Its time to put up or shut up - head over to
270towin and create your prediction map and post it here, including why certain states will vote as they do.
My prediction
289-249 Hillary
- Nevada seems to be a Dem pick up which would put her over 270 even if she loses NH, which would put Trump's 270-268 (NH + ME 2nd District).
- I think Hillary will pick up either NC or FL, which would obviously allow her some flexibility to lose either PA or MI and still win. On Tuesday, look for results in PA and NC - if she wins both, and given what we know about NV early voting, it would be pretty much over.
- Trump should win the likes of IA, AZ, UT, GA et al
- Don't be surprised if FL is so close (as in within .5 of 1%) that the results once again have to go to a recount and won't be fully tendered in for days. Obviously that will matter less if Hillary already reaches 270 elsewhere.
- Expect Trump to win the 2nd Districts in NE and ME.
Early Signs Hillary will win
- She holds PA, VA, and wins NH and NC (coupled with early voting in NV)
- Unexpectedly early strong returns in FL and/or NC
If Trump wins this, he will more than likely win 270-268 by taking NV, NH, and the 2nd ME District. The reason this seems less likely than a few days ago is the strong returns Dems are already getting in NV, which cuts off this particular path.
Early signs Trump will win:
- Early, unexpected strong results in PA and NH
- Strong results in NC and FL
- PA is clearly the tipping point state for him, if he does well there, he will have broken her blue firewall and she may lose.
