Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says election night could be "very short" if Donald Trump carries North Carolina, Florida and Michigan.
"If Trump carries New Hampshire, it's game on," Gingrich said on Tuesday's 'Fox & Friends.' "At that point, if I were Hillary and her team, I will be very, very worried."
"We're really in for a long night unless, as the poll that came out this morning suggests, he carries Michigan, in which case we're in for a very short night because at that point it will be very clear that Donald Trump is the next president," Gingrich said....

And, please do your best to encourage likely Trump voters to stay in line with you.
THIS!!
IGNORE THE MEDIA AND VOTE TRUMP!!
Donald Trump needs a MANDATE VOTE. DO NOT walk away thinking it is in the bag!
It’s all about Michigan, of the 3 states Newt referenced.
If Trump loses EITHER Florida or North Carolina it’s also going to be a short night and a very bad one. There’s no even semi-realistic way to 270 without them.
I am going to go with the knowledgeable people here and say that Trump is not losing FL or NC (or OH or IA or AZ).
Man, I hope we can pull some big swing states. I remember having false hope with Mittens back in 2012. I hope Michigan can start a republican landslide
Is that to say that those not in line at the precise closing time are prohibited from voting? Apparently not in NV. So it may be state-to-state? The not-in-line metric provides wiggle room, imho. I have not heard of any polls turning away voters who show up “late”.
Haven't been hearing about MI the last couple of hours. Was this wishful thinking from the Trump campaign? I really want this to happen.
I'm not sure if it was this thread, but another FReeper who was a poll watcher in Arkansas told his story.
Every voter that arrived after the closing time was challenged. Under the law, the ballot apparently has to be set aside. In the ensuing court case, the judge threw out the challenged ballots.
It was enough to change the outcome of some local races.
Good news!
thank goodness we broke thru the blue wall in the midwest
Well I guess Newts’ batting .500 now...so, if you were this cautious\doubtful on the afternoon of election day, I guess election night was even worse due to the fact of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, etc., all being called so late in the night :)
