    New Hampshire is still in play. Trump is ahead but it's close, less than one percentage point.

    @Ken Anderson
    Given the rather decisive-looking results as of the moment, what means, schemes, philandering, palm-greasing, out-and-out theft of viable voting results, do you know of, which might sway the results away from the obvious direction?

    It's happened before. Suddenly, at the last moment, the very last precincts to send in their vote totals turn out to be a hundred percent for Hillary Clinton, or they find boxes of absentee ballots that had been overlooked. That's why Florida was so close in 2000. Bush had won, then they found a bunch of uncounted ballots for Al Gore at the last minutes. Bush ended up winning but by a court decision. I also worry about votes that are computer generated, as programs can be set to tally extra votes as needed. I'm not saying it's happening but it's feasible.

    I think people are nuts! This guy I've been with, RightSide, showed me all these red States that Trump won, and also that he now had 254 electoral votes, now he's going back saying that this State is with Clinton, blah, blah blah. How is it that someone can tell me that Trump has taken all these Electoral votes and is winning, can start over and start telling me he didn't win certain States afterall??

    Trump is ahead by 9 votes in Pennsylvania right now. Not nine percentage points -- nine votes. Michigan is getting close though: 47.8 for Trump, 47.1 for Clinton.

    Now Trump is only ahead by 15 votes in New Hampshire, but he's a tenth of percent ahead in Pennsylvania.

    I don't understand. Because that's the percentages he had at the time that I wrote that. Right now, Trump is only ahead by 15 votes in New Hampshire.

    I do not understand either. I don't know what to watch anymore. I guess I'll sign off and watch a movie or something. Fox had 254 for Trump and hillary at 209. I could figure the percent of the 538 but why bother. Have a good night ken.

    There are differences because different networks are quicker at receiving or reporting the results, and some networks call states earlier than others. That just means they think that the person is going to win that state. Actual votes can change these.

    Well there ought to be a law against it, but then people like hillary would just have one more to break:(

    Ok, yes, that makes sense Ken. I kind of knew that it could change, it's really horrible. Cruel is what it is:( I can't imagine what it must be like for those that have really, done all the work like Trump.
