Our final map has Clinton winning with 352 electoral votes.

Source: LA Timers - David Lauter and Mark Z. Barabak

We've updated our electoral map for the final time in this topsy-turvy campaign year.

For this version, our goal was no toss-ups. We're giving you our best estimates, based on public polling, state vote histories and the reporting done by our campaign staff, on which way we think each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia will fall this year.

The previous version of the map had five toss-up states. In the end, we're predicting that three of them -- North Carolina, Ohio and Arizona -- will go for Hillary Clinton.

Iowa will go to Donald Trump, we expect. ......

I think the election has been anything but topsy-turvy.
We have a politically inexperienced, misogynist, hate-mongering, criminal-bound tv celebrity, running against one of the most qualified people to ever run for President of the U.S.
The polls have ALWAYS had Clinton on top.
And it has always been evident that Clinton was going to be our next President—except near the end, when the media wanted to pretend it was a close race.

The disappointment in Iowa is that we do not get rid of Grassley.

American politics for 25 years, but I am not some blowhard pundit on TV, so my opinion is crap in most people's eyes" opinion:

Worst Case: Clinton - 323. Shitgibbon - 215. Clinton picks up NC, loses OH and IA.

My Opinion: Clinton - 358. Shitgibbon - 180. Clinton carries the three states mentioned above, also flips Arizona.

Best Case: Clinton - 401. Shitgibbon - 137. Clinton carries the four states mentioned above as well as Indiana, Missouri and Georgia. The Independent in Utah sucks enough votes from the Shitgibbon that Clinton carries that state by a razor thin margin.

Engagement means a lot in relation to turnout, and trump did a lot of lifting on that front. Beware who you piss off in politics because pissed off people vote.

Those poor people are pummelled with rush, vannity, gospel bull shit and nothing else. RARELY can you get NPR. NEVER can you find any progressive or neutral radio talk. It's ALL right wing and gospel propaganda. It's no wonder the middle of the country is red. Only in a few larger cities can you even pick up NPR.

We'll never make progress until they can hear two sides to the story...the truth and their hate/fear message.

according to the Republicans. And I can't say shit because I am a hick hayseed from the mountains of New York originally. But NY is NY no matter the location in the state.
