That's right. Gambling time is over. Time to start drinking like the rest of us.

Sad to see Gary Johnson didn't do better. For all the "I hate both of 'em" crap I hear all day long, seems like a lot of people still voted for someone they hate.

Probably. They just rationalized it as voting for the person they hated least.

I'm a bit confused here.

On CNN I already see him having over 270 electoral votes.

I suppose that number can still change because only part of the votes in each state are in? So those numbers I see now are just an estimate?...

Also, does a presidential candidate get all votes of a state when he wins in that state, or only those that are in his favor?...

Yup, the math's all there. :D

Based on our poll and the results, the country should just leave 2016 to us 8)
