Rubio's eight points ahead of Trump thus far in Florida. This bears out the polls showing high numbers of Republican cross-over for Clinton amongst early voters. Not a good thing for him.
Amazes me that people can be voting for Rubio after he abandons his duties to run for President, and I'm sure still collected his paycheck. If one of my employees stops doing his job and when he should be working is actively seeking another job, I fire his ass.

I don't think that's significant registered Republican crossover. Probably mostly independents. Although it may be more than it was historically.

These 538 audio issues are getting real annoying. Where are you viewing this? I can see the text on their site, but I can't find a video.
Every hour at five past, this stream should start:

You can also get there from their overall election night coverage page, as a tiny orange button next to "live video" will pop up.

I would not advise watching trackers unless you want to stress yourself. They don't really mean anything due to the time it takes different counties to report in.
I'm following along on 538's feed, and I feel like I'm getting more out of it than watching counties seesaw back and forth like you get out of trackers.
(I learned this from the primaries, so maybe the general will be different...but I'm doubtful)

The CNN live stream is free til 4 am PST. I recommend it. Good coverage and updates

Florida is the textbook definition of "swing state." The swingest of swing states.

According to fivethirtyeight, 43% of women surveyed are scared of trump winning. That's close to half. This is the world's scariest cheeto, and yet he is neck-and-neck in florida

Holy shit Virginia is in favor of Trump too, what even is this election
The early returns are always weird because states breakdown regionally. The western half of Virgina reported first last cycle as well.

Clinton back in the lead.

God I'm terrified. Pretty much half the nations at Marrakesh just said they doubted America's commitment to the Paris Agreement if Trump got elected.
The Paris accords and pretty much any international attempts to prevent more climate change will be toast when Trump wins. I'm scared af.
