The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office is investigating a report that a man wearing a badge labeled “poll police” attempted to interfere outside a polling place near 39th and Haverford in West Philly.
A police report was filed in the 16th District; a spokesperson from the DA’s Office confirmed that officials “are aware” of the incident and “we are investigating.”
Billy Penn learned the confrontation happened after a question about a voter’s eligibility that was eventually resolved. After the ordeal, a group arrived in a pickup truck and the man with the badge approached the poll watcher, asking whether the poll watcher was making trouble. He took off his jacket and showed the badge.Te poll watcher apparently thought the man may have been a Trump supporter.

"Poll Police"? What, did he lose his Female Body Inspector badge on Halloween?

What's the best site for live results? So far the Washington post one is the best I've found.

I actually don't really know - you might be right though. I remember the last Alberta election was a bit tougher for me to vote because I had moved in the past year or so. Either way, Canada has nice built in mechanisms that make it quite easy to vote compared to the stories I've heard in the states.

Clinton over performing in a couple early Kentucky counties, but more important is that polling is beginning to suggest Trump will take NH.
@benchmarkpol
In Kentucky, DDHQ with a populated county: Fayette. 55k votes. We had Clinton +1, at 50% in Clinton +15 there.

The Guardian's site is pretty good as well, less detail than the NYT one.

From the 538 Blog. Florida is a massive swing state (even more than I initially thought)
Quote:
NATE SILVER 6:53 PM
How important is Florida? (Polls in the eastern part of the state close in a few minutes.) If Clinton wins it, her probability of winning the Electoral College would shoot up to 93 percent from 71 percent, according to our election night model. And if Trump were to win it, his chances would increase to 59 percent from 29 percent.

Which are those? I assume you're not referring to the early results where he's leading 32 votes to 25.

I have no idea what the numbers and states and all that means, so can I just find a slider that shows the real time probability that the world is about to end?

Vigo county has Trump leading right now with 44% of the polls reporting. Apparently that county has only been wrong twice in 100 years and has picked the winner in the last 11 elections or something.

I don't remember which two as I'm flying through a ton of stuff. 2 polls suggested Trump might be +3 or so in NH. Just polling of course.
Right now exit polling has Georgia only +1 or so for Trump. This is potentially starting to unravel for the GOP
