electoral votes. hillary clinton will win new york state. that's donald trump's home state, as well. hillary clinton carries the empire state. donald trump, we project, will win kansas, with its six electoral votes, nebraska with its five electoral votes, and wyoming with its three electoral votes. donald trump wins those three. donald trump wins some more states. three more, he will carry north dakota, with its three electoral votes, and south dakota with its three electoral votes. donald trump carries those states as well. donald trump carrying some more states. let's take a look at the states where it's too early to call right now. these are the states where the polls have closed, but we're not able to make any projections. arizona, colorado, louisiana, michigan, minnesota, new mexico, texas, and wisconsin. no projections yet. here's the electoral map, as it stands right now. and hillary clinton has 97 electoral votes. donald trump has 84 electoral votes. remember, 270, that's the magic number you

but california has 39 million people, and it only gets 55 electors in the electoral college. if california voters got equal representation in the electoral college, california would get 1 t 99 electors. that is how this is. the electoral college was designed when california was still mexico. it was designed when the variation in population from state to state was nothing like the extremes that we see today. today's population numbers and the patterns of settlement across the continent were unimaginable to the men who designed the electoral college, but we're stuck with it. this archaic device designed by men who did not trust voters. it would fatake a constitutiona amendment to change it. which means we are stuck with it for the unimaginable future. if we observed a foreign country using it when we go there to foreign countries as election observers, we would say, oh, no, no, no, you can't do that. can't do that. i've been an election observer in foreign country on election day. watching people vote ma. and no one called it the popular vote. they called it the vote. no one sa

six electoral votes. evan mcmullin, a third-party candidate, conservative, making a push in utah right now. too early to call there let's update the all-important electoral college map. where it stands right now, you can see donald trump maintains his lead. he has 139 electoral votes compared to hillary clinton's 104 electoral votes. 270 needed to be elected president of the united states. let's get another key race alert right now. here's where the votes stand. in florida, 95% of the votes is in. donald trump still maintains an impressive 105,000 vote lead over hillary clinton, 5% of the vote outstanding 29 electoral streets, trump ahead in florida. in north carolina, 81% of the vote is in. trump maintains an impressive 114,000 vote lead, over hillary clinton, 15 electoral votes. trump ahead in north carolina. in ohio, 67% of the vote is n donald trump has a very impressive, almost 400,000 vote lead over hillary clinton. 18 electoral votes at stake in ohio. in virginia, 83% of the vote is in, hillary cli

hillary clinton has gone ahead with 190 electoral votes to donald trump's 171 electoral votes. 270 needed to win the white house. hillary clinton is now ahead in the all-important electoral college map count. are they breathing a little bit easier over there at clinton headquarters? >> i don't think so, to be completely honest. at some point, in this night, as we watch the returns come in from states such as wisconsin and michigan, the clinton headquarters was very confident that they had -- that was their firewall, remember? wisconsin wasn't even a part of the conversation. it was michigan, it was pennsylvania, and virginia, and new hampshire, when these return comes in, okay they have virginia but pennsylvania's still up in the air. new hampshire seems to be leaning towards trump and michigan seems to be leaning towards trump. i don't think so at all. we've been talking now for six months about what is donald trump's path to the presidency. at some point we're going to approach the period where it's a question of does she have a path to the presidency, if -- if she can't win pennsylvani

electorate. not the 22nd.t goes on to say congress may determine the time of choosing the elections in which they shall give their votes and they shall be the same throughout the united states. where did this come from? basically some framers, alexander hamilton, the rap star of the moment, thought the electoral college was the most perfect part of the constitution. he thought it was the part that everyone would agree was the best part. the framers rejected the possibility of direct election. ames wilson, who was the popular sovereignty said why not just have the people elect the president? the framers didn't want that because they were afraid of a dem gog being chosen. they mistrusted direct democracy. they thought by creating this wise group of elite, former office holders, you know, people who could filter popular passions, these electors would choose a president. what is so interesting is they expected that in many cases the electoral college would be unable to reach a majority decision and the election wo

