I'm worried there is gonna be some funny business going on and it might be close or there might be problems at the polls (caused by our fellow Americans, the ones who are alt-right.)

but there is over half a million absentee ballots that can't be counted until the polls close. And that assumes the inperson voting is mostly done at 8 (if you're in line at 8 you still get to vote). And once all the ballots have been fed into the machines, the election judges in each precinct will need to balance ballots cast against the number of people who signed in.

Usually this doesn't take so long but they've never dealt with this number of absentees before.

It could take a while to get our returns.

On the bright side, the weather across the state will be excellent and that usually gives the DFL an edge.

Apparently he's done a number of projections in the past, and this one is his final for this year. He predicted
Hillary 322

The Con 216

He's a professional at this but I'm going to disagree. I still believe Hillary will take AZ and maybe a few more. Add AZ Hillary would end with 333.

There are just too many groups of people is so many categories that the Con as disparaged, I believe he will be slaughtered tomorrow night by the voters.

People just need to get out and freaking vote. Way more of us then them.

We need to take the Senate. The House will be a project due to gerrymandering to a ridiculous level. But..if people would take mid term elections seriously we could make serious progress.

We need to not only change our method of voting we need to get fair districting....both with help from neutral international folks.

if FL, OH or NC turns blue its over.

I think we may still have a chance at OH, AZ and even GA.
