Fox did an exit poll on that, actually. Of people who responded who disliked both candidates, Trump took 40%~, Clinton 25%~

Obviously, grain of salt.

If Clinton wins Gerogia, it might be already game over for Trump.

I doubt it, but it would be amazing if Clinton wins a deep red state.

Each network has their own system, taking into account past history, pre-vote polling, exit polling, and the actual results coming in.

Orange county in Florida voted 62,7% for Clinton, 253,000 votes. Trump 34% with 131,000 votes.

That is devastating for Trump, as that's a Republican stronghold yet it is landslide victory for Clinton there.

Trump wins West Virginia and South Carolina, but by a narrow margin. This is bad news for GOP, as it means both states can become swing states next elections.

That SE corner of Florida has a huge population, and none of them are over 50% reporting. Big Clinton gains to be found there.

Clinton got New York. I'm sorry, Darkness. She's also leading in New Mexico.

Trump gets Kansas, the Dakotas, Texas, and Wyoming, plus 4 electoral votes in Nebraska.

Arizona and Colorado, too close to call.

Edit: Trump takes Arkansas.
