Daily Kos Elections final presidential forecast: Clinton 323 electoral votes, Trump 215Love the graphics on dKos, especially the cartogram option. I think we are in for a few surprises tomorrow night due to turnout of minorities and women in particular, and specioal interest concerns on the ballot, legalizing weed and medical marijuana and minimum wage. In Az there is a synergy of these in play, so Az can turn blue. Texas has a powerful Latino voting block and if they go to the polls in decent numbers, trump loses Texas. In Ohio a combination of ground game and minority turnout will tip the scale blue.
With Ohio and Arizona, the result is 352-186. If Texas surprises the pollsters, the result shift to 390-148.

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. .... MORE ..

Final Crystal Ball: Clinton Wins with 322 Electoral Votes; Tied Senate Gives Democrats Control
November 7, 2016
The final projection from Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball is a Clinton victory with 322 electoral votes vs. 216 for Donald Trump. This is an increase of 29 over their prior forecast - as Florida moved to lean Clinton from toss-up. At the same time, however, Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Hampshire were moved to the lean category from likely. As a result, Clinton's favored total (safe + likely) has dropped below 270. Texas was returned to safe Republican.
