What time (mountain) will the first polls start reporting?

Thanks to SCD for suggesting to follow Bill Mitchell. That guy is going to lose it later tonight (hopefully). There will be conspiracy theories everywhere.

It's real. That's how Eric Trump looks.

Trump currently on the phone on Fox. He's just parroting stump speech portions. But they asked him what he does if he loses. His answer was he would have to see under what circumstances it would be. Trump claims that if you put in a republican vote into the electronic voting machines, it will register as a democratic vote.

Lol no kidding. The guy retweeted a link to Reuters that had a malformed URL that showed a huge swap between Trump and Clinton in the polls, thinking it was totally real.

Looks like Reuters fixed their site so the URL doesn't show the erroneous data anymore (looked like data from an incomplete poll or something).

Am I crazy for thinking the more he gets blown out, the more likely he is to contest? That getting humiliated is more unbearable than a close loss? I do think it's clear we won't get a true concession tonight.

I believe they're actually allowed to do that, because they're more than 100 feet from the polling place. Provided they aren't actively intimidating voters or trying to block people from entering. But it looks like there's quite a bit of room.

Yeah, that must have been what was going on in that picture with Melania. "When I looked over, I saw that her ballot said Clinton, so I know that something is switching the votes! Also it added a picture of a crying stick-figure stabbing my name."

Can't tell anything from that picture. Could just be people loitering before/after they vote.

Man oh man, I cant imagine what his speech is going to be like if he loses. Its going to be epic.

It'll probably culminate with him stamping his feet and pounding his fists while lying on the stage on his belly. A good genuine tantrum.

He should get Sara Palin up there to do some rah rah Trump speech that literally makes zero sense and republicans will cheer her on.

I didn't notice the lawn chairs, good point.

Still - they could just be sitting there politely saying Vote Trump to voters. Then again, they could be harassing and intimidating them.

There's usually a rule about having to stay a certain distance away from voters as well as a distance away from the polling station. Setting up so people have to walk right through them to use the crosswalk seems pretty intimidating, especially if they engage the voters as they walk by.

Also not sure if the pylons belong to them (i.e. they're blocking access to the parking lot) or not.
