Bwahahahaaaaaaaah

As soon as Cal, Wash, Ore, and Hawaii closes

I could be wrong. Don't know about Hawaii or Alaska.

mail-in ballots are accepted until the Friday after election day, as long as they're postmarked by 8PM on election day. Also, the 58 counties have until 30 days after the election to get their final, certified results to the Secretary of State (remember that during the primaries the total for Sanders kept creeping up as more and more mail-in and provisional votes were tallied).

But I expect there will be enough ballots counted to make the call by 9PDT on election day - and that it will take an act of a non-benevolent god to get the state into the Trump column.

believes she will be the clear winner before we get to the west coast time zone.

Of course, poor Hawaii. They'd still be voting.

polls close at 8PM but it usually takes us a couple of hours to clear the paper work and put all of the equipment away....I suspect the election will be called shortly after I get home.

There is a scenario where Hillary wins the electoral votes with just the Eastern & Central states. If so, it will be over before California or Colorado finish voting.

If she wins Texas.

We got ours yesterday. So it won't take long to get the count completed.

8pm here in CA. With apologies to Hawaii and Alaska. When California, Washington, and Oregon close, that'll be it. And I suspect when California closes, that in and of itself will be it - simply because of the size of the California population and its motherlode of electoral votes.

11PM EST when WA, OR and CA put her over the top.

Election new blackout there, but I remember how tense I felt. But I think it spared me a lot of nervous pacing and it was exciting to see so many people coming out to vote. By the time I got home, there was good news.

This one will be obvious ten minutes after the last west coast polls close and called within an hour. We won't know how big the landslide is until much later when the larger battleground states can be called.

I would guess we'll know by 8 Pacific.

If Hillary is the projected winner in either Florida or Ohio, and not lost anything unexpected, she's going to win.
If she's also leading in Georgia, it will be an epic landslide.
If Ohio and Florida are projected for Trump, it will be a long evening.

Their reaction in 2012 was PRICELESS!

It was one of the best things I have ever seen
on television.

I just took ElectoralVote.com's tipping point chart and added poll closing times to each state. Hillary will top 270 between 8pm CST & 9pm CST depending on reporting.

Until 270 votes are definitively tallied in Clinton's column, they'll string Trump along until it no longer pulls in ratings.

And the press will immediately inflate allegations of voter irregularities that favor Clinton, using this to justify Trump's inevitable lawsuits to prolong the electoral agony.

This will continue for days, with Trump naturally complaining that the vote was rigged. It will die down after a month or so but will come back in full force in the run-up to inauguration day, at which time he'll probably file another lawsuit.


Republicans will publicly decry these tactics, but they'll be happy to foster the impression that Clinton stole the election, using it as leverage to deny that she has "a mandate" no matter how thoroughly she trounces Trump.

... currently projected blue states per Nate Silver, including Ohio and Iowa, then she'll be over 270 electoral votes before any states farther west are counted.
