Hillary Clinton/Martin Heinrich 332 Electoral Votes 51.1%
Donald Trump/Chris Christie 206 Electoral Votes 47.2%

Not only that, but the margins of every state are exactly the same as they were in 2012 as well...

I'd assume there was some voting data error in which the 2012 results were used as test data on a bunch of websites but unable to be updated for some reason.

My brain would hurt over the cognitive dissonance of how both candidates did so well.

This would be me at first and I'd facepalm and laugh about how the MSM can't even get the election right. This would proof that the MSM really aren't professional at their job and only survive because of entropy and the closed nature of cable television, which prevents newer and better competitors from even having a chance, compared to the superior open system of the internet.

If this turned out to not be a mistake I would be really pissed off - not because of the result but because the correlation of 1. It would just feel wrong, especially since Trump supporters are very different from Romney supporters. I may even be suspicious of a fixed election depending on pre-election or exit polls.

I would go to Atlas and congratulate the 55,000 members who were one or two states away from the exact result in the maps they posted every day on this board.

Best way to stump the Trump: sarcastically agree with everything he says; compliment his hands, his businesses, his hair; make up his policies for him, except make them bad (but not noticeably bad), wait for him to agree, and then point out the faults; etc..

That is pretty good.
