Less then 25% of votes are in for Michigan Minnesota, and Wisconsin, but Trump is leading them both.  This is currently unexpected by pollsters.

Hillary grabs Illinois and New Mexico soundly and looks to be ahead in Colorado.

Southern states have all backed Trump from Louisiana to Arkansas, and Alabama. 

Midwest was supposed to be mixed, but is so far leaning Republican to the shock of everyone.  Ohio and even Michigan are leaning Trump.  Indiana is Trump. 

New Hampshire is a toss up again, Maine is Clinton, New York is Clinton, Pennsylvania will probably be Clinton.  Virginia is toss up again.

Trump leads 2 points in North Carolina and handidly won South Carolina. 

With 95% of the vote in, Trump leads Florida by 2%.

NBC News is reporting, much to their dismay, that the House will remain in control by Republicans.  236 to 199.  This is still subject to change.

Early numbers from out west show Trump winning in Montana, Wyoming, and Arizona.

Trump still ahead in Florida.

Clinton pulls ahead in Virginia.

Trump pulling ahead in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

So far good news.

This is an astounding turn of events at the moment, quite shocking.  But still, Hillary only needs to win one of the key states to hold victory.  At this moment, we are not counting California, which is a liberal strong hold, or Oregon and Washington. 

Trump is currently doing better then all main stream media pollers thought.  We have a long night ahead of us, and will have a clearer picture tomorrow.  Right now it is 50/50. 

[RainySunshine]

Even with this clear Trump momentum in the midwest, as MasterX said, it is still very much a 50/50 race.  Trump needs to hold his leads to win. Clinton needs to just pull one of those toss up states in her direction to win.

BREAKING NEWS: I am going to declare Trump the winner in Florida.  A key state if he wants to win the election.  99% of the votes are in, and Trump leads Florida by 2%. 

[Death Blossom]

Yeah. It's scary. Anxiety levels through the roof.

But we all know Hillary is going to win California. So in terms of electoral votes, it's pretty much even right now, even if it looks like Trump's got a lead.

As am I. He's had a lead for awhile. I'm positive it'll be to him.

Some more news in this latest batch of data.

Trump is now losing in Iowa and Virginia.  He was winning both, but late votes in Virginia have turned the state blue.  94% of Virginia's votes have been counted and he would lose 13 electoral votes which will go to Clinton. 

Clinton is also leading Minnesota. 

[MasterXtreme]

Trump has to keep his lead with the midwest to even have a chance when the left coast votes for Hillary.  Alaska may actually be a crucial few electoral votes, and right now Alaska is a tossup. 

[RainySunshine]

Arizona needs to stay red and so does Nevada and Utah for Trump to further help offset California, Washington, and Oregon.

Though there is an extremely minute chance Oregon could go red for the first time in decades, but highly unlikely.  I'm talking less then a 1% chance. 

[MasterXtreme]

So far Rainy, your electoral map you made is holding up pretty accurately.

[RainySunshine]

Thank you.  If you were to fill in the map currently as it stands, Donald Trump will have enough electoral votes to beat Hillary Clinton.  But the night is young, and many states have only just started counting their ballots.  The midwest is key right now for either  Clinton or Trump.  Trump also has to win Texas, a huge amount of electoral votes. 

Clinton will get mucho electoral votes once California is in her pocket, and Washington State adds another big amount. 

Idaho just started reporting, and is currently 83% Trump.  That will change, but it will remain a heavily Republican state.

[Death Blossom]

Didn't Trump already won Texas?

[RainySunshine]

Trump is on the path to victory tonight whether he wins Pennsylvania or not.  We can now say in confidence he won Iowa, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
