ELECTION COULD STILL RESULT IN TRUMP-CLINTON TIE: ANALYST
Newsweek ^

Posted on 11/10/2016 3:52:01 PM PST by Mean Daddy

Updated | As of Thursday, three states remain electoral toss-ups, according to Associated Press projections: New Hampshire, Michigan and Arizona. If Hillary Clinton wins the combined 31 electoral votes from those states, she will still be short of Donald Trump’s 279 votes, more than the 270 needed to win the presidency.

However, AP analyst Michael McDonald, who teaches political science at the University of Florida and runs the United States Elections Project, an election statistics website, says he is skeptical that Trump won Wisconsin, as the AP projected. If that state flips for Clinton and she wins the other toss-up states, she and Trump could be in a tie at 269 votes each.

Libs are trying to overturn the election result.

If it was the other way around, they would say its legitimate.

Whether or not AP accepts reality, that’s their problem.

I heard that 100% of Michigan votes are in and Michigan SOS has called it for Trump.

Arizona has 627,000 uncounted votes in a state that turned out less than 2 million voters?

is skeptical that Trump won Wisconsin, as the AP projected

After 100% of the precincts came in, it was no longer a projection. And 100% of the other states are in and clearly Trump has won Arizona and Michigan.
