2.6% up with 72% of the votes counted. I think that she is going to get it, but probably there will be an automatic recounting.
RCP says it's 25% counted, and with my experience with CNN's reporting, I'd say that's the better number.

To repeat: CNN reports count% as the % of counties that are reporting any results at all, not as % of ballots counted/total ballots.

Talk about kicking someone when he is down.

Looks like Clinton is going to win big based on Florida / Ohio / NC

Yes, but it is still a reliable estimation IMO, considering that it also considers the demographics.

quick tip for election newbs
Oh I thought it was something that actually addressed my point :P

I am aware of what you say in that post - what I was wondering was, CNN are comparing current tallied voting %s against final %s in 2012. Current tallied were primarily early voting votes. And hence it looked like Hillary % > Obama %. But was wondering it it would swing back a bit (not Trump > Hillary, but Obama 2012 > Hillary) once remaining votes (those cast today) are tallied because voters on voting day are likely to be more republican then democratic as a percentage compared to early voters.

All likely irrelevant because it looks like HRC should take it.

Trump was expected to take Ohio. Loses that and this could be a landslide.

She's definitely got this in the bag.
Hopefully no drama after she gets 270+ and he concedes.
