13. From Ohio, here--some advice
Sat Nov 5, 2016, 08:30 AM
Nov 2016

Ohio is not that important in this election for Hillary, although it is a "must have" for Trump. There are numerous ways she can win without it, none for him. All things change, and Ohio's importance in national politics is waning (more so next census, when they reapportion congress critters). That said, the polls may be wrong--there is some evidence they are undercounting the Latino vote here. And I think you're right about Florida.

However, for your own sake, stop checking fivethirtyeight more than once a day and check out http://election.princeton.edu/
