however this year we have VASTLY more votes, and less volunteers in many states.


Those are "called" by the press, they arent the actual votes. Nor are they the state certifying the winner. I seriously doubt we are going to have the results Tuesday night unless it is a complete blowout. This sort of nonsense is being posted to try to justify shutting down vote counting early. The election is over when the votes are counted, or when the remaining votes cannot statistically result in a different winner.


So be patient folks, and dont fall for this rush the vote count nonsense.

Results aren't certified until around Thanksgiving and into early Dec depending on state. Anything before that is just a projection.

This year will be vastly different from previous years - for obvious reasons.

Trying to make this year fit into the mold of previous elections is a fool's errand.

How the 2016 US election night unfolded

7.05pm (ET)/12.05am (GMT) The first projections are called by the Associated Press, and they follow the form guide. Trump wins Indiana and Kentucky, while Clinton takes Vermont. Vermont has voted solidly Democratic in every presidential election since 1988 and Kentucky similarly Republican since 1996.

10.39pm/3.39am A big win for Trump as he takes Ohio, the first swing state to be declared for the Republicans. He had led in the polls all along but Democrats made much in the final weeks of a possible victory. Voters in the state have correctly picked every single US president since 1964.

10.53pm/3.53am Trump’s path to the White House suddenly becomes a lot clearer, and Clinton’s a lot harder, as he takes the key battleground state of Florida and its 29 electoral votes.


11.14pm/4.14am Trump wins North Carolina, dealing another blow to Clinton, who had looked strong in polling. The battleground state voted Democrat in 2008 and Republican in 2012. The Clinton camp now pins its fading hopes on claiming something from Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.

11.56pm/4.56am Trump’s apparent march towards the White House continues with victory in Utah. Ten minutes later he follows up by taking Iowa.

1.35am/6.35am Trump finally clinches Pennsylvania, another key battleground state, making his lead virtually unassailable. Clinton long viewed the state as a key part of her “firewall” and had held a rally Philadelphia with Barack Obama on Monday night. Trump is now at 264 electoral votes and ahead in counting in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Arizona, any of which makes him president.

2.07am/7.07am Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta refuses to concede defeat, telling supporters in New York: “Let’s get these votes counted and let’s bring this home.” But Trump’s victory is all but certain.

2.30am/7.30am This is the moment: Trump captures Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes, putting him over the 270 threshold.

2.35am/7.35am US TV networks report that Hillary Clinton has rung Donald Trump to concede defeat. “They had maybe a one minute conversation, very gracious very warm, he commended her for being smart and tough and running a hard fought campaign,” Trump’s campaign manger Kellyanne Conway later explained.

Well...………………..if the democrats have their way, perhaps December of this year. Of course, the dems will "find" the ballots they need in swing states to try to cheat. There will most likely be more votes cast in dem counties than there are living people, let alone registered voters.

If one is a dem and understands that cheating is morally incorrect, perhaps one should ask yourself how and why you support a party that routinely endorses and engages in evil behavior. Perhaps you are on the side of evil and should reconsider your position.

Do you think that a virtuous person would endorse rioting, looting, cheating in elections, perversion and preying upon children, and drugs that enslave people?

Not that I would prefer Biden but I believe the election will be over at 9:05pm eastern. The networks will have enough evidence to call enough states for Biden.



If you are currently in jail, under federal indictment or been convicted already make sure to get in contact with the current president ASAP. He will be pardoning soon.