now, there's emocratic electors and republican electors. in 2000, here were people who counted rutherford b. hays as an. i was originally approached by editors of a new series for the university of kansas on presidential elections. they said, would you write one on 1848? or 1860. and as george said, i would spend a lot of time riding about the. we got on the topic of 1876 and why would i want to do that? well, i had written some chapters in a new version of a textbook called the civil war and rejuxz - chapters of reconstruction a bit yert. there was the onstruction of two things of the one was the university of colorado as a centennial state in the summer of 1876. why, i wanted to know, did this happen? because the admission of colorado with its three electoral votes changed the game. arguably, it was the single most important thing preventing the democrat tilden from winning the election, because had colorado not been admitted as a state, the winning electoral vote majority would have been 184 electoral votes, which is exactly what tilden

now the latest electoral count. here's the electoral count. donald trump with 238 electoral votes. hillary clinton with 209 electoral votes. now this is the state of iowa we now call for donald trump. the board is coming up now. hillary clinton had been trailing here. she's down now by more than 10 points. donald trump with precincts reporting, donald trump wins the state of iowa. now we should go back and look at the electoral college count again and the electoral college board will show it that donald trump has what must be considered at this point a healthy lead in the electoral college. remember, the big west coast states are in. california is in for hillary clinton. hawaii is in for hillary clinton. oregon is in for hillary pennsylvania is one of them. wisconsin has gone now. wisconsin is another on that is up for grabs. michigan is leaning towards donald trump. secretary clinton is trailing in the most unlikely of ways. let's bring in our panel. a democratic strategist, the let's begin with you. where are >> we were all wrong. the map was wrong. what's interesting about this

he has 244 electoral votes to hillary clinton's 215 electoral votes. need 270 to be elected president of the united states. trump is betting closer and closer and closer in this improbable run, very impressive run for donald trump. john, let's take a look and see where we stand in these remaining states. >> we're not done yet in these remaining states but at the moment six states that president obama carried four years ago have flipped. we're not done completely. but including florida. and at the moment we're looking at pennsylvania, ohio which is done, michigan, wisconsin, iowa. stunning. as you look at it. so let's go back and look and see the ones we're still waiting on. 88% now of the vote. 49 to 46 here. this has been steady. and we did this by hand a short time ago. now it has fed in. 99% in the vote now in milwaukee. this is where the democrats were telling us earlier just wait, we're going to get a lot of votes out of milwaukee. they did get more votes but nowhere near enough to close the statewide gap. you're still at 49 to 46. and you see the

together, they have 165 electoral votes. but by design the compact won't have an effect until it's joined by states bearing a total of 270, the majority needed to elect a president. >> the problem is, this is something that sounds great, it's well intentioned, but there are all sorts of unforeseen consequences that i don't think have really been thought through. >> reporter: democratic state senator michael gianaris represents part of queens in new york city and opposes the national popular vote compact. he says the compact fundamentally changes a constitutional process and would disadvantage small states-- something the founding fathers tried to avoid in the constitution. >> if you come to a system that's purely based on popular vote, all you're going to see is money being spent in the big media markets because that's where the density is. some of these bigger populations would then drive the attention to the exclusion of the rest of the country, and i don't think that would be good either. >> reporter: gianaris also believ

electoral votes. hillary clinton wins in new jersey. in ma we projects will go to hillary clinton. massachusetts. let's move to maryland. ten electoral votes. we project hillary clinton wins in maryland. she'll carry that state. an important win for hillary clinton in the state of maryland. more wins for hillary clinton coming in right now. in rhode island, hillary clinton carries the state of rhode island with it's four electoral votes. delaware, three electoral votes. all going to hillary clinton and the district of colombia, three electoral votes go to hillary clinton. donald trump also has some projected wins, three specifically. we project he'll carry the state of oklahoma with seven electoral votes. donald trump will carry tennessee with 11 electoral votes and donald trump will also carry mississippi with six electoral votes 789 we ha. we have a key race alert right now. too early to call in florida right now. 29 electoral votes as stake. too early the call in florida. too early to call in penns

