[QUOTE]After one of the craziest weeks we can remember in the 2016 race -- the Access Hollywood audio of Trump, WikiLeaks, the nasty debate in St. Louis, the accusers against Bill Clinton, the accusers against Donald Trump, and plenty of new polls -- here's where the NBC battleground map stands. Hillary Clinton has expanded her lead and now has 287 electoral votes in her column, which is more than the 270 needed to win the White House. Trump has 157 electoral votes in his column, which is down more than 30 for him from last week. And we have 94 electoral votes in Tossup. Last week, our map was Clinton 268, Trump 190, and 80 in Tossup. Likely Dem: CA, CT, DC, DE, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, OR, RI, VT, WA (182 electoral votes) Lean Dem: CO, ME (3 EVs), MI, MN, NH, NM, NC, PA, VA, WI (105) Tossup: AZ, GA, FL, IA, ME (1EV), NE (1 EV), NV, OH, UT (94) Lean GOP: AK, IN, KS, MO, MT, ND, SC, SD, TX (85) Likely GOP: AL, AR, ID, KY, LA, MS, NE (4 EVs), OK, TN, WV, WY (72) [/QUOTE] Source: [URL="http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/hillary-clinton-extends-her-battleground-map-lead-n666301"]http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/hillary-clinton-extends-her-battleground-map-lead-n666301[/URL]
you know shit is crazy when arizona, georgia and utah are tossups
[URL="http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/?ex_cid=rrpromo"]Just a comparison.[/URL] Seems to be... alright. I do wonder how early voting is going to affect the overall results - I assume that it's likely Clinton will pick up the majority of those votes as Trump's controversies are so recent.

I can only trust 538 on such claims, but NBC isn't far off to what 538 says. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/idhJfOZ.png[/IMG]

Election night is going to be really weird, this election might be called very early on in the night
lol Clinton's gonna win
[QUOTE=CrumbleShake;51203044]lol Clinton's gonna win[/QUOTE] I'm sorry sir but this is the news section I believe you're in the wrong place
[QUOTE=smurfy;51202918]Election night is going to be really weird, this election might be called very early on in the night[/QUOTE] Election Day will be very interesting once exit polls are released, even more so when first counted votes come out.
[QUOTE=CrumbleShake;51203044]lol Clinton's gonna win[/QUOTE] Is it too late to toxx?
[QUOTE=Raidyr;51203594]Is it too late to toxx?[/QUOTE] It's never too late.
I ain't doing toxx, it only brings bad luck when I bet.
I think the Democrats should consider the possibility of Texas becoming a toss-up. Clinton is gaining ground in that state (SurveyUSA: Clinton 43% Trump 47%).
I feel like the moment I toxx Clinton will be shown raping and killing a small child on live telivision and trump will personally solve the middle east crisis
[QUOTE=Raidyr;51203594]Is it too late to toxx?[/QUOTE] It'd be more interesting to toxx about specific states, electoral votes and margins rather than the outcome of the election at this point, imho.
[QUOTE=Chaitin;51203677]I think the Democrats should consider the possibility of Texas becoming a toss-up.

[QUOTE=Code3Response;51204017]The metropolitan areas are blue, but the vast majority of rural communities bleed red[/QUOTE] Sure, but the metro areas are huge population centers obviously. It doesn't matter what percentage of land votes blue, it's the percent of people.
[QUOTE=TheBloodyNine;51203751]I feel like the moment I toxx Clinton will be shown raping and killing a small child on live telivision and trump will personally solve the middle east crisis[/QUOTE] Honestly I think if the fabled kill list leaked she would still win narrowly :v:
