While it is clear that Donald Trump has won more states than Hillary Clinton, and has captured the electoral college, a plurality of Americans voted for Hillary Clinton over our president-elect Donald Trump. As the final votes keep trickling in, Clinton is ahead of Trump by just under 200,000 votes.

Democrats are feeling pretty good about their chances, considering the overall early voting landscape. Over 46 million American have already voted, which could be up to one-third of the total vote. The major trends are a much more diverse electorate, and strong Hispanic turnout in Florida and Nevada. That's two data points that favor Hillary Clinton.

The 2000 election took over one month to be finalized, and John Kerry waited until the day after the election to concede to George W. Bush. McCain conceded his presidential bid at 11:20 p.m. on Election Day, shortly after networks called the race for Obama. In 2012, Romney delivered his concession speech around 1 a.m. the night of the election. It’s hard to guess when, or whether, the loser will concede tonight.

At the tail end of a rally in Reno, Nevada, on Saturday, Donald Trump was abruptly rushed off-stage by Secret Service agents after “gun” was yelled from the crowd. What eventually became clear: A Republican anti-Trump protester was holding up a sign and was physically attacked by people around him. Eventually, someone in the crowd yelled that the protester had a gun. Following the incident, no weapon was found.

After throwing a wrench into Clinton’s election plans barely a week before the 2016 election, FBI director James Comey has told Congress that the new emails do not change his initial suggestion: He will not indict Hillary Clinton. The emails appeared to be either duplicates of what the FBI had already looked at or completely unrelated to the investigation.
The Washington Post
A group of congressional members and candidates from both parties filed a federal suit on Friday against the FEC, hoping to force the agency to act on a case brought against 10 super PACs back in July. The “maneuver” is aimed at eliminating the act of unlimited donations. Were the to succeed, the plaintiff's counsel said the goal is: “the death of the super PAC.”

On Thursday, NBC News, ABC News and CNN reported that Fox TV's assertion that a Clinton FBI indictment was likely, was simply not true. Bret Baier had announced on his show Wednesday evening that two sources close to the FBI had told them that the Bureau was close to an indictment. Fox eventually, sort of, retracted the story.
