my vote doesn't matter and your vote or not vote doesn't matter. let's agree both are symbolic. you can vote for the candidate you enjoy and feel like you are doing your duty and i don't buy not voting but it's important for me to stand up and remind people what's wrong with voting on the things we do. if there was a referendum on a national haircut and we started having a discussion about whether or not you're going to get the hippie or the marine and people started coming out and saying make your voice heard, don't you believe in democracy, somebody has to stand up and say we do not vote about these things loudly and without shame and honestly. thank you. [applause] thank you to both sides. i will now be asking each side questions. i will alternate from one side to the other. however i will tolerate some impromptu cross-examination and back and forth because i think that's healthy, and i trust my colleagues hear me sufficiently to respect my authority. first question is on the negative side. i can imagine your arguments making the opponents very, very happy. if you don't vote,

your vote doesn't matter my non vote does not matter. you can vote for the candidate that you enjoyed you feel like your doing your duty and i don't. but to remind people if there was a national referendum restarted to have a discussion the people started to come out to say make your voice heard but assigning your yard. someone has to stand up to say we don't post loudly and without shame or honesty. [applause] >> thanks to both sides now alaska each side questions i will alternate from one side to the other i will however will do some impromptu cross-examination to go back and forth fighting colleagues hear me sufficiently to respect my authority laugh laugh so first the negative side. i can imagine your argument to make libertarian is a very happy it is that much less if libertarian so what do you say to that quick. >> if i personally do not vote there is a way to figure how the median voter actually changes. now he tries to convert that into a question of voting matters which we are resisting. that it is not wrong for libertarians to

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 clinton all the sudden has taken a lead, 15,456 vote lead over donald trump, 83% of the vote is in. 13 electoral votes in virginia. hillary clinton ahead there. let's go to georgia. right now, in the state of georgia, almost half of the vote is in, donald trump here, too, he has a very impressive lead, 365,000 vote lead over hillary clinton, 16 important electoral votes at stake in georgia right now. in colorado, 53, more than half of the vote is in, hillary clinton has a lead ben

votes. a huge win in california for hillary clinton. she will also carry hawaii with its four electoral votes. hillary clinton wins in hawaii. donald trump, he also has a win. donald trump will win in idaho with its four electoral votes. another win for donald trump in idaho. all right. let's take a look at the electoral college map now with these oregon and washington state by the way. too early to call, oregon and washington state. now let's take a look at the electoral college map. 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 fire

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 need to be elected president of the united states. you can see the map over there, the blue states are the states that hillary clinton has won. the red states are the states that donald trump has won. all those yellow states, all those yellow states are states where the polls have c

okay. 132,000 votes. now, you just heard talking about broward county, big population center, big democratic county. there is still vote out in broward, especially. let me show you, though, this looks like the early vote that's in. we say only the early vote is in. the total vote for democrats, the problem is that the total vote in this county was about 750,000. so you can do the math. yeah, there is same-day vote out, but same-day vote isn't what it used to be. most of the vote is early vote. we don't know exactly what the turnout is going to be today. they could shatter what they saw in 2012 and squeeze even more out of it, but most of the vote is in there so hillary clinton clearly running at a clip like that, 69% or so give or take is going to make up a lot of ground. there is also, though, outstanding vote in republican areas. i think if i'm seeing this right, the biggest area of the state, the biggest republican area of the state where there's still outstanding vote is right here, marion county. so

democratic votes here. democratic votes in the population center.s this year. going back in time. democratic votes here. democratic votes here. mostly republican up here. was 50-49. four years ago. get ready. 48.9 to 48.2 so far this year. fascinating to watch. the population centers. orange county is orlando. out west tampa, hillsboro county. 53-43. ten points there. -- seven points there. she's running a little ahead in hillsboro. but then it here and you have 49.8% to 46% here as you go out and look at it here. so it is just remarkably tight as we go through. both over 3 million votes now. up to 71%. so the vote count coming in very quickly in florida. that is the biggest lead we've seen in the state so far for hillary clinton. and i'll put the emphasis on "so far" and we'll keep counting. >> a real battle in florida. only moments from the biggest wave of poll closes in the presidential race. counting down to the top of the hour, 8:00 p.m. eastern is when the last polling grounds close in florida, pennsylvania and new hampshire. also in alabama,

