Anxious Americans have been refreshing FiveThirtyEight, The Upshot, and other websites that analyze the polls, looking for insight into whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. But what if the answer everyone has been looking for has really been hiding on Lindsay Lohan's Twitter?

On Tuesday afternoon, the actress posted a simple tweet: "Heart for Hillary or retweet for Trump!" An hour or so later, the tweet was liked 4,617 times and retweeted 398 times, which probably won't make any Clinton fans breathe a sigh of relief, but could be a sign that Lohan is on the path to becoming a professional pollster.
