Clinton vs Trump: States to watch on November 8...
Five battleground states are key to watch as US election results start trickling in on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, November 8 (November 9 in Malaysia), Americans will decide whether Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton will be handed the keys to the White House.
The first polls will close at 6pm EST in Indiana and Kentucky and the last, in Alaska, at 1am EST. In between, results will trickle in, state by state.
Key states to watch:
Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia.
If Trump wins three of these five states, it will be an early indication that we're in for a long night on Tuesday. If he wins four or five, then Clinton is in big, big trouble.
If Clinton wins three of these five states, she's in good shape as the midwestern USA polls close. If she wins four or five, she will almost certainly win the election.
Why?
First, and most importantly, these states are all in the eastern time zone of the US which means their polling places close among the first. They will be early indicators of which way the election is going before the other polls close.
Second, they collectively have a lot of electoral votes and have gone in both directions over the past 30 years.
Remember, the winner of this election is not the one who wins the popular vote. It's the candidate that wins the most electoral votes. You can do your own electoral vote math at 270towin.com
Other states to watch: Maine, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa and Nevada. Races are close in all these places and if the electoral vote count is tight, the candidates will need these states. Arizona, with 11 electoral votes, could be key.
Not a close race:
Here are the states expected to be no contest (which means the electoral votes are a given):
For Trump: South Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana, West Virginia, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska.
Georgia and Texas are closer races than Republicans would like but it's doubtful they'll go Democrat and the fact Clinton has spent no time there means she knows it, too.
For Clinton: Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Illinois, Minnesota, California, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico and Hawaii.
Wild card: Utah. It could be the only state that goes for a third-party candidate and that would most likely benefit Clinton since Utah is traditionally a Republican state.
Each state is allotted electoral votes based on the number of representatives in Congress.
The candidate who wins the state's popular vote, wins all the state's electoral votes.
The winner needs a total of 270 electoral votes to earn the presidency. - Chris

Roughly stating, the number of electoral college votes from each of the states depends upon the population of the state. The American government is made up of an upper house (the Senate) and a lower house (the House of Representatives). The number of electors each state gets is equal to the number of representatives from the state in the Senate plus the number of representatives in the lower house. Each state gets two representatives in the Senate and the number of representatives in the house of representatives depends upon the population.
Each of the states are given a choice to determine a method of choosing the electors. At present, 48 out of 50 states go with the ‘winner takes it all’ method. This means whichever party gets the maximum number of votes in the state is declared to win all the allotted seats in the state. - indianexpress.com
Vote with history in mind
Samuel Goh Sze-Wei, a prosecution witness in the ongoing trial of ex-BSI wealth planner Yeo Jiawei, received some US$4 million in fees, for playing the role of an intermediary, the court heard earlier today.
Cross-examined in this morning, Goh was described by Yeo’s lawyer Philip Fong that he was an active participant in the structures created with Yeo, which has siphoned money from BSI clients including Brazen Sky, a subsidiary of 1MDB.
Throughout the proceedings, Goh has maintained that he merely took instructions from Yeo. “I act as his nominee, I acted on his instructions.”
Yeo is on trial for four charges of obstructing the course of justice. He is alleged to have asked Goh, as well as Yeo’s own former supervisor at BSI, Kevin Swampillai, to concoct a fake story when asked by investigators about the fund flows. Yeo faces seven other charges of money laundering, which will be heard next April. Continue reading...
