November 8, 2016. A campaign that spanned the better part of two years all came down to Tuesday evening, with the 45th occupant of the Oval Office to be determined. Will Hillary Clinton eke this one out? Will Donald Trump pull off an upset? Soon enough, we will know who will be president come January. We’ve had months to digest what each candidate brings to the table, their strengths and flaws, in what has become a political bloodbath. You’ve had months to profess your not-actually-profound views on Facebook in hopes of influencing people who blocked you weeks ago. Now it’s time to get it done. Go exercise your civic duty. If you’re on the west coast and wondering where do I vote , there’s still time. Go make it happen. Then sit back and watch the results roll in as this insane roller coaster takes its final turn toward the finish line. Either way, history will be made in a presidential election like no other … and either way, the deluge of absurd ads will be over at least. Earlier this morning in Chappaqua, N.Y., Hillary Clinton became the first woman to cast a presidential vote for herself as a major party candidate. She’s all but certain to win the Empire State’s 29 Electoral Votes against Donald J. Trump, who also voted for himself today in Manhattan. While N.Y. State is not up for grabs, plenty of other states are, and national polls show a very tight race, with a modest Clinton advantage. Will it be enough to carry her over the top? Slightly more likely than not … but if we’ve learned anything this year, it’s not to count Trump and his galvanized movement of supporters out. Seriously. Who would’ve guessed he’d make it this far – or that he’d rally from one campaign calamity after another to make this close? UPDATE, 3:45 p.m. : The final projection of Five Thirty Eight, a leading political poll aggregator, suggests the following win probabilities: As you can see, the site gives Clinton a 71.4% chance of prevailing tonight, based on state-by-state probabilities as indicated by color. Other forecasters such as the N.Y. Times put Hillary’s odds closer to 85% … while the Huffington Post gives her a ludicrous 98% chance. Our opinion is that 538’s percentages are more in line with Trump’s chances tonight. While he trails in the polls, he has reason for hope: 1. Polls are sometimes wrong. Usually, they’re pretty accurate, but if Clinton leads by only 2-4 points, that’s within the margin of error. 2. A relatively large number of voters still remain undecided. A 46-42% Clinton lead is more uncertain than a 51-47% lead, for example. 3. The bulk of Clinton’s lead may come from states she has no chance of losing (California, Illinois, N.Y.) and won’t help in the Electoral College. They’ll help, of course; 270 is the number needed to win, and those three count for a lot. But many other battlegrounds are perilously close. Anyway, just a few hours until the first precincts close! We’ll be updating this post with the numbers as they become available. For now, and throughout the day/night, sound off on this historic event! Tell us in the comments: Who will prevail, and who are you voting for ? Is the system rigged? Will she (or he) be an effective president? And the Winner is?
