(3,496 posts)Guam is the first territory to finish voting for President. Of course they don't count in the electoral college so you won't hear anything. Polls closed about half an hour ago.

An exit poll of about 600 voters shows Democrats are likely to retain the majority in the Guam Legislature.
Conducted by the University of Guam Public Administration and Legal Studies Club, the exit survey shows Democratic senatorial candidates could end up with a super majority and the Republican minority possibly losing seats.
If this exit poll is accurate, this is an 11-4 Democratic majority, said UOG professor Ron McNinch.

(3,697 posts)which is half of what it usually is, I don't see much for repubs to hang their hats on with the split decision. Hardlt a "knife's edge" if you ask me. Talk about dramatic license.
