Razor thin...

In 2012, the Real Clear Politics state averages were right in 49 out of 50 states.

Above is how their map looked this morning.

How close is it? If Real Clear Politics is right, Trump just needs to flip one tiny state…

That probably explains Trump’s lawsuit in Nevada. I hope they are just covering all bases and not reliant on needing Nevada to win this election.

Go look at the polls that RCP used to declare that one small state a winner for Hillary. That would be NH and they used, as did Nate Silver, a 11 point Clinton over Trump poll to push this state into the Clinton column. That single poll kept Trump from being the RCP predicted winner.

Fraud. Dem payoff to RCP. Never, ever, ever, ever to be trusted again by Freepers.

Never.

Not good for the right. The left always wins when the vote is close. They can cheat when it's close. If it's not close, they can't cheat. I hate to be Eyor today. I call them as I see them.

Who cares where the pollsters put NH, if Trump wins the vote, he wins the State.

I am getting a sense of a near-landslide here, the signs are all positive and Trump may even win a few unexpected states that were not said to be in play.

Clinton never had any room to grow, she came into this election with about 40% support and never expanded on it. Trump has probably gotten three quarters of the undecided voters.

Problems like McMuffin in Utah have faded. Black voting is down due to Clinton discouragement. The smaller parties have not grown their support at all. I don’t see how Trump can lose this.

I see several possibilities. The polls here are essentially tied but Republicans turned in 20,000 more early votes as of this morning.

New Hampshire is very close.

I saw reports Michigan may be trending Trump.

And, of course, RCP averages where almost all polls show Trump gaining momentum the last few days.

I'm hoping that fraud is already baked into the numbers (Dem oversampling).

Guess we'll find out when running totals start coming in after the polls close. If they're tied or very close, watch for calls to keep polls open so they can "find" more votes

I’m so cynical of voting process. I think DEM could still win in wide margins votes because their voter fraud effort is so MASSIVE. Its everywhere! So fraud votes are running in the millions. Rigged machine, corrupt voting officials, dead/illegal voting, voting officials voting for you via absentee ballot

The number of blacks voting may be down but the number of blacks voting FOR Trump are up.

I don’t think Nevada is going to turn out to be a must-win state for Trump.

I think he gets MI, FL, NC, and CO, and closes the deal.

If so, all the nasty union / dirty Harry cheating in NV will become an effort wasted by the Dems. They may even give up when defeat becomes inevitable.

On the other hand, Trump should go after EVERY vote. No one knows how this turns out yet but God. So Trump supporters in NV need to go vote like the election depends on it... because it may.

We won in 2000. Though in retrospect, I don’t know how much of a win it really was.