>> the way the electoral college is set up is that it is in the constitution that the electoral college selects the president of the united states. however, it's also in the constitution how the electors are allocated to the states. but how the states pick the electors is statute law. that's not set by the constitution, that is set by the individual states themselves. so now what we is this winner take alt system, 48 of the state. you would see trump would get 50% and clinton would get 50%. what we have in 48 of the 50 states is whoever gets one more vote than all of the candidates gets all of the electors. what we were talking about last weekend is a plan that try to change the way that states allocate their electors and the idea would be to change the rules so that states would change their electors not to the person who got the most votes in their state but to the candidate that got the most votes nationally. the states have the power to do that. in fact, there are 11 tastes that have passed laws to do exactly this, conditioned on the fact that enough other states passing the laws th

is alreadyation locked in 11 states, having 165 electoral votes, needs states with 105 more electoralotes to become law in time for the 2020 election. juan: john koza, what states do you see as most likely were the most fertile area to be able to reach that 105 target now that you need? >> in the last few years, this proposal has been -- become quite bipartisan. for example, the latest state legislative chamber to pass this proposal was the arizona house, where two thirds of the republicans and two thirds of the democrats sponsored the bill. it also passed recently in the and excuse me, the republican-controlled new york senate. last couple of years, there has been increasing bipartisan support from both parties to change the system. the real motivation for the change was not primarily this issue of whether the candidate with fewer votes ins up in the white house -- although, that is very, very important, obviously -- but the fact that most of the states are ignored in the presidential campaign. virtually all of the presidential campaign that ended tuesday was conducted in just 12 sta

is she is calling for electors to do and who these electors are who will not exactly personally meet,ut will cast their votes in december. >> the electors are generally activists of their political party. so donald trump, at the moment, is going to get at least 279 of the 538 electors. those 279 people are active republicans, either officeholders, former officeholders, party officials, maybe donors -- people who are very devoted to the republican party. there is very little history that indicates anymore than zero or one of these 279 electors would ever deviate from their party's nominee. so when the electoral college meets on december 19, donald trump will probably get 100% off republicans who are committed to vote for him. juan: isn't possible, given the reality that the electoral college basically prejudices the smaller states because every state has a least two senators, some of them just have one congressman or two congressman versus california or new york, so they always have a disproportionate share -- isn't it possible we may be entering an era of more this because we are now

now, there's democratic electors and republican electors. and as in 2000, there were republicans in washington, that counting rutherford b. hays as an in. i was originally approached by editors of a new series for the university of kansas on presidential elections. they said, would you write one on 1848? or 1860? and as george said, i would spend a lot of time riding about -- writing about the antebellum. period, and i did not want to do that again. so we got on the topic of 1876 and why would i want to do that? well, i had written some chapters in a new version of a textbook called the civil war and reconstruction. and i had written the chapters of reconstruction a bit earlier. and i was puzzled by two things. the university of colorado as a centennial state in the summer of 1876. why, i wanted to know, did this happen? because the admission of colorado with its 3 electoral votes changed the game. arguably, it was the single most important thing preventing the democrat tilden from winning the election, because had colorado not been admitted

or electoral data. then i see that we are looking at hillary clinton as a very large number and donald trump at a medium, lower number. how that's mixed in to poll is confusing. why is it so, already accessible and ready out there and how are we predicting that? what happens when you have a contested. if trump goes to 270 and hillary 332, it almost seems to me that the republican party will contest. i mean, because i feel once you reach that magic number, then you have a whole new fight there. is that possible or is that going to be squashed because the democrat has more? how would that be accepted? i just don't see the republicans are going to give this up very calmly. >> thank you. let's hear from jeff. >> a series of good questions. on the electoral question, it's conceivable they could each get 269 votes, one short of the required 270. there are various scenarios where clinton only takes the northern swing states or limited success outside florida. formally the event of tie the election goes to the