he now has 247 votes. hillary clinton has 215 votes.is getting closer and closer to that number of 270. let's do a key race alert right now. all right. let's start off with the states that are still outstanding. we'll start off in michigan where 84% of the vote is now in. trump has a nearly 80,000-vote lead in the state of michigan which right there has 16 electoral votes. michigan, we're waiting for more votes. wisconsin, 89% of the vote is in. trump also has a pretty impressive lead. 86,000 vote-lead over hillary clinton. another 10 electoral votes right there. arizona, 66% of the vote is in. trump has a 62,000-vote lead over hillary clinton. 11 electoral votes at stake in arizona. he is ahead. in pennsylvania he is ahead as well. 97% of the vote is in. that's a healthy number. he is ahead by almost 77,000 votes over hillary clinton. pennsylvania alone has 20 electoral votes. trump is ahead at this late stage right there. let's take a look at the remaining outstanding states. new hampshire 87% of the vote is in. hillary clinton has th

no, to vote you don't get to vote no., people don't use coercive force seems like an argument more about ballot initiatives that we should be making x illegal yes or no, no, we should not make it illegal would not violate my principles, but it does not apply to candidates or anyone who has a chance of winning because they may have some things we think our libertarian, but they will do lots of things better not with like an abdication of force. also, my sense is that people take voting on seriously, so writing in mickey mouse or a pretend candidate or writing in -- >> vermin supreme. >> at least as offensive and offputting as abstaining from voting. >> is it just going to the booth that you require of me to not think i'm a weirdo? i go to the booth and-- >> leave the ballot blank? >> or leave it blank, is that more the better? >> and we have a yes or no and then maybe move on. >> i'm not sure it's a yes or no >> just go to the ballot box and cast a blank ballot to-- to satisfy the requirement? >> benefits signaling. >> the

votes. you need 270 to win the white house. there are yellow states that are outstanding right now. we'll see what happens in those state states. you saw the mood at those respective campaign headquarters, jake. it's a very different mood. >> yeah, her path is narrowing on the board. let's take another look at what's going on with dow futures. the market is now down with dow futures. it's down 4.32%. we should point out after brexit, which is an event that donald trump likes to invoke talking about the unexpected nature of that vote and what was going to happen with his election, after brexit, the dow went down 3.4%. if this holds, this will be the biggest loss since the day after -- since the day trading resumed after 9/11. this is a day that the markets are not particularly enjoying. unsure about the future of the u.s., unsure about the trade deals and the economy of the u.s. >> when people voted to leave the european union, it was a stunning surprise to so many pollsters and others. dana,

every vote counts. >> are you going to vote? >> yes, i am. >> reporter: a message cecil weeks has taken to heart in a surprising way. >> who are you going to vote for? >> jill stein. >> do you support jill stein? >> i support hillary. >> reporter: cecil is putting democracy's most precious gift, >> why are you voting for jill stein? >> i can help third-party supporters legitimize third parties by voting for their candidate in my safe blue state of new york, and they can help me out in a swing state and vote for hillary clinton. >> good spirit and trust? >> reporter: it's called vote swapping with the help of an app called #nevertrump, cecil will vote for jill stein in new york, his swap partner says she'll vote for bigger difference than i than in new york. >> reporter: for the race for the white house neck and neck in some states -- >> a four-point race -- >> reporter: third-party candidates have the potential to sway the outcome. and so vote-swapping options like never trump, trump traders.org, and vote pact.org, help some vot

ballots, early voting, electronic voting, internet voting. the expectation there will be a 100 million americans in line today to cast their votes through machines and on paper. all of that will be known tonight. and we will elect the next president of the united states. 33 members of the u.s. senate, 435 members of the u.s. house of representatives, numerous governors and i think a majority of members of the state legislatures. and on behalf of all that energy and on behalf of ifis i would like to welcome you to our 13th u.s. election program. this program started under my distinguished predecessor, richard suderet in 1992 when the diplomatic community came to him and said, we need somebody to talk to the local election officials so we diplomats can go around and witness american voting. and then in 1994 he had the bright idea of welcoming people from election commissions in parliaments where ifis had projects. and now by 2016, we have no room for diplomats. we have over 200 leaders from election management bodies around the world. we have o

