My watch indicates that it is barely 8:00 p.m. back east. How do the polls close and the next minute the vote is counted? Actually a couple of minutes before 8:00 p.m.

yes, but if the line goes out the door, they don't stop taking votes until 10 pm or later, if people are still in line.

Plus, even with the electronic, it STILL takes another hour for the workers to post the numbers on the door, when NBC will get it from poll workers.

It's still a couple of hours plus before the polls close in Oregon.

Right at this moment I am calling folks to remind them to get their ballots in if they haven't already done so. The amazing thing is how many people say they voted until you question them about how they sent it in. Did anyone watch Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. He was interviewing people on the street who claimed they voted at the polls last night even though they weren't even open. People are so funny and such liars sometimes.

It's fascinating to watch MSNBC for 15 minutes, then FOX for 15 minutes.  back and forth.

FOX continually talking about the populat vote.   MSN continually addressing the electoral votes.

My *GUESS* is that since they know way more than we do about the numbers - romney is leading in popular, and with Mich/Penn, Obama probably has electoral vote?

You watching the RCP map? Its close as fuck in all the battleground states. Ohio looks like it may go for Obama though.

I don't look at popular vote because California is on the other side and the Southern States like Texas finish first

I suspect you are right about this. It is going to be a bumpy night. Gotta go now. -Off to the Democratic election night event. Time to log out and get real.

the path for a romney win is getting thinner and thinner.   He can still get florida - however, all the folks i'm talking to on F or text that are still in line aren't romney voters.  Yes, they're still in line - been in the dark with mosquitoes for 2 hours and 20 minutes now since polls closed + however long they were there before then.  Crazy.

I know. That shit is nuts.

It's stayed within a few hundred votes out of millions.

Unreal.

Romney's been trending up in Florida.. Its tied now. Romney was down a few percentage points just 20 minutes ago.
Looks like he's going to take Virginia and NC as well, all though I think that was expected.

2 things i saw today -

voter enthusiasm seemed HIGHER than in 2008.   Seriously.

Also, the lines were WAY longer today.   I dont know if it was purposeful or just plain incompetence, but it was raining hard today, and there was 1 of 4 scanner working, with a 3 hours line in most SW FL (mccain 55% last time) areas.

Ohio definitely looks like an Obama Win.  He's ahead by 150,000 votes...very hard to overcome that deficit.....if that's the case, then there is no way Romney can win...even with Florida and Virginia

Obama up by a meager 15k votes in Florida...

BUT...........

There are one million uncounted votes from miami/broward county.  Dems are celebrating quietly now, since these counties always go heavy Dem.
Title: Re: First States Come In
Post by: 240 is Back on November 06, 2012, 07:00:56 PM
Iowa is too close to call.

Romney wins Utah, montana.

romney has a very good NC lead... 15k votes.

Romney leading Arizona.   Obama leading minnesota big, too early to call.

missoura, romney gonna win, he's up 15 points.
