For everyone that is paying attention to the US election but isn’t familiar with US demographics and our elections just a couple of things to keep in mind:

- Poll results trickle in slowly, especially at the beginning, and those first few percentages are typically from rural areas that have lower voter numbers. So do not work yourself up over states results when they are only reporting low low percentages. Start paying attention when the city centers and populated areas start reporting.

- Expect the midwestern flyover states to be Republican.  And don’t be shocked when they are.

- The map is bluer on the two coasts.

- The popular vote is great and all but the electoral college is what matters. 

- The states that really matter right now are Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, Maine.
