I suspect that Trump used lots of his money to buy those last minute votes. 
Hillary has been ahead all along until the late hours last night.  That to
me sounds like a fixed election.  I don't care how many electoral votes that
nut has but Hillary had many more individual votes.  She should be the
president.  I am afraid what will happen to all the disabled people with
Trump and all the other republican nuts like him in office.  Trump has
already said he will cancel health care.  He does not believe in any funding
for low income people such as those of us on disability.  We could lose all
the funding and benefits that help those of us who are no longer able to
work due to medical issues or disability.  We will not see any legislation
passed that will improve accessibility for blind people.  I am very
afraid!!!

Good afternoon everyone,

He needs 270 electoral votes to secure the presidency and has them.

I just got one of the newer xfinity remotes where the ok button has ridges
in it and the surrounding arrow keys are indented.  It is possible to vote
with one's money and I expect those with dyslexia are facing similar
problems.  One thing to keep in mind, Trump has to win the Electoral College
vote and failing that he does not become President.  The Electoral College
over-ruled the popular vote in 1984 and 2000 too.  Action happens November
19, 2016 on that front and January 6, 2017 before a joint session of
Congress the actual winners in that contest get announced.

affect the future of product accessibility?  Trump has publicly stated on
the record that he favors less government regulation.  Does this mean that
he will push to repeal the Telecommunications Accessibility Act of 2010 that
mandates that TV sets and cable boxes be made accessible to blind consumers?
Will manufacturers be permitted to introduce ever more inaccessible
electronic products and appliances because  Trumpand the Republican Congress
oppose governmental oversight and regulation? Trump has demonstrated his
disdain for the disabled by publicly mocking a disabled reporter without
apology.  Do we blind consumers now face the prospect of taking a giant leap
backwards in terms of product accessibility?  This is a really frightening
prospect.  Who is going to protect our interests?
