Talk about voter intimidation....

1 dead, multiple people shot near Azusa polling station; active shooter heavily armed, officials say

L. A. Times.

Quote:
One person was killed and at least three others were wounded Tuesday in an active shooting near a polling place in Azusa.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Capt. Jeff Scroggin said police were dealing with at least one suspect who was heavily armed.

At least one of the victims was headed to the polling station to vote, a law enforcement source told The Times.

Officers arrived about 2:02 p.m. in the 300 block of North Orange Avenue to find multiple shooting victims and a man with a rifle. The gunman immediately fired at least 20 shots at police, said the source.

Under a hail of gunfire, officers took cover and returned shots at the man, who retreated into a home in the 500 block of Fourth Street, said the source, who requested anonymity because the case was ongoing. No officers were injured in the shooting.....
Sad.

Yeah, it would seem to not make sense, but it does. If, for example, votes are first reported from major population centers that tend to skew Democrat and said candidate hasn't made up enough ground to overcome the expected votes from rural areas, they will often declare the Republican the winner at that point. That's just one example of why they would call the person who's "losing" a state the winner.

Possibly, it's not unusual either way. For perspective, here's what RCP was reporting on Delaware... before it just updated.

Delaware (3)
Clinton:41.2
Trump:54.4
(10% reporting)

Already called a win for Clinton at this point.

Only race that matters to me at this point is Hurd/Gallego.

AKA a Washington Insider/lobbyist vs. Hurd.

Well his doctor did say Trumps examination yielded only positive results.
Well, in that case, your doctor said you tested positive for a slap in the face.

I just wanted to say this though:

IN MEMORANDUM

I shall miss you, oh 2016 Election Year, as you were the one of the most entertaining 15 months of my life. Never before have I experience so many up, downs, sideways, swirls, and shitstorms since my tragic rollercoster ride of 2007. But even then, you have topped it all.

And here you are, on your deathbed, giving us one final breath of life until whatever comes out of your carcass like a newborn alien, and just as attractive as one too.

There were arguments had between us, you and me, over what will happen on November 9th, the day after your death, but always remember this: No matter what happens, I will be crying twofold, for not only will I have to live with whatever baby you should have aborted, but I will always miss the drama that entailed over your life.

Be at peace, my friend, as there will not be anything close to the level of entertainment you have created, unless a miracle happens and we really have a Lordgrim/whoever wins tonight campaign in 2020. Because, right now, my vote could go either way.

Farewell, my dearest election cycle.

/tosses flowers into grave.

Well, the surprise of the night is Pennsylvania.

As of 33% reporting, NYT is saying Trump is beating Clinton .5%

Counterpoint: Get ***, 2016. I can't believe we had a whole twenty month election cycle for the leader of the free world where the goal was to find which candidate you hate less than the other one.

Counter-Counterpoint: Can we have a reroll?

I mean, no matter what happens tonight, we still have to wake up on January 21st with a President Trump or President Clinton.

The U.S. needs a better DM/GM. What kind of jerk doesn't let you reroll after landing critical fails on two characters.

fixed, because Johnson and Stein isn't that much better.

One's an overzealous hippie, the other doesn't know his *** if you point it on the map

The latter is more likely than the former, but neither is very likely to cause problems on this computer. My laptop is (almost) more SFW than my actual work computer.

There is an alternative.

I don't recommend it.
