538 polls model gives Clinton an 82% probability of winning, BUT.....

(((Harry Enten))) ‏@ForecasterEnten 1h
FWIW, we have Clinton winning in 95% of our simulations right now if she wins in Nevada.

This is really interesting. She is going to win NV unless a miracle occurs in last week of early voting.

Neo-Nazi cowards hiding behind Twitter accounts have used that symbol — called "echoes" — in the past two years as a way to identify Jews on the internet, so that their hateful flock know who to attack. For a long time, those "echoes" remained a baffling detail in endless streams of disgusting messages.

But after a story from Mic last week, the secret is finally out — and the rest of us are fighting back. Throughout June, countless Twitter users — including myself and several others at the Daily News — have added the echoes to their own Twitter names.

The sudden co-opting of the symbol on Twitter is a form of protest — a way for the rest of us to tell the web's worst haters: We know what you're doing. Now the joke's on you.
