The Unofficial Election 2016 Results Thread PLEASE

CNN now showing Clinton ahead in FL and NC.

And calling a whole bunch of other states, which I lost track of. But Trump wins OK. They could have called that back in August.

Calling Clinton 68, Trump 48.

The older generation of Cubans have been a reliable Republican constituancy ever since JFK cancelled air support for the Bay of Pigs invasion. But they are dying off and Castro is no longer a single issue for many of the younger ones.

Florida has also seen quite an influx of Puerto Ricans, due to the lousy economy there. As US Citizens, they can vote as soon as they move to a state.

ETA: And I totally missed the triple parentheses! Oy Vey!

Quite a few of (((those people))) inadvertently voted for Hitler-lover Pat Buchanan in 2000, due to the infamous Butterfly Ballot.

No surprises and no swing states yet. Waiting for NH, PA, NC and Florida mainly.

Even among the Cubans, note that Trump actually had illegal dealings in Cuba
 
The fact that big urban votes will come in and smash the early rural Trump leads will be good for voter fraud conspiracies.

BBC still showing 68 - 37. ETA Maybe I'm going blind, it now says 68-57

It is 01.15 here and I should go to bed but I made that mistake with Brexit, thinking all was well based on the exit polls then getting woken up at 4am with a newsflash that we'd made the biggest mistake in years. This time, I'm staying up until I know what is likely. :D

Huffpo has Clinton up by 50,000 with 53% counted. All depends where the votes are still to come in from. Looks like she is dominating in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area.
