TransGriot 2016 Presidential Electoral Vote Map Prediction

Since I'm the 2016 Netroots Nation Pundit Cup champion, I've been getting asked by many of my readers since I correctly called the Democratic presidential primary race back in February, what's my opinion concerning who is going to win the presidential election?

Before we get to that, I encourage you, especially if you're in the TBLGQ community or an ally or friend to us and love this country, to not only get registered to vote in your state or territory, but participate on Election Day by voting the entire ballot from president to dog catcher.

Here are the 2016 election deadlines for getting registered for the November 8 election in your state or territory.

The interactive map is courtesy of 270ToWin, so if you wish to play with scenarios of your own, you can go to their site and play with the maps.

And now, the TransGriot 2016 Presidential Electoral Map Prediction.   This is what I believe will happen on November 8.

I'm predicting Hillary Clinton will become our first female president in an electoral blowout .

Obama Landslide?

Thanks to record breaking early voting turnout and historic turnouts of African-American voters, this election is turning quite interesting. Obama is competitive in states that haven't voted Democratic in decades and this election is being played save Pennsylvania on GOP turf.

If you're stressing out because this historically pivotal election is agonizingly closer than it should be, you can play with this interactive electoral college map created by the Washington Post peeps to ease your mind.

The map here on TransGriot is set to a scenario in which Obama wins Virginia and Indiana. I believe the African-American vote in Indiana will be the deciding factor there and in Virginia.
