Could third-party voters have swung Florida for Clinton?published at 05:02 Greenwich Mean Time 9 November 2016
According to the latest reports, Trump won the state of Florida by about 130,000 votes. At the same time, votes for third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein topped 260,000.
It’s impossible to say how those voters might have cast their ballot were Johnson and Stein not in the race, but some “protest voters” might be questioning their choices now – just as thousands of Brexit voters did.

Clinton 'the devil you know', Trump 'the great unknown'published at 04:56 Greenwich Mean Time 9 November 2016
The BBC's Asia Business Correspondent Karishma Vaswani says:
"A Clinton victory is seen as broadly positive for Asia because, as one trader told me, it’s very much the case of 'the devil that you know'. As secretary of state she has travelled out here before. Meanwhile Trump is the great unknown, prompting great uncertainty with moves such as calling for a tariff on Chinese imports. That has concerned Asian investors."

Donald Trump is projected to win Utah, ABC News reports.
Third-party candidate Evan McMullin tried desperately to win the Western state, running as an anti-Trump conservative.
Utah saw the largest Republican margin of victory in any state in 2012, with Mitt Romney winning nearly three-quarters of the vote - mainly due to the state's large population of members of the Mormon faith.
