    According to the news, 20% of the Hispanics voting in Vermont are voting for the first time, which probably means that they aren't legal citizens or that they just became legal citizens.

    USUALLY, once about 30% of the vote is in, the percentages don't change much. So far, Clinton is leading in only one state but the percentages in are minuscule.

    Yeah, they're stressing on CNN that even though the states are colored Red that it's just that Trump is leading but not yet won.

    It's early but so far, it's looking good even on exit polling. CBS has Trump ahead in nearly every state on exit polling. Vermont seems to be the only one she's ahead in so far. Of course, in the past I have often gotten excited in the beginning only to be disappointed at the end. If they'd shut up, CBS News would be worth watching but even as they are showing the exit poll numbers on the bottom of the screen, they have done nothing but talk down Trump. Rather than talking about how well Trump is doing in actual number and on exit polling, they have been desperately seeking demographics in which Hillary is ahead and highlighting them.

    That's what I'm doing. I have a local radio show on in the background. They're not so rabidly liberal. There are two people, a Republican and a Democrat, but the Democrat is more favorable to Trump than the Republican is.

    I'm looking at the numbers of voters thus far and Trump is leading by double and even triple that of Hillary.
    The problem is that even if those numbers keep going throughout, the electoral college numbers take precedence.

    Oh well, we'll see how the numbers hold out. Some of the republicans still haven't gotten off of work yet which left a lot of time for the democrats to vote early.

    When the numbers flip dramatically at the end, it probably means that they've cheated.

    There are two electors in the State of Washington who have said that they will pay the fine rather than cast their vote for Clinton.

    Like 60% in in Florida and suddenly Clinton takes the lead by nearly 2%?

    There are only a few states that impose a fine from what I understand.