won the electoral college.ost: aside from the popular vote, you say that the simple victory does not give him a mandate? caller: no. not a strong mandate. the other reason he does not have a strong mandate is his his are constantly changing. his facts are changing. his positions change. muslimes he is against immigration, sometimes he is for mexicans paying for the wall, sometimes he is not. he was never specific on his facts. his positions change. they have changed during the transition. of lowtake the fact voter turnout, the fact he lost the popular vote, i don't think -- and -- host: let me stop you there only because pbs newshour took a look at this idea of the turnout and posted a piece on their website, saying that "well mrs. clinton was leading the popular vote by 1.5 million over sunday, she trails president obama in 2012 totals more than 2 million ballots. the number of people who voted for donald trump were just slightly ahead of those who supported mitt romney in 2012. purple statesin like florida an

donald trump has 254 electoral votes. hillary clinton has 218 electoral votes. we are waiting to hear from donald trump, and we know that there is movement among calls, among some news organizations. as i'm sure organizations have their own decision desk teams. where the votes are outstanding, the weight to call the races based on where at the count is right before they take any action. if we knew where the votes were from pennsylvania, we would call pennsylvania. wherever those boats went and decide whether they go to hillary clinton or donald trump. if they go to donald trump, that would give him the presidency on the board. we are not yet there. the counts are made by different mathematicians in different ways. we see the same metrics, we know what is outstanding. we do not know exactly how many votes are remaining. we have a very good idea. we cannot be exact. for instance, if the votes left to come from pennsylvania are from rights in philadelphia, extremely general -- met democratic. no precinct by precinct ho votes. we don't know that. therefore we cannot

the 29 electoral votes. these candidates in the battleground states. we're also getting new information inside the campaigns. first to sara murray whose with the trump campaign. and sara the votes are coming in. neck and neck in north carolina and neck and neck in florida. what are you hearing from the campaign? >> as you know florida is always a source of heartburn but for the trump campaign their particular angst is not knowing how these independent voters are going to shake out tonight. if they are going to lean in favor of donald trump, if they are going the lean if favor of hillary clinton. now i've talked to multiple sources who say they really don't have any information about these independent voters. it's been a struggle to get the kind of resources they need in florida, to get the kind of money they would need to be able to model this independent electorate. so even though donald trump himself has been personally interested in which way the independent voters are learning they just don't have any wa

stop. >> the electoral college is a group of electors elected in the state who will meet in the statesn december 19 and cast their ballots for who they believe should be president, who they believe should be vice president. those ballots get transmitted to washington and they are opened in washington in the senate and the results are read. now, their decision of the exercise on december 19 is a decision of judgment. they are to be people who reflected on all of the issues presented and have to make a decision. and that decision, i think, should be guided by the principles we should all take as uncontested. and that uncontested principle, the idea that vote should count equally, that everybody's vote should count equally in the united states, should have an overwhelming influence on their decision. and what they should do, in my view, is to say, state laws that tell me i have to vote for the winner, even though the "loser" might have gotten 40% of the vote, should not constrain me so that i have to go against this fundamental idea of equality. so i think they should vote in a way that r

is consider the scenario where donald trump has 254 electoral votes. he is ahead in arizona that has # 11 electoral votes that will put him up he's going to get alaska. that's heavily republican. new hampshire would put h himew over the top even without michigan and without minnesota.n so he could lose those and still go to the presidency through new hampshire and don't forget how important those four electoralhe college votes are if al gear had won new hampshire back in 2000 there would not have been theere florida recount. that ends our special election coverage on fox broadcast network. thank you for joining us.

he has 238 electoral votes to her 209 electoral votes approxima. you need 270 to win the white house. iowa, that was not all that unexpected. it's wisconsin and michigan that are very unexpected. >> are we rewriting america's electoral college map tonight? we want know the answer for sometime, but significant as president obama is moving out of the white house, the state that launched his political career just voted for donald trump. now the republican nominee for president and on the verge of being the president-elect of the united states if trend line continues. as we write the history books about the campaign, the fact that iowa switched, there will be criticism of hillary clinton. this is one of the things we'll go through. let's go back to where we were just a moment ago because pennsylvania has joined wisconsin and michigan. >> 11,000 votes. >> as you go through all this, it is stunning when you see what is happening largely in these white working class areas. you're in the vice president's hometown here. it is 50% for hillary clinton. this w

