BBC coverage has me nervous, because they're doing what they did with Brexit and just kinda assuming Clinton will win.

@Wipqozn Yeah, but those were all dead-cert states

Wipqozn

@fredley They assumed Clinton was going to win Brexit?

so who won

fredley

@badp pls

arda

@badp marie

Arperum

> Virginia: Clinton almost certainly must win this state to win the presidency. So it’ll be interesting to see how the race is characterized when the polls close. “Too early to call” is better than “too close to call” for Clinton, although the networks may be cautious about Virginia even though Clinton is favored and go with the latter designation. Clinton’s strongest areas are in the northern part of the state, around Washington, D.C., and they tend to report their votes last. As a result, Trump may lead by a wide margin early.

> Georgia is still too close to call. Our final forecast gave Trump a roughly 80 percent chance to win the deep-red state. But Georgia has been undergoing a major demographic shift, with a growing share of African-Americans and Hispanics. This change is apparent in the exit polls from today: 39 percent of Georgia’s electorate is nonwhite.

Wipqozn

You know, if non-whites are a serious threat your campaign, then maybe you just shouldn't be allowed to run for president.
