So I'm sitting in Israel and watching the US elections unfold, with all the Israel shopkeepers asking me if I know who won yet and who I voted for...

Have any significant results come in yet? Any links to good exit polls?

No results in yet, and exit polls are under media embargo until 5 PM ET. For updates you can check http://www.slate.com/votecastr.....html, and http://fivethirtyeight.com.

The bad news is is that some places aren't coping with such high turnout and people are going home. Sad

(this was with early voting, hopefully today will be better organised) People shouldn't have to wait hours to vote, that immediately makes it impossible for poorer people to vote.

So according to the Google election results, Trump is leading in Kentucky (no surprise there!) and New Hampshire.

When do the Florida results start coming in?

I live in a both a motor voter state and a vote by mail state. My state which has the same percentage of poverty as AL has (and about the same population), has found that voter participation increases in pockets of poverty with vote by mail. (Both rural and urban populations at or below the federal poverty levels increased their voting by 20%.)