vote. that's why we're seeing so much come in. and neck and neck. it's been going back and forth between clinton and trump. some of the key counties, i mentioned hillsborough county, we don't have anything there yet. miami-dade county, a county that is two-thirds hispanic. obama won it by 25 points back in, four years ago and it's almost exactly the same margin that clinton is winning right now. >> and that's really interesting. the clinton campaign told us that was right on the bubble. they would have to win that by 24%, 25% to have a chance of winning the state. just about right there right now. >> absolutely. and, i mean, it's going back and forth, every minute or so, it goes back and forth. >> i know you are going to keep an eye on that. the polls have closed in the state of ohio. such a key state for so many different election cycles. no republican has ever won the white house without winning the state of ohio. not enough votes in to project what's happening there yet. this is one of d

vote. i would say there are two catholic votes and have been for some time. as hispanic population has grown, it has changed the face of the catholic church. ofk in the 1990's, the ratio white-nonwhite catholics was two to one. what is remarkable about this is while catholics have a lean toward republican candidates, hispanic catholics have become to be supportive of the democratic cap -- democratic candidates. 84% supporting hillary clinton to 12% supporting donald trump. there is this great divide running along ethnic lines within the catholic church. host: what could that mean for next week in the battleground states? mr. jones: where will see this showing up, new battleground states -- arizona, nevada, places where hispanic catholics outnumber white catholics. historically, hispanic catholics -- lower legislation and turnout rates. we will have to wait and see. we have some sense that hispanic registrations are of. robert jones, ceo of the public religion research institute. thank you,

i think voting badly is wrong but voting itself is not wrong. is not voting wrong? >> i don't don't think it's so wrong that we should be publicly shaming people if they choose not to vote, especially if if they're likely to vote to badly. what if your libertarian who wants to influence people, if you want to influence policy outcomes than i think not voting is wrong because you are reducing your influence. your reducing your ability to affect policy outcomes. aaron's answer to the hypothetical question, the woman who hansen the flyers is will you vote for me illustrates why. that was an answer. i think it it is actually correct that you are devoting your career to try to expand human liberty. i think she moved on to the next three voters that you took to get that answer. where as a simple yes, i vote and i care about what you care about would have got you further. >> we are going to ask you to deliver your closing statement and then after that we will close. >> this has been a lot of fun. i want to put out a few closing ideas. first, my entire argument is only an a

voting. and really what's fueling this, honestly somewhat surprising 8% margin for secretary clinton is the fact that she's performing incredibly strongly with registered republican voters. so what we're seeing in this survey is secretary clinton is winning 28% of registered republicans who have already cast a ballot in florida. that's a pretty substantial universe. >> tom, let me stop you right there. you're going to have to say that sentence again, because the political media out there is taking notes right now. that is a stunning figure that you just announced. >> it is. 28% of republican early voters in florida voting for hillary clinton. >> that's right. so this includes voters who have voted by mail, absentee voters who tend to trend more republican and voters who have early voted in person, tend to trend more democratic. but that said, keep in mind, we're talking about only voters who are registered republicans, and 28% of those voters are crossing over and voting for secretary clinton

arizona, 65% of the vote is in. in maine, 76% of the vote is in. that's still considered too close to call. hillary clinton appears to be leading in maine. so it's four electoral votes. arizona, 11. new hampshire, 4 electoral votes. the bigger ones, the double-digits, minnesota, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvani pennsylvania, with pennsylvania being the biggest one there. >> you look at the map with the exception of arizona, longitudinally -- >> got it. >> i cheated myself on a syllable that first time. you could make an argument that it's all up there in the same area. let's take a break, see if we can get any finer reporting on either headquarters. the map has not changed since our call of nevada for hillary clinton. there is trump headquarters. sixth avenue, new york city, the new york hilton hotel. across town, a different picture at the javits center, clinton headquarters. we're back with more right after this. >> we are back. there is clinton headquarters inside the cavernous jacob javits center. much had been made of the fact that the ceiling

