Alrightie, here's my prediction for the results tomorrow. I think all the states are pretty much lock except for Florida and North Carolina. I'd like to see her swing Ohio, but I don't think there's enough time. I give Florida and North Carolina to Clinton because the momentum is in her favor: {"name":"610609","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/6\/8\/685b4286470f995fb2d2e5b71727be49.png","w":774,"h":636,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/6\/8\/685b4286470f995fb2d2e5b71727be49"} Note that last time I did this, I only got one state wrong! -- |

Could you post an uncoloured map so we could make this a guessing contest? The one who comes closest wins bragging rights. And maybe a doughnut. By reading this sig, I, the reader, agree to render my soul to Bob Keane. I, the reader, understand this is a legally binding contract and freely render my soul. |

She could have gotten West Virginia if she didn't have the screw up of flat out saying she was going to put the coal miners out of work facepalm.

What do the 323 and 215 figures refer to? edit: And does the winner need 270 of them to win?

LennyLen said: What do the 323 and 215 figures refer to? They refer to electoral votes. Our votes are collectively pooled into districts. Whoever wins the district gets an electoral vote. Some states are winner-takes-all, too, which means all electoral votes from a state go to the winner of the state. Quote: edit: And does the winner need 270 of them to win? You need 270 or more electoral votes to win the election. Mark Oates said: Here ya go! Make your own map: Algorithm:

That's why I added the while. As you had it, I only have one chance and it is O ( N ) Also, all politicians are insane, we need to do Candidates.OrderBy(x => x.Sanity).FirstOrDefault(); Agui GUI API -> https://github.com/jmasterx/Agui |

They all return Double.NaN so the winning candidate is determined by an implementation detail Agui GUI API -> https://github.com/jmasterx/Agui |

On January 21, his first complete day in office Trump will be 70 years, 7 months, and 7 days old. It will also still be year 5777 on the Hebrew calendar. Call it what you'd like, but I feel the outcome has been decided for a long time. |

I think Hillary will win the election. The second woman to ever be the President in American history. First woman to be elected by the people as President. [APPEND]

I am old enough to be President now. I voted Libertarian, so my team lost. Seems like Trump will win. National embarrassment. |

I sadly was unable to vote. Father-in-law got to vote, but family members called him and needed him to help them so by the time he got home I had to cook dinner. No one was here to sit with my son so I could go vote. Wife refuses to vote because she doesn't stay up on politics.
