"it's nervewracking because how could people actually believe or agree with what he represents." saying his words...have hurt. i am a double minority being a woman and a black woman and his tactics really targeted minorities and it's just heartbreaking. it's been a messy election season but david helm

what a man says that marks him..it's what he does."some choosing to take their breakfast with a side beautiful day today and i dont want my day ruined by the fact that i may or may not be happy with the outcome of the election so i am just trying to take it as it comes. of iowa..many iowans telling me on and off camera that overall they are pretty shocked this morning. in waterloo, lauren moss news 7 kwwl. coming up - more politics. we explain the electoral college... and how trump took all of iowa's six electoral votes. the nice warm weather lasts a little longer. storm track seven chief meteorologist mark schnackenberg

from the kwwl stormtrack information. here is additional forecast information from the kwwl stormtrack 7 weather team: it is not going to be as cold southwest late. thursday is the warmest of the next seven days with highs in the mid 60s due to temperatures...near 50 degrees. the sky remains clear through early next week with no rain or tonight as it was last night due to the wind increasing from the a gusty southwest wind. friday and saturday are cooler and closer to normal temperatures...near 50 degrees. the sky remains clear through early next week with no rain or to the wind increasing from the a gusty southwest wind. friday and saturday are cooler and early next week with no rain or snow through at least wednesday. donald trump came out on top donald trump came out on top with 279 electoral college votes. but hillary clinton is expected to win the popular vote.

kwwl's elizabeth amanieh is here to explain. amanda-i tried to break it down as simply as i could with political analyst dr. chris larimer and we used candy. one recess piece represents one electoral college vote. and one "so if you look at the map. what we've done here is we've the number of electoral college votes that they have. so both have 29 so they both have 29 pieces. and what we're using are the recess peanut butter cups to represent popular votes. andc a million popular votes." so last night in florida, clinton and trump received approximately 4 and a half milliom votes so they each get 9 peanut butter cups. we know that donald trump had the slight edge in florida. so he did win all the electoral college votes. so he got all 29 recess pieces but they both ended up with the same number of recess peanut butter cups, and that they both have 4 and a hald million votes. now you got up to new york, but in new york, hillary

donald trump had two and a half million votes so donald recess peanut butter cups, so at this point they both have the same number of recess pieces. in terms of electoral college votes they both have, 29 eices pieces, but now you're talking about hillary clinton 17 recess peanut butter cups and donald hillary clinton has obviously received mroe popular votes at this time, and if you move over to north dakota and south dakota, two less populated states, donald trump won both. he won them by a combined margin of 230,000 votes. so he gets the 6 electoral college votes from both states, so his electoral college vote goes up to 35, hillary clinton's stil at 29. but because she built up such a lead in new york she still has more popular votes. we're only taking half of a reces peanut butter cup at this point, as far as cutting into

margin. and if so that pattern repeats itself across the country, you can have a case where a candidate like donald trump who wins less populated states, most of the less populated states, is going to rack up large margins in the electoral college. but if hillary clinton, his opponent is winning large states like new york and she may end up winning the popular vote. i also asked dr. larimer now does this popular vote then really make a difference. and he said it does when it comes to those local elections down the ballot. elizabeth amanieh news 7 kwwl. iowa has six electoral votes... that number comes from our total number of congressmen in washington.

election officials say election day voter turnout was higher than expected it to be here in iowa. the secretary of state's office says several county auditors reported higher voter turnout than expected -- for those coming to vote in-person yesterday. the number of iowans who voted early wasy down about 40-thousand compared to 2012 -- which officials say precincts on election day. as a reminder -- you can see the full results from election night across the state and the country online -- at kwwl dot com. linn county voters have spoken-- they want just three board of supervisors members--instead of their current five. right now the county is dividied

each district-- kwwl's kristin rogers joins us live from cedar rapids--with what this vote means--kristin? supervisor ben rogers tells me-- he believes the county is best served with five supervisors-- but this decision was up to the said yes-- lets knock it down. the linn county board of supervisors-- is made up of five members-- but voters--want just three. supervisors are fanned out across linn county, i'm told moving it down to three could result in all three of them coming from cedar rapids." "you'll have cedar rapids centered board and people who live out in the rural areas, they've lost their voice, elected tuesday along with supervisor brent oleson-- will serve two more years--before it's up to voters who will fill the three supervisor spots--come 2019. "we could all be running community decideds to run." rogers says-voters may have chosen to reduce the

all five members each currently making more than 100-thousand dollars a year. "i think that there's still a lot of bad taste in people's mouths about our salaries and so for really what their losing overall is representation." his concern--he says- is for the people outside of the city. "now we are gonna go back to three urban supervisors and i think the community is not going to be served well by that." stacey walker--was just elected yesterday to replace supervisor amy johnson-- he will be sworn in on tuesday-- all other members will stay until the next election, and could also vye for one of the just three seats in 2019. live in cedar rapids--kristin rogers news 7...kwwl.
