There's a real chance the Senate will be split 50-50, in which case the Vice President has the power to cast tie-breaking votes ([URL="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/upshot/senate-election-forecast.html#other-forecasts"]source[/URL]) - [B]House of Representatives:[/B] It's a bygone conclusion that the Republicans will maintain overall control, although fewer forecasts exist for the House ([URL="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/house/2016_elections_house_map.html"]source[/URL]) [U][B]BALLOT MEASURES[/B][/U] [URL="https://ballotpedia.org/2016_ballot_measures"]Ballot measures[/URL] are a great bonus on any US election night! Rules differ by state, but in some states, citizens can get a binding referendum on the ballot if they get enough signatures demanding it. Here's some of the cool ones this year: - [B]Legalize marijuana:[/B] 5 states are voting on recreational use, including the giant of California. 3 states are voting on medical use. Montana's voting on easing medical restrictions. - [B]Minimum wage:[/B] 4 states are voting on whether to raise it. South Dakota is voting on whether to veto a law that would lower it for minors. - [B]Healthcare:[/B] 5 states have relevant things. California is voting on a drug price regulation that faces the most expensive opposition campaign of any ballot measure ever. Colorado is voting on creating a single-payer system. - [B]Gun control:[/B] Maine and Nevada are voting on expanded background checks; California is voting on that and a ban on high-capacity magazines. Washington is voting on allowing court 'risk protection orders' to remove an individual's right to bear arms. - [B]Condoms in porn:[/B] California is voting on whether to require porn actors to wear condoms. - [B]Ranked-choice voting:[/B] Maine is voting on whether to abandon first-past-the-post and switch to ranked-choice voting (AKA 'instant-runoff' or the 'alternative vote') for elections to the US Congress and all state offices.

And everyone agrees that if she wins just a couple of battleground states, it's over. So: - [B]Florida:[/B] If Clinton takes it, she immediately wins the election - disregard the rest of this list - [B]North Carolina:[/B] Pretty much essential for Trump, though he could theoretically win without it if he got crazy lucky - [B]Pennsylvania/New Hampshire:[/B] If Trump wins here, he's beating his polls and may be on course for a victory - [B]Georgia/Ohio:[/B] If Clinton wins here, she's beating her polls and may be on course for a landslide [U][B]WHEN WILL WE KNOW THE RESULT?[/B][/U] The last two elections were called at around 11pm EST. There's obviously no way of knowing for sure, but we should have a pretty clear idea of who's won this thing by then. There will be a lot of misinformation flying around throughout the night! Wait for a good source, check reputable news outlets, and remain calm.
