CBS Predicts 341 Electoral Votes for Hillary in Possible ‘Blowout’

[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at CBS This Morning on Tuesday effectively declared the presidential race over, predicting 341 electoral votes for Hillary Clinton in a likely “blowout.” Citing the CBS News battleground tracker, Gayle King marveled, “The way you’ve got this now, 341 electoral votes for Hillary Clinton. You only need 270 to win. That suggests a blowout.” CBS News elections director Anthony Salvanto agreed: “It does at this point. It's not over, but it does. It's even the case where we're starting to see some reliably Republican states places like Georgia and Arizona that just don't vote Democratic have started to get close and Clinton is within striking distance.”
