OK, here's my prediction: Trump by very few points.

Those ugly spirit cooking rumors can shift the balance a little.

The election is already over. Clinton has won. The EC vote is 352 for Clinton, 186 for Trump. Even if multiple swing states swing over to Trump before tomorrow (which is not going to happen), Clinton would still win easily. The election is already over. The voting tomorrow is just a sham to give Americans the illusion they actually have some control. They don't. The oligarchists have already chosen Clinton as the next president. It's over people. Which is why I don't participate in the sham.

But if it makes you feel better to think that Trump still has a chance to win, then go ahead and delude yourself to believe it. But I will still come back tomorrow and say I told you so. :lol:

So Trump was right about the election bring rigged eh? When I looked into the electoral college thing, it seemed to me that individual voting was pointless.

When someone can buy that on election day and super delegates in the primaries, it's a tough contest.
Early voting shows Trump slightly ahead.
He can win but it will only be marginal.

Yes, individual voting is totally pointless. Technically if you live in a swing state, your vote could be relevant, but not really. Because contrary to popular believe, Americans will not elect the president today. They will elect Electors. The real presidential election will take place on December 19th, when The Electors (aka The Oligarchy) elect the president. Technically even though Clinton will win this faux election tomorrow, The Oligarchy could decide to thumb their noses at the voters, and elect Trump instead on December 19. Will they do that? Probably not, because they want to give the illusion that people's votes count. Even though their votes count for nothing. The Oligarchy has already decided that Clinton will be the next president. They just threw Trump in there for entertainment value, to distract people's attention from the fact that they have no say in anything.

It's all kind of funny really. How almost everybody has been brainwashed by all this "Get out and vote. Your vote counts" BS.

If you detest the oligarchies but bend to their will then you might as well live life on your knees. People have the freedom to vote, whether or not it affects the outcome. They might as well at least use it.

The Popular vote in each state determines the Electoral Vote.

It's not totally "pointless."

There have been 3-4 instances when a person "won" with the popular vote, but "lost" with the Electoral vote.

I personally think Trump will win this election. He is leading in many of the major swing states that Obama won in 2012 and is in addition more likely than not to win New Hampshire and Florida. If that happens the electoral votes would be tied meaning the election goes to Congress. In Congress Trump will be chosen as the Republicans have a clear majority there.

When did the election end? I thought that wouldn't happen until 7:00 PM this evening.

They tried this tactic with the referendum in the UK recently. Trying to make voters give up hope and feel demoralized.

30 Republicans in the House oppose him. Even if the electoral vote is a tie Donald Trump will still have around 215 house votes to beat the Democrat's 188.

I suspect this will be complicated and end up in either the courts or congress.

If this prediction is exactly correct, I will donate £50 (slightly more than $60) to the charity of your choice; if no charity is nominated within 48 hours, or the charity nominated strikes me as actively evil, I will donate to a cause supported by the Clinton Foundation of my choice.

If this prediction is not exactly correct, but Clinton still wins Arizona, Ohio, and Florida, then I will donate £20 ($24) to the charity of your choice (with the same caveats).

If neither of the above are fulfilled but Clinton wins Arizona without Iowa, I will donate £5 ($6) to Give Directly, the only charity would could do anything with such a paltry sum.

I will stick to these pledges regardless of whether you make a reciprocal one. I encourage you to do so if you are as confident as you say.
