Breaking down realtime data from here:
http://www.slate.com/votecastr_election_day_turnout_tracker.html
Shows Clinton has been:
winning dramatically in non-white counties.
Winning in wealthy counties.
Winning in middle-income counties.
Winning in younger counties.
Based on this data and other reports I am calling Florida for Clinton by roughly 200,000 votes mainly driven by Hispanic and blacks and young voters.
On edit: some of you are to stressed and acting as if positive data is somehow wrong to report.
Many of us, some still are, waging one hell of a ground game.
Yes, it's not over till it's over but please be calm, we are all on the same side here. A little positive news is not a bad thing.

(8,702 posts)I posting realtime data that is publicly available. It's not a secret. MSNBC is about to review exit polling data within the next hour.
Most if not all on DU, including myself 15 days ago, have already voted for Clinton.

(6,342 posts)Especially since it suggests Trump is underperforming Romney's numbers in Florida, while more credible sources say Trump has already exceeded that number.
It also has Clinton leading in Iowa which is even harder to believe.
I'd put some salt on that site for now.

(14,764 posts)They don't do exit polling. they count noses, and then extrapolate from where they vote/live who they voted for.
They will miss people living in the wrong neighborhoods. They will miss voters crossing over and voting for the other team.
It's good guesswork, but it isn't vote counts. They don't ask voters who they voted for.

It's a pretty big difference.

Most Florida pollsters called Florida for Clinton yesterday based on early voting alone.