voted? >> if someone hasn't voted, no. i think you need to try to make that distinction and it's going to court, it should be litigate there had and we'll see. if you're alive and well, you should be able to vote. there's no doubt about it. but to the democrats' point that this is voter suppression that's keeping black voters from turning out, it just doesn't bear out in the numbers. look at florida where they expanded early voting days, expanded. but despite that, the black vote is still down 10% in early voting. that's not north carolina. there's no suppression effort going on in florida. >> oh, there is. i'll tell you about it. >> it's not going on in florida. this is analogous to the claim when donald trump said the election's rigged, we saw the video from james o'keefe, it's rigged, you know, you guys said, you're just saying that because you're down in the polls. i just think you're saying this because you're down in the polls. there's no voter suppression. >> what we said earlier, and

you can tweet i voted.. my vote 2016... or election day.. to unlock the special ballot box donald trump tweeted earlier this morning-- today we make america great again... hillary clinton tweeted "don't stand still, vote today. both candidates have fought hard for your vote... fox news' lauren blanchard joins us now from new york with how both campaigns wrapped up. trump says: "and massachusetts is trump says: "and massachusetts is represented by pocahontas, right?" / "oh, she's terrible." donald trump making controversial comments about democratic senator elizabeth warren... while in new hampshire yesterday. obama says: "anyone who sees women as objects, minorities and immigrants as inferior, other faiths as presumptively un- american cannot hearted country that we love." trump is on the offense... with both candidates campaigning in the historically democratic states of pennsylvania and michigan. williams says: "they are thinking about holding that so called blue wall, which is states that have traditionally voted democratic." hillary clin

they have seen with the votes are and where the votes aren't. they are making decisions based on their metrics. the box news channel, the fox business networks, fox news radio, foxnews.com have not the electoral votes should be given to donald trump or hillary clinton. we are frankly not there yet. we will get there eventually, the numbers will find their place. we will find out who the votes belong to. who will have them, then we will get them to them. findot belong to. who will have them, then we will get them to them. that will be that. we're not there yet. >> trump could speak before we have the numbers. it really sounds from the clinton campaign like they are going to be recounts. it's going to drag this out. >> they are going to sleep on it. >> like you said. it makes for an awkward week. trump can try to tie it up tonight. unless he gets a solid numbers, he can't accept victory. things about how it looks like he is going to continue running. >> you want to bet? speak on sure he will say hillary is asleep. he loves to say that. >> he does

you voted trump. if you didn't vote, you voted trump. so, scott and norah, just a sampling of some of the reactions that we're seeing right now over social media. >> all right, elaine quijano. we are waiting on calls in a going to decide this election. john, what state are you looking at? >> remember when i was talking about lebanon county being out, meaning the votes had not been counted yet there in pennsylvania. it was once a 2,000-person race. donald trump was ahead by 2,000 votes. he's now ahead by 26,000 votes. lebanon has come in. >> pelley: he is beginning to pull away, john, as you say in pennsylvania. and he is now leading in the remaining five states. he only needs two or three to win the presidency tonight. and we will be following that for you, and we will break in at any moment that we are able to make an estimate about one of these remaining states. but in the meantime, russia has come up again and again in this campaign. the clinton campaign accusing russia of hacking their democratic national can committee e-mails and th

i voted. i finally voted. it was really good. >> it makes me so happy to see these young people have the motivation to get out and vote. because they are our future. >> teachers and volunteers helped register 70 students develop. they hope it will inspire teens to make their voices heard for years to come. >>> with just six days before election day, both candidates will tell you every vote counts. the push to get the millennial vote is perhaps more intense than ever. we caught up with some young voters out to support hillary clinton. >> we are proud that they are out exercising their rights to vote. they're getting involved in the process. you can't ask for anything better than that. to reach out to young voters. i can you had a chance to meet hillary clinton before the rally. >> she has the apathetic millennials of people that there of decision will affect them. you have people, what a time to be alive and be in college. >> to the time when there's so much information that can sometimes leave voters confused.

