Is the bellwether county a thing? Will it hold this year?

It'll probably lose it's bellwether status. It'll go for Clinton, while Trump will win the state relatively easily.

With 44% counted, Vigo is strongly voting for Trump. So, if Trump does not win, Vigo loses its bellwether status.

I didn't see this until now, but FWIW, I totally expected Trump to win Vigo, even if Clinton had won nationally. This part of Indiana (where I'm from) is tailored perfectly for Trump. Also, a local poll there had Trump up by 20+ points in Vigo, so seeing him win by around 14 points tonight wasn't a surprise.
