So what time will the election be called for Hillary?

[Lisa0825]

Give your guess with time zone!

[madaboutharry]

1. 10:00 pm

I think they will call it when polls close on the west coast.

[Lithos]

23. Depends on the channel

CBS/ABC will be first at 10, followed by CNN and Faux in that order, up to 10-15 minutes later.

2. Given the attitude on the cable news

pretty sure that's already happened.

Oh, you meant "officially"

[Historic NY]

3. I'd like it to go to California so it prolongs his misery...

[Siwsan]

20. I want him in a state of increasing rage and humiliation, for as long as possible

And if he does do a concession speech, I hope he's heavily medicated when he does. Of course, that might be the ONLY way the will be able to get him to give one.

[getagrip_already]

4. the networks won't call it until the left coast closes.....

but it will be obvious by 9:00

[SummerSnow]

5. 11:15 pm est

25. ^^^ this ^^^

[MyNameGoesHere]

44. 10:12 UTC - 6

That's 10:12 Central

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

46. My thought too

8:15 Pacific time. 15 minutes after polls close on the west coast.

[Buzz Clik]

52. Ibid

[Shrike47]

6. 6:15 Pacific time.

[jehop61]

7. From your lips

To Gods ears!

[vdogg]

8. 11.

[drray23]

11. Shortly after 11pm eastern

When the west coast votes come in and seal the deal.

[Siwsan]

13. Eastern time zone, here. Hopefully no later than 11:45

The west coast will be done voting and the results should be pouring in. If it isn't called by midnight, the bubbly is going back into the fridge and the Old Overholt will be transitioning from the bar cart.

It seems to me that the 2008 was declared before midnight and the 2012 just after, but I'm getting old and confused so I might be misremembering.

[onehandle]

15. Dunno about the 'professionals,' but I called it the day Obama named her SoS. nt

[Kber]

21. Perfect!

[geek tragedy]

16. 11:01 PM Eastern time nt

[Osakagreg]

17. As early as possible! A sweep to 270 would be awesome!

[NJRick1006]

19. 11:15 est

No later than 11:15 EST; as soon as polls Washington, Oregon, and California. It would be amazing, and a landslide, if Hillary has 270 EVs when states in the Central time zone close.

We're stocking up on beer and wine to party for the rest of the week!!

[MineralMan]

22. Just after 11 PM EST. They'll call

CA, OR and WA as soon as the polls close. In all scenarios, that should do it for Hillary. She'll have well over 270 EV at that time with those state's electors, so everyone will call the election.

There will still be states that are too close to call, but it wont matter. She'll be over the top with those three called and the total EV can come the next day.

That's my guess. I plan to shut everything off and go to sleep at 10:05 CST, frankly. That's my normal time to go to sleep, so my schedule won't be interrupted.

[MoonRiver]

34. 10:05, not 10:00?

10:00 is my regular bedtime, but wondering about the additional 5 minutes.

Btw, I think I will stay up until it's called, just this once, lol.

[Garrett78]

24. When California is called, unless she somehow manages to reach 270 before then.

Practically speaking, we'll know it's over when Florida or North Carolina or Ohio is called for Clinton. New Hampshire isn't substantial enough, but any one of those other three will do the trick.

[Agnosticsherbet]

27. 8 pm, Pacific Standard Time. They will not call it before California's polls close.

Technically, they should not called it before 6 PM Hawaiian Time.

[Andy823]

49. I agree. nt

[napi21]

28. Whatever time the last pollling place closes on the West Coast. nt

[bmpbmp]

30. 11:00:05, Polls close in Cali and others.

[zipplewrath]

33. Wide open

Once she hits 270, they have to call it. The only question is how well she does in the East. It could be over by 9 est but only if she does well in Ohio, NC, Fla, etc. Otherwise it starts to move well west waiting for CA, WA, etc. Texas could move things a bit if she were to get that one. But by 11, it should be over.

[Rex]

35. Within a few hours, a huge number of people already voted.

It will be obvious she is going to win within a few hours.

[fun n serious]

36. 7:01 pm PST

[bbrady42]

39. Unofficially, if North Carolina or Florida is called for Hillary.

Officially, at 11:00:05, when the west coast states are called.

[brooklynite]

41. If GA or MO flips, you might get a call with the 10 PM close...

Otherwise it's still likely to be 11 PM.

[AmericanActivist]

42. 10:15 EST nm

[Buckeye_Democrat]

43. Shortly after 11 pm EST, after the West Coast polls close.

I'll say 11:04 pm EST.

[Raine]

45. 8:01 pacific time

1minute after our polls here in CA close!

[rug]

48. In about five minutes, right after the applause for Obama's speech dies down.

[iandhr]

51. Don't jinx it.

53. I have to open my bubbly

And go to work the next day, so the earlier the better.

[marigold20]

54. 11:00 EST

I think (hope) it will be obvious after 9:00 but they will wait for the West Coast polls to close. I'll be at a meeting, checking my phone for results all evening.
