Are those early voting ballots being counted (and results published) already, or are they just exit polls?

Early voting reports are turnout by party (Dem, Rep, Other) in Nevada.

No results published until after polls close on Tuesday.

Nate does not factor early voting estimates into his models, nor do the other aggregators.

Yeah. 538's model relies on polls that take into account early voters' responses to reflect early voting. Except whoops, there haven't been many polls of NV this week.

Nevada Democrats aren't crossing over to vote for a Republican.

What I was saying was, naturally the early voting numbers would favor the Democrat and theoretically those numbers may be way different on Election Day.

Of course as you and others have pointed out, by now the early voting is high enough that it's basically over barring some huge mistake in the exit polling. So my earlier caveat really doesn't apply.

So what would you say are the chances in Nevada based on those early voting numbers? 70%? 90%? 95%?
It does look weird that the previous polls were so far off.
Maybe every other poll which showed Clinton ahead was wrong too?

Don't know about other polls but the recent CNN/ORC with trump +6 in Nevada had him +1 in Clark iirc. The same Clark where democrats have accumulated a massive EV lead. Their LV screen is a hell of a thing.

That is probably the only feasible path to victory, although it's still quite a longshot.

Edit: It still gives no explanation whatsoever on why he'd be going to Minnesota and not, say, Michigan.

So they've conceded PA and even NH? How is Michigan a closer shot than PA? :psyduck:

Nevada is operating within expected parameters, we knew the vote for people Trump belittles was going to be higher than LV screens were likely anticipating. The unknowns of this election are "how much does ground game matter" and what extent do LV screens actually work.

One of the most common comment I see from those monitoring early vote is that majority of dem and npa voting is coming from unlikely voters; mostly people who haven't voted in 2012, or only once in the last 3 elections (not sure if it includes 2010 and 2014 or it counts only presidentials). Based on that, I think LV are likely underpolling dem voters.

Wow, that poll is far more optimistic than I expected. The current initiative is more limited in medical scope than the last one, but even so there are vast numbers of Floridians who will benefit from medical marijuana.

quote:

“Debilitating Medical Condition” means cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, positive status for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), acquired
immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Crohn's disease, Parkinson's
disease, multiple sclerosis, or other debilitating medical conditions of the same kind or class as or comparable to those enumerated, and for
which a physician believes that the medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the potential health risks for a patient.

Not a lawyer but does the line I've bolded in the definition text give an out of the restrictions and allow prescription at a doctor's discretion like in other medical states?

NH should probably be red on this map if they're thinking of taking Michigan, Ohio and Iowa, but its small electoral votes would make no difference one way or the other. PA going red is an urban legend, so it'd make sense for them to concede it.

Of course, the latest rumblings is Trump camp has given up altogether and their new goalpost is "doing better than Romney."

I would agree and add the further caveat that they're probably overestimating the normalcy of this elections because the LV models all assume at least a Romney level effort on the Republicans part for GOTV.

I don't want to be smug and assured yet but it seems largely like that is coming to pass.

Trump always looks like he doesn't know how to hold babies either when someone hands theirs over for a photo op.

The Obamas and Hillary look like they've, you know, actually spent time raising their children as opposed to shuffling them over to a nanny.

Nate's made the closing argument - Hillary has to fear 3 factors:

White college voters going back to Trump
African-American turnout tanking
White non-college voters surge (the shy Trump wave).

If only one happens, she's fine.
If all three, he wins.
If two out of three, it's a coin toss (and potentially EV / popular vote split in Trump's favour).

Not as optimistic as others, but I think it's good odds for the good guys.

I don't see 1 happening at all, and while 2 may be lower than 2008/12, I don't think it'll drop to "tanking" levels.

3 is the most likely of any, but even that I can see being less than anticipated due to Trump's complete disinterest in a GOTV effort.

I really can't shake the feeling that Nate Silver is hedging his results so much that his commentary on the polls has gone very far past an event horizon of useless punditry. But that's probably because that's exactly what's happening.

Everything I've read from him in the last month translated into "This candidate could win, unless they lose. What the polls tell us, according to my very scientific model, is that the winning will happen if things that could cause the candidate to lose do not happen, but if things happen that could cause the candidate to lose, then look out! That would mean, according to my very scientific model, that they could lose."
