Not when Clinton will get to 270, but when it becomes mathematically impossible for Trump to win given any sane model.  e.g., if Ohio is called for Clinton, it's over.

We'll know when we see weak numbers for Trump in early Indiana returns.

Will the press release those before the polls actually close?

Early returns from Indiana and Kentucky between 6 and 7 PM EST will indicate whether Trump is under-performing in Republican counties. Early returns from Florida between 7 and 8 PM EST will also be telling. I imagine states like Pennsylvania and Virginia where she is leading will not be called immediately just in case there is some hidden Trump vote, but we should know before 9 PM EST how the two candidates are performing in relation to polling and it will be clear who is going to win unless the race has drastically toghtened.

Problem with VA is that NoVa, especially Fairfax, is really slow to count. It is likely that Trump will have a lead in the state early on in the night.

I'm curious why that is.  It's densely populated and near a global data hub.
