate to see how dirty the fight would become between Clinton and Trump if the results are anything but decisive. It would be in litigation for the next four years!

Imagine if neither of them gets 270 Electoral College votes. Then Congress would have to battle it out.

Edit: Or should that be 272 EC votes?

just go to the local democrats party office and they will get you a ballot. Obama said it's ok so don't worry. Sort of joking but it's all true.

Um, I talk with a few people voting today who are pissed about healthcare cost increasing, my own premium went up over $100, even this month it's doubled even with the subsidy. If states start going pear shaped for Clinton I'd bet Obamacare is a factor.

I thought I was the only one in my area being sucker punched by the rate increases, it's hitting business and individuals right now.

Holy crap! Forecasting 140 million voters total. Turn out in 2008 was 131 million, 2012 129 million.

The Pundits that said this would be a low turnout election look wrong
