Per MSNBC, exit polls have 50% of voters with college degree, 3 points higher than 2012. That's close enough not to draw too many conclusions from it, but if it's accurate, not good for Trump.
Things can always change, but high turnout doesn't bode well for republicans in general
Everyone else is afraid of the GestappoI see you're the only one posting in this thread. Hmmmmm . . . .
Voter turnout will be up 2.31% over 2012--2.79% east of the Mississippi.

Can you break it down by the Mason-Dixon line?
I think higher turnout in the sun belt is great for Clinton. Higher turnout in the rust belt is great for Trump.
In all honesty, once the die has been cast, I'm no longer in partisan hack mode, and I just wanted to make sure there was one thread for people who wanted to talk results rather than still try to change each other's votes.
CNN exit polls show these turnouts
whites -2% (70%)
blacks -1% (12%)
latinos +1% (11%)
asian +1% (I forget)
With a possibly unprecedented turnout, I don't see that as favoring Democrats. 70% of a lot more white bolue collar workers voting for Trump trumps the smaller percentages. This election may hinge on disaffected independent and conservative white women.
Of course, there's also the possibility that those turnouts don't reflect swing states properly.

This warrants a 30-second ban..Stop apologizing. It's unbecoming of a dictator.
I absolutely can't do CNN during an election, anymore. Never again. All flashing lights and fancy graphics and background music. It's an election, not a damn video game.
MSNBC the rest of the way for me, with the random check-in at Fox.

The Liberal Princess claims to be the only voter in D.C. to have written in Gabby Giffords for POTUS.
How she knows this I don't know.
Edited for 6 20-oz Sam Adams and 4 bourbons since 1530.

Clinton's going to win.
Georgia "Too close"
Virginia "Too early"
Too early is a good phrase for the favorite, too close is good for the underdog. Both good phrases for Clinton in both cases.

Chris Matthews just put Rudy on blast: "Are you proud of how you behaved in this election? I've known you for a while, never thought there was anything wrong with you until this election. Are you proud of yourself?"
Rudy laughed it off, but it was definitely a burn.

Really, every time I get sick of Wolf and flip to MSNBC they are interviewing campaign reps. First it was Conway, second was Giuliani, and third was some Clinton backer I didn't recognize. I don't give a dang what the campaigns spin tonight. I'm stuck with Wolf.
Although at the moment I'm actually rewatching "The Martian" for the eleventieth time.
You guys are my election coverage until I get home, and so far you sound better than Blitzer and Mathews. Just don't call it before I get a drink...
I finally watched it a few nights ago. I was impressed. Still haven't read the novel.
Just me.
She's in D.C., and was on with Cavuto, I believe, around 1600.
She's been on Media Buzz each of the last 3 or 4 weeks.
