I hope you join us tomorrow night to watch the results come in from around the country. As you’d expect we are going to have live election results from every federal election in the country, plus governors’ races. But in addition to all the usual bells and whistles we’ve got one really cool addition that I’m really looking forward to using.
Remember, send us your pictures from voting. Details here. This is one of the thing I enjoy most about election days at TPM. So please don’t forget. Also, sign up for Prime. By now you know why!
Let me share with you my take on the race on the day before election day.
Having been found by a federal judge to have tailored their voting law reforms specifically to target black voters, the North Carolina GOP is out this morning bragging about a dip in African-American voter participation.
Polls on the final day of the campaign make it look like Trump is bouncing off the Clinton Wall one more time.
It’s November 7 and the PollTracker Average stands at Clinton 46.2 percent, Trump 42.2 percent, a 4.0 percentage-point spread.
The TPM Electoral Scoreboard stands at Clinton 269, Trump 203. Ohio, North Carolina, and Florida are in the Toss Up category.
In case you missed them over the weekend I wanted to flag two pieces that got a lot of attention over the weekend and which I think are very important. The first, a simple look at the unabashedly anti-Semitic ad Donald Trump rolled out over the weekend as his closing message for the campaign. The second, my take on the question, Is Donald Trump an anti-Semite?
I’m very leery of SLATE’s decision to publish projections beginning at 8 AM tomorrow of who is going to win the presidential election in so-called battleground states. They are teaming up with VoteCastr, one of these Silicon Valley startups, who claims to have devised extensive data networks to forecast results. Leave aside the question of whether the predictions by this latest band of hotshots will be accurate. Is SLATE setting a dangerous precedent by teaming up with them?
As move into the last 48 hours of the campaign, I’m going to ask you again. Please take a moment right now to sign up for TPM Prime. We have a great team and we want to expand it. We want to spend more time doing original reporting. Prime helps us do that. It’s as simple as that. It also gives you all the benefits of membership. But that’s why I want you to sign up.