latinos have typically vote less than other democratic votes. 48% of latinos turn out to vote, compared to 64% of white voters. there are signs that may be changing, in a number of -- as of november 1, latinos made up 13.77%, of early voting in florida, a critical state for trump. it's possible those votes draw from the same pool of people that usually vote on election day. the possibility is they're just voting early instead of adding to the elect terror at the. of course steve schale, on thursday alone, 82.5% of early voters are considered low propensity voters, those are people who may not have voted in the last political elections, who may have been excluded from florida voting. this man has done polling, senior political analyst for 538, matt, let me start with you. two states where we have got a lot of early voting. nevada and florida. it seems like we're seeing similar trends in both those states when you compare what the numbers say in early votes, versus let's say a model or polling would predict about the composition of the electorate. spell it out for us. >> we're seeing far

a market, a latino market in las hours to vote to cast a vote. we saw a really strong ground game from the clinton campaign in states like nevada and one number that jumps out at me as we headed into election day, the clinton campaign says early voting started, knocked on and made phone calls, they contacted 45 million people. this is a well oiled very well paid for machine that they've got going into this election day and they're banking on that right now. especially in states like nevada. >> bankingn in florida, but boy -- >> i don't know, george. look at this. it's still very close. donald trump with 130,000-plus vote lead and i've been talking a lot about broward county, just north of miami. look what's happening there. 98% of the vote is in. and donald trump still has a big lead in the state of florida. it looks to me like he is trending towards winning the state of florida. >> tom llamas, what are they saying in the trump war room? the trump campaign is sending out more and more photos of thumb's up, donald trump smiling inside that room. i

so vote yes on 55.t helps our children thrive. >>> in the next few hours, we know that in early voting turnout there's high numbers in many states. >> our early voting numbers show that voting among hiss pan irks in florida up 89%. what's motivating them. >> it's more than 89%. if you include those who voted absentee ballot, it's over 120%. what's motivating them, you've been hearing it all night on your show. it's the trump effect. it's knowing when you get attacked, you have a powerful weapon to defend yourself, that's one of the things that's been motivating latinos, to become citizens, to register to vote and actually show up at the polls, that's what we've seen today in florida and nevada, all over the country. now we have to wait and see what's happening tomorrow. >> if you talk to a trump surrogate or even donald trump, they will tell you, and he will tell you, he believes hispanics are going to come out to support him tomorrow and are supporting him in early voting. >> let me tell you, i think t

the white vote made up 70% of the voting bloc. 16 present voted for mr. trump. 34% and 63% ofup them voted for donald trump. white women voting for donald trump. vote.p 37% of the -- they made up 37% of the vote. the young white vote split between hillary clinton and donald trump. educated white and non-college-educated whites, most going for mr. trump as well. there is this headline from "the washing post" that white evangelicals voted overwhelmingly for donald trump. voters voted for a high percentage for donald trump. the most they have voted for republican presidential candidate since 2004 when they chose resident george w. bush by a margin of 78%. their support for mr. trump will likely be as part of the reason the candidate performed unexpectedly well in tuesday's election. called at 2:30 a.m. eastern time for mr. trump when the associated press called it. look at past victories times.ion speeches start donald trump speaking earlier this morning. mr. romney after that race spoke around 1:00 a.m. president obama followed him and spoke closer to 2:00

a record number of americans have already voted more than 25 million votes. twice as many vote also as this time in the last presidential election. our battleground map shows clinton with 274 electoral votes in her column. that's more than the 270 needed of course. and donald trump is at 180. our political editor mark murray will be back with me to talk about the changes in the map you see on your screen. a new polls out this morning shows a dead heat nationally. hillary clinton and donald trump tied at 46%. after trump had a one-point lead in that same poll yesterday. they're now back neck and neck. today's poll was taken entirely after friday's surprise announcement from fbi director james comey about those e-mails discovered on a computer belonging to former congressman anthony wiener. here's where the candidates and their surrogates are today. donald trump will hold three rallies today in florida where the latest polls show, as i mentioned that dead heat. hillary clinton has events in arizona. trump's running mate pence in arizona, new mexico and colorado

a vote is a vote. if a bunch of people turn out because they hate donald trump, they're still turning out and casting bol on thes. a latinos, if they're turning out in florida, then that's a great sign for secretary clinton. >> what state are you looking at, mark? >> north carolina and not just because you're from there. it's closer than a lot of people thought. hillary clinton seems like a go ahead chance to win there. african vote seems a little down >> back to you. >> very interesting and coming up, two more battleground states close at the bottom of the hour. ohio and north carolina. two states that trump's own campaign says they must win. cbs news of the 2016 election continues in a moment. ent. ent. el back now with election night on cbs and we'll bring you any developments the moment that they happen. in the meantime, we're talking to voters across the country as they left the poll today. we've been compiling that exit information and anthony mason is sorting through that. >> the two major party

