This is an interesting experiment. Nate Silver was rather skeptical about this on the 538 podcast yesterday, while his politics editor was more encouraging.
One more thing to obsess about as the day progresses!

Skeptical why? Because it is not going to give an accurate picture or that it will influence voter behavior?

Florida is the most remarkable. If you filter to just "Trump strongholds," Clinton has already crossed 95% of Obama's 2012 turnout there. Trump is still at 89% of Romney's 2012 turnout in his strongholds.
In "Clintons strongholds," Clinton is up to 90% and Trump to 85% of their respective party's turnouts in 2012.
Obama won Florida in 2012 by less than one percentage point. It looks like Clinton is running ahead of Obama at this point in Florida.

Not surprising. There were early reports of massive hispanic turnout.

Slate numbers are voter turnouts for each party and they could vote either way. But that margin of error should be for both parties. Looks like by end of day today, every Floridian will cast a vote in this elections.
Considering that, this is looking to be very promising for the democrats.

Yes, this is one of the main reasons this is not too reliable. Party registration and demographic parameters are not perfect predictors of wwho someone will vote for.southindian wrote:Slate numbers are voter turnouts for each party and they could vote either way.

Fair enough. The numbers in IA and OH are probably worse for Clinton given the number of working class dems who have probably voted for Trump. The numbers in NH and CO are probably better. PA could go either way. FL is probably about right given the high turnout of hispanics.
**Worse and better compared to votecastr predicitons.

I hear that over 6 millions voted early in FL. Does it mean that only less than 2 million voted thus far, today?

Their FL updates seem to be stuck for over an hour now.
In the meanwhile, some good signs from exit polls. 54% of respondents oppose a border wall, 40% support it.

In FL, minorities were 33% of exit poll sample in 2012. Now it is 39%. If this holds through the close of polls at 8 pm Eastern, Clinton is home.

Trump leading in FL with Pan Handle (Republicans) and Broward (Democratic).
NC _ Clinton leading.
Virginia - Trump (rural counties) leading.
