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.

This all sounds like the last days of the Civil War. Pres. Davis on the run while Richmond burns, looking to survive the next 24 hrs. If we can just get a breather we can regroup comeback and win the war.

Arizona is a done deal. Martha McCallum just announced it on Fox ‘On The Record.’

268 Clinton to 270 Trump is Newsweeks best possible scenario because Trump won a single vote of the 4 available in Maine - they split their vote. Newsweek did not account for this.

Nothing matters now. Clinton conceded the election.

Someone would have to do the rundown of the new House’s state-by-state makeup to predict how many states would vote Trump vs. how many for Hill.

Actually, it's not hard. Consider that the majority of Dems in Congress come from a small number of states - California, New York, most New England states, New Jersey, Maryland, the left coast, Minnesota, a handful more. There are fifteen or so that have more Ds in their delegations than Rs. Just the states that went for Clinton and not even all of those.
