The general population is in a codependent abusive relationship with the elite. They make endless excuses for the abuse and refuse to recognise that there's even a problem.

Stockholm Syndrome, one could argue.

It's rigged. Clinton has enough cash and black male substance to win. Just how it is.

Haha, I know you explained it but it's still funny.

How can the EV be so off if both of them are about tied?

Am I to understand that all the EVoters in a state have to be unanimous?

How does that even work? Majority rules?

Ok, say a state has 10 EV's and 6 vote Trump, automatically the other votes are cancelled and all 10 go to Trump?

I guess I keep merging super delegates with this BS.

Sorry man I hope you have many hidden ammo dumps and/or at least a hidden bunker that will last at least 10 years. If not.. then I hope haven is real.. Good luck...

Can an Electoral College voter decline to vote "YES" for the candidate that wins the state? This guy says that even if Hillary wins Washington state, he won't cast his vote for her.

They can. But in terms of the outcome, it's only happened a handful of times, and has never affected the outcome of the presidency. Granted though, this is an unprecedented campaign season so... honestly I wouldn't write anything off lol.

That said, I still think Trump has a chance of winning irrespective of those factors. He's gone from an 18% chance of victory to 35% in Nate Silver's model in a matter of days, and while the tightening is slowing, he could be at 40% by election day or more. He's closing the gap with her in New Hampshire (from 21% chance to 40% practically overnight, and RCP says it's a borderline tossup, or did last I checked,) and they're for all intents and purposes tied in Florida and Nevada. So if he takes them, and keeps the states he's already leading in, and wins New Hampshire? He wins the whole thing potentially.

I truly do believe it's possibly much closer than the conventional wisdom indicates right now, especially if Trump voters are underpolled.

(Again, not voting for either of them.)

Peace.

JUST WOW!

Check out the CNN Electoral College map, as of 2:00pm Friday 11.4.2016.

This election really can go either way can't it!? Both candidates need to walk a tight-rope between now and Tuesday night. No gaffes, major Wiki-bombs, or blacking out.

That's a great analysis AceWombat04. One thing I noticed when clicking on the link for each state's poll(s), is that some of them are over a week old. So, you're right... the overall map is lagging behind whatever is reality at the moment.

Even when CNN and FOX are showing their big interactive Electoral College and Polling maps on Election Day morning and afternoon, the data they use for most states will still be at least 2 to 3 days old. In this instant-communication world, if Trump or Clinton are hit with bad news of some kind on Monday evening, it could cost that candidate the election. Their numbers appear to be very close.

I concur.

It's going to be a very interesting night from a historical perspective, in addition to all the other real world factors. I wouldn't dare venture a firm prediction right now. It's so crazy.

Peace.
