I predict the election will be called for Hillary around 8 PM CST.

She will win all the battleground states in the Northeast, and the fat lady will begin warming up. She'll then take Michigan, New Mexico, and maybe Arizona. At that time the chubby one will be in full opera mode.

1. When? Tomorrow? or next week?

4. This evening.

[MohRokTah]

2. Nope.

They won't call it until after California polls close.

They will call it at 10 PM CST.

[MoonRiver]

3. Well, at some point, I predict early on, arithmetic will make it clear who won.

Maybe the media won't officially announce it, but facts are facts.

5. No, man! I won't even have had time to drink!

West Coast Livin' is SO hard!

[Cracklin Charlie]

6. Today?

Damn, I haven't even bought my presidential debate and election night six pack.

Crap! Now I have to wait four more years for a beer.

Oh, well.

7. From your post to

god's ears!

8. I was thinking that after the first news org

Runs it's decision 2016 first vote alert the next will be breaking news on President elect Clinton, so around 8:10 EST?

9. I was thinking the very same thing earlier today! I'd found an interactive map...

... of the Electoral College to see if it was mathematically possible (and likely) that it could be called by 8PM Eastern time.

I clicked around on a few states, and decided that the best we could hope for is that it would be called by 8PM Central.

Even a worst-case scenario had Hillary winning the election by 8PM Mountain time.

12. Great minds!

10. All of this early celebrating is getting me nervous.

If too many people just assume Hillary is going to win, then where in trouble. There's a lot of work involved in getting all of her supporters of the polls, but I do agree that the prospect of victory makes it easier to do the work!

11. 8:01 PM EST

At that moment, Florida and Pennsylvania will be called. Ohio and Virginia will have already been called. All four will go to Clinton, by at least 5 points. She will not have yet actually gotten to 270, but barring miracles in NY, Illinois and California, it will in effect all be over.

13. I agree that Clinton will win Arizona, but I don't think it will be by wide enough of a margin that

they can call it as soon as the polls close. It may take a couple of hours.
