[DeSantis4Prez]

"Good evening, and welcome to Election Night 2016, as we see former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, son of President George H.W. Bush and brother of George W. Bush vs. former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, wife of President Bill Clinton."

"Let's see the media's predictions for tonight:"

"NBC News predicts a landslide for Hillary Clinton, 473 for her to 71 for Jeb Bush."

"CNN predicts Hillary to get 314 Electoral Vote's to Jeb Bush's 224"

"Fox News projects Jeb Bush to get 272 Electoral Votes and for Hillary to get 266."

7:00 PM

"We now have poll closings from Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia.

Indiana, Kentucky, and South Carolina will go to Bush 28 Electoral Votes total.

Vermont will go to Secretary Clinton, 3 Electoral Votes.

Virginia and Georgia are too close to call at this hour."

"The count is 28 for Governor Bush and 3 for Secretary Clinton"

Bush: 28
Clinton: 3

Even in this universe NBC’s predictions are horrible. Why is Utah not Republican?

I am excited for this, though.

1:00 AM

Alaska and its 3 Electoral Votes have gone to Jeb Bush.

1:24 AM

Oregon, though no results are in, has been called for Hillary Clinton. The Emails may have glitched.


Here's a map of the map with the swing states in a lighter color based on who is leading in the state:

Currently, this would result in a 269-269 tie.

1:37

Clinton: 239
Bush: 224

[erſatz-york]

Jeb! Jeb! Jeb!

[DeSantis4Prez]

2:03 AM

Arizona and Iowa have been called for Governor Jeb Bush. Barack Obama carried Iowa in both of his election campaigns. Arizona has been a safe Republican state for a long time, but the Latino voters turned out for Hillary Clinton. This adds 17 Electoral Votes to Jeb Bush's total.

We can also now project Wisconsin for Secretary Clinton. This state was more competitive than usual, as Scott Walker, the Governor, campaigned for Jeb heavily in the state. But, Clinton still won in the end. 10 Electoral votes.

This leaves four states: Nevada, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Hampshire that are too close to call. All 4 states went to Barack Obama in both '08 and '12.

Clinton: 249
Bush: 241
Too Close to Call/Up for Grabs: 48


2:30 AM

We can now project that the 4 electoral votes out of New Hampshire will go to Jeb Bush. The state has not gone to the GOP since 2000, when his brother won it.

Clinton: 249
Bush: 245
