Question:When do the East Coast Returns Come In?
11/06/2016 | nikos1121

Posted on 11/06/2016 9:36:48 AM PST by nikos1121

When the polls close in New York, NC, PA, FL, NH etc, ie the East Coast, will the networks be able to start posting results, or must we wait until they close on the West Coast?

Does anyone know for sure?

I’ll bet any freeper a sandwich that judges have polls open in Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania til midnight in certain “special” precincts.

3 media signs of a good night for Trump:

1. A judge has to keep some polls open due to long lines, weather, Hillary losing, etc.

2. A story of a confusing ballot somewhere causing people to vote for a wrong candidate. Extra credit if they claim they voted for Pat Buchanan.

3 A story about voter intimidation against minorities in a battleground state. It never happens when the Democrats win.

We are voting at 2 here, me and my new voting family members. And at 3 the first states come in (IN and KY). I am going to be so nervous. I don’t know what to do. For the first time I want to put on a plaid onesie like pajama boy....

Every election back to 1964, (those I can remember) they start reporting as soon as th4 state closes.

If you are good at reading people you can get a sense of what the exit polls are saying by the news people’s tone.

This has felt like the first Scott Brown election in MA.

I doubt trump will win here, but he will show better than Mitt.

Trump carrying MD would be truly shocking.

If you're in the mood, why not? Especially if you work for a living instead of living in Mommy's basement like Pajama Boy? I recommend hot cocoa too. I'll be having some at the end of my l-o-n-g day.

It depends on the results. Blue states going for Trump...”To close to call!”, delaying to avoid all RAT vote discouragement.

Any Witch victories trumpeted loudly and quickly.

The first two states to report are not on the East Coast: KY and IN.

I have to say that Maryland going for Trump would be like South Carolina going for Hillary! Either one would point to an overwhelming landslide!

Virginia closes at 7.

Jailary ought to win VA by at least 5% minimum, anything less could point to President-elect Donald Trump.

Keep a close eye on Virginia but don’t get too excited if we are leading early - there could be a Dem surge in the final 10% of precincts reporting, like what happened to Cuccinelli 3 years ago.

If there isn’t a late Jaillary surge, that probably means that the urban black vote did not materialize - and perhaps might not nationally - and could be foreshadowing a truly great night for us!

About two hours after the Clinton News Networks project the winners so they won’t have to remain open because the same networks told them their vote supposedly didn’t mean anything anyway.

Breakout the Party Hats.

Why would we want to tune in to the networks to watch their lies and spew? Worse, making them money in the process?

I have every intention of going to bed early. I’ll find out the results in the morning when I power up my computer.

Their egos demand they say SOMETHING, even if it is a non committed .. “Leans toward Trump but could swing toward hillary ... we’ll just have to see”

They are allowed to announce the winners of each state directly after the polls close. For states in two time zones (e.g. Florida), they have to wait until after the final poll closes in the latest time zone.

Sometimes they can’t immediately name the winner as it is too close to call.
