Well, it's almost all over but the shouting.

3 1/2 hours or so left until most Eastern US time zone polls close, and the counting will begin. The news tends not to predict in the meantime, until official poll results start coming in, unless the states are blowouts.

Even the rigging is rigged! :irate:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

One side or the other always says it's rigged in some way. When Bush was running, the allegation from democrats was that the Bush family controlled the Diebold voting machines ,and were rigging them. That's nothing new.

I'm calling it 272 for Hillary. I can't wait past midnight for this shit so I played with the CNN map to get this. Virginia and Michigan might be reversed which messes things up.
