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 Trumps 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.

Trump has a 4.15% lead in AZ with 99.86% reporting. According to the Arizona Sec State, the 4.15% difference equates to ~85,000 votes.
But there are 627,000 early and provisional ballots yet to be counted.

They take a dim view of that. However, I can say with authority, Mr McDonald is smoking some very serious weed. He should check it for pcp.

Wisconsin had a bigger margin than Michigan for Trump, so don’t know what is up with this “AP Analyst/Professor” - projections and polls for the past several elections are designed to “influence” the electorate. Thank God for the alternative sources of analysis on the Internet busting the LSM lying hides. There is no reason to pay any attention to polls and projections in Politics unless you are taking bets on how wrong they will be when the election is over.

I just added the numbers at the AZ SOS website, and it totals 2,002,000 votes assigned to one of the 4 candidates out of 2,078,000 total votes cast.
That means that there are about 75,000 votes yet to be counted, while Trump's margin over H is 83,000.
Looks like it's over, in Trump's favor.

No, there are not. Those have already been added to the totals. Not according to the Sec of State, who is quoted in the article.
Perhaps, you're right and he's wrong. Or the reporter is lying...

A tie goes to the House Of Representatives. The Republican-controlled House Of Representatives. The absolute last thing that would happen would be the election of Clinton.

Thanks for posting. Read earlier that Newsweek had to shelve Hillary’s face on their post election magazine cover.