we got the electoral college. each state gets a number of electors sat on their population at the bi estate, california, has 55 electoral votes. the smallest states like wyoming get 3. it takes 272 win. if nobody reaches that number, the next president will be picked by your favorite folks ever, congress. specifically the house of representatives from the top three candidates from the electoral college. each state only gets one vote. now california is more powerful than wyoming and they are the same. the if the house can decide the vice president becomes president and the vice senate at the electoral college deadlocks. that is the electoral college in a nutshell.>> each state gets a number of electors baked -- based on the population. we have a larger group in florida. that makes us a key price for candidates as they reach the magic number of 270. because we are a battleground state, a very close race here in the state of florida. early voting shows a record of more than 6.4 million voters we could surpass totals

>> well, i think the electoral college -- look, i won with the electoral college. >> exactly. but do you think it's rigged? >> yes, some of the election locations are. some of the system is. >> even though you won, you're saying that? >> well, i'm not going to change my mind just because i won. but i would rather see it where you went with simple votes. you know, you get 100 million votes and somebody else gets 90 million votes and you win. there's a reason for doing this, because it brings all the states into play. the electoral college, and there's something very good about that. this is a different system, but i respect it. i do respect the system. >> four years ago, when it appeared that moitt romney migh win the 2012 popular vote but lose the electoral college to president obama, trump tweeted, he lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. we should have a revolution in this country. sounds like bernie sanders. revolution! that tweet was deleted, of course. after that election, trump tweeted this. this election is a total sham and a travesty. we are not a democr

did you think you'd get north of 240 electoral votes? >> we knew there was a path that we had the momentum and you saw the number of people that were coming out and waiting in line in those rallies last couple of days and when you do this and you're this invested, either side, frankly, because i know the clinton campaign would say the same thing, you have to have that hope and have to believe that, but i don't think that i ever thought i'd see a number go north of 279 and states like michigan and some of the counties in wisconsin that went heavily for obama that flipped to trump. so this victory is one that was, you know, up and down the ticket and the trump movement and message really resonated from one coast to another. >> let's talk transition. what happened to governor christie? >> i don't know. i know that obviously, you know, mr. trump has a ton of faith in governor pence. and his connections and his stature in washington. he's been a very successful governor and he'd been a very successful member of the house of representatives an

when you are really voting for electors to support that candidate in the electoral college vote in december. this all happened because the founding fathers couldn't agree. some wanted to see the people vote for president. others wanted congress to chooseism we got the electoral college. each state gets a number of electors set on their population, the biggest state, california, has 55 electoral votes. the smallest states like thing. if nobody reaches that magic number, the next president will be picked by your favorite folks ever, congress. specifically, the house of representatives. they pick from the top 3 candidates from the electoral college, and here is the rub, each state gets only one vote. now california isn't more powerful than wyoming, they are the same. if the house can't decide, the vice president becomes president, the vp, by the way, get s picked by electoral college deadlocks. that is in a nut shell. >> could almost fit tiny brandon rittiman in a nut shul. >>> if you-- shell. >>> if you have your ballot you are likely deciding whether you will vote or not. we invited the trum

michigan and its 16 electoral votes. it's too close to call. 78% of all michigan votes are in and donald trump leads by about a point 1/2. in the state of pennsylvania, where the big democratic machine came out in philadelphia and expected to run away with pennsylvania for hillary clinton. 48.5% for donald trump. 47.9% for hillary clinton. it's less than a point separating tell the. obviously 95% all of precincts if went to hillary clinton, she leads there with 78% of all precincts voting. minnesota still too close to call and here is arizona. 11 electoral votes. donald trump with a lead, a lead that's largerer than the last time we looked up. less than 4 percentage points but with 2/3 ? >>> special election coverage from fox news headquarters in new york. donald trump is 16 points away from 270 electoral votes a of the crucial states is right there in michigan. it is in 77% of the vote has been tabulated and donald trump has pulled -- leading by exactly a point 1/2. now, remember, donald trump has 254 electoral votes. h
