ok, im just jumping in here without reading the downthread.
from my fave electoral-vote.com 11/6/16 edition, breathe and be calm.

ok charlie cook reversesâŚfrom zero to âminiscule, not zeroâ
Nine days agoâbefore James Comey dropped his bombshellâelection guru Charlie Cook declared that the race was over and Hillary Clinton was going to be the winner. Now he is taking back his declaration, and said that with the polls tightening in the past week, a Trump victory is conceivable, although he said the chances of it are small. Cook said that Trumpâs only path is to hold onto all the states Mitt Romney won in 2012, win Florida, Ohio, and Iowa, and then flip a couple of the âblue wallâ states. He added that the chances of Clinton getting 330 electoral votes are higher than the chances of Trump getting 270, but the chances of the latter occurring are not zero anymore
ok so not zero. yeah, im worried.
abc news / wapo is back pre-comey
Sheâs now up 47% to 43%, which is exactly where things stood a week before Comeyâs announcement.
the section on early voting is both devastating and restrained.
In the end, these early voting numbers could be predictive of whatâs going to happen on Election Day. Alternatively, they could prove to be Hillary Clintonâs insurance policy against a Comey-inspired backlash. Either way, though, she still looks like the much better bet to claim the White House. Charlie Cook (see above) probably shouldnât be so skittish
ok itâs not 11/8 yet so donât relax, donât let up, gotv.
And be calm, breathe and smile.
(personally, iâll accept the more or less currently predicted result, around 320 ev clinton. iâm guessing itâll be surprisingly bigger than that, though i wont eat a bug if im wrong)
