The road to 270, Hillary just hit 273!

What's changed?

- New Hampshire (4 electoral votes) moves from "battleground" to "lean Democrat"

- Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes) moves from "battleground" to "lean Democrat"

- Virginia (13 electoral votes) moves from "battleground" to "lean Democrat"

That adds 37 more electoral votes to Clinton's total and puts her at 273 electoral votes -- just ahead of the needed 270 electoral votes to win the White House.

8. ? Electoral votes vs Polls

I don't know how there is such a dichotomy between her lead in individual states and the reporting on the polls "tightening." Who ae the pollsters polling? If more women, and both male & female African Americans and Hispanics are expected to vote for Hillary than Trump, then how are the polls tight???
Can anyone explain this? The positive electoral votes count vs the tight polls.
