The New York Times currently projects a greater than 95 percent chance that Donald Trump will win the presidency, so of course things are a little glum at Hillary Clinton’s party inside New York City’s Javits Center.

You think that’s bad? Check out the filing room, where the reporters are stuck writing up the night’s events.
Things getting weird in the bowels of the Javits Center. Overheard a security guard in prayer.
Also, Debra Messing just walked by.

Eerie silence in press room at Javits center. Clinton is in Times Square with family. Radio silence from her. #buvote16

“Hey, maybe we should put on Fight Song …” said the campaign intern who was never seen or heard from again.

The night wasn’t a complete downer.
CNN announced that Clinton has pulled ahead in Virginia count. Cheers and a shout of "yes!" from several journalists in Javits filing room.

Umm …
The in-house vid they're running right now at Javits ends w/ a chant: "I believe that she will win." Wonder how that's playing upstairs.
