Was a reason ever given for why Hillary canceled the fireworks last night?

The word came out about mid-afternoon on the day before the election that the fireworks show as part of her victory celebration was canceled.

Has anyone here seen the explanation why? Did she know in advance that her chance of winning was nil?

They pretty much knew the results around 11 AM EST yesterday.

I'm just guessing but it might be that some private group internal polling, such as the Trafalgar Group, was completed early yesterday and showed her to be in very, very big trouble.

I'm still wondering about this. My first thought was that she is seeing internal polling and didn't want to look like an idiot by setting off this huge fireworks display while losing.

But, everything I've seen today says that they were EXTREMELY confident all day that they were going to win. Even their exit polling was suggesting that it was going to be a sHitlary blowout.

So, I'm still left wondering why it was cancelled on Monday.

Just a guess, maybe security.

I think they had very precise internal polling that it wasn't a sure thing and certainly wasn't going to be over early.

It was crazy how someone like Sean Trende from RCP was ready to call it for her after IN. Sabato said this morning that the polls indicated it wasn't close, both public and private.