"now it becomes a guessing game as to how badly the market will be hit in the morning." anti-trump demonstrators rallying at the white house... stunned: "certainly disappointed about the results him and we're still hopeful for something better." exit polls tell an interesting story: the rural vote - white voters without college degrees - largely underestimated, as the vote count continues. tracie potts, nbc news, new york for president elect trump will be presiding over a severely divided nation in desperate need of reconciliation. it's something he did talk about in his vic

first come is voting the wrong d the answer is no, voting badly is wrong but voting itself is not. is not voting wrong? i don't think that it's that we should be publicly shaming people if they choose not to vote but if you are a libertarian who wants to influence people and policy outcomes then yes it's gone because you are reducing your influence. your reducing your ability to affect policy outcomes and i think the answer to my hypothetical question the woman attends him to fly you and says will you vote for me illustrates why because that was a cogent answer and i think it's actually correct that you are devoting your career to try to expand human liberty. but i think she moved onto the next three voters in the time you took to get the answer whereas a simple yes, i wrote and i care about what you cared aboucareabout would have gottena lot farther. >> we are going to ask you now to deliver your closing statement and then we will close. >> this has been a lot of fun. i want to put out a few ideas. the argument is only for lying about voting and not voting so if you combine both o

voting machines.s shouldn't affect the tabulation, we're told, but when people arrive, how they're checked in. they've switched to these polling books which sound exactly like what they are. books with the names and lists of voters in that precinct and their names can be checked off when they show up. we've heard from the president of the state branch of the naacp, dr. william barber, this created long lines in durham county and some walked away. the naacp has attorneys, lawyers watching this and asking that justice department monitors in north carolina but in other counties to come to durham, to durham county making sure voters are able to vote. why is durham so important here? we know out of the 230,000 or so registered voters there, democrats outnumber republicans about 5-1. so that's why we know that they're watching closely here. in wake county, at this precinct, 1310, the shortest we've seen the line all day, with just a few people in line, but there had been hundreds of people with more than an

my first times voting and i am so excited to vote. host: have you voted yet or will you vote today?aller: i am actually on my way to vote. and i wanted to make this call before i headed to vote. host: tell us about why you are voting. caller: i'm going because i would like to make a statement. a strong statement that clinton is the most qualified to lead america. host: what convinced you that she is the most qualified? caller: she is the most qualified because i have followed all the rallies and the events. i've heard her speak. i see the intelligence in her. she is composed. she has the experience. is, above all, very brilliant. i support her. and she is a woman. i am a woman. she has withstood all the challenges and insults from trump. i believe that if she is still standing now then she is a strong candidate. i really think that also, whatever i can do to stop trump, i will do that. because trump is not an option. he has no substance. he has no temperament. he does not know anything about government. i'm afraid there might be a world war if trump gets into the office. and that is

of the vote, 84% of the vote in-- or more, i can't see that far-- based on my computer, 90% of the vote in, it is neck and neck, according to what i'm seeing. we're talking about a vote difference of just about 10,000. >> pelley: out of five million cast. >> out of five million cast. >> yeah, and she had been ahead in the numbers. so this is-- if you're a clinton person watching this, the now, there's still some out in bucks county, which is a county that can bring in some more votes. but you're not-- you want the numbers t to be going in the otr direction. >> one of the big surprises of the night is wisconsin. >> pelley: absolutely, and anthony mason is looking at the exit poll information that we've accumulated in wisconsin. anthony, what is it telling us? >> yes, scott, disappointing trends for democrats in wisconsin. first among young people. hillary clinton is winning young people, 46% to 39%. but four years 60% of young people in wisconsin. as you can see, 11% of this has bled to third-party candidates, but a serious underperform asbestos here by hillary clinton among young voters
