Shouldn’t it have The White House? Not the Congress?

Maybe they’re going to be focusing on the Senate and House elections…
Not sure where Nine is getting the idea that polls close at 11am AEDT - Alaska will be voting until 5pm AEDT and even the west coast polls won’t close until 3pm AEDT.
Today will be broadcast live into SA tomorrow morning to cover the election
is that the ACA set?
Yes, national news & ACA share a set/studio.

Apparently there are STILL 12 hours to go until polls close according to this LIVE report broadcast in Queensland
The number of times they claim to be live in the first few minutes was a joke.

This thread is now for results discussion only.
I think it’s going to be tight and that Trump is going to win. Such a shame that the Democrat heavyweights didn’t give Bernie a go.
They did, he lost the popular vote and the states total. He just wasn’t popular enough with the Democrat base.
I’m in Europe at the moment, which is inconvenient timezone-wise. The results will be called at 3am, so I’ll be staying up for then! I think Clinton will clinch it, but I’m scared of a Brexit-style result. I sincerely hope there isn’t violence from the losing side.
How stupidly overdone is some of this Australian coverage. Just play an American network simulcast on one of your digital channels.
Just to let you know, this thread is now for results discussion (which states are going blue/red, the impact of the win etc).
Media discussion is in this thread: US Presidential Election - Election Day 2016
So far all suggestions are that Hilary seems to be edging Trump out in all polls and the states that matter. If Trump can’t win Florida there is no hope for him. There has also been an increased Hispanic vote reported across America which is only going to favour Hilary. The media want it to sound like a close election and sure it is but basically for Trump to win everything needs to go perfectly for him and for HIlary to lose there needs to be a bit of a last minute swing away from her.

First polls are closed:
NBC calling Indiana, Kentucky for Trump. Vermont for Hillary. A fair number of too close to calls, including Georgia.
Trump 19 - Hillary 3: CNN.
Not a good start for HIllary.
Umm, in 2012 Obama was behind until the West Coast came in. Don’t get your hopes up just yet.
Georgia could go blue this election, which will put a big hole in the solid Republican south. Expect this to be a heavily watched state in the hours to come.
