I'm calling this early, but Florida just got tight. In 2012, St. Lucie Countie went +9,000 votes for Obama. At 96.9% reporting, it's currently sitting at +4,000 Trump.

Indiana is a GOP hold for the Senate, which hurts the Dem's chances.

And a 30k swing to Trump in Brevard, Florida (+20k Trump, -10k Clinton). Definitely getting exciting.

There is a silver lining into this.

It means that our state is showing signs of breaking the solid Republican narrative.

I am fine with it being this closely contested. Usually you hear from people it having no chance at turning blue.

At 90% reporting, Clinton is 70,000 above Obama's 2012 total in Miami-Dade. Trump is yet to beat Romney's total.
