Some people vote for third parties because they're conservatives who dislike Bush and like Kerry less. Expect a good number of Badnarik votes in Texas.

did he urge you to "hold Vitter back and win it in December"?

more random voting stories from South Carolina: from Vermont: from Indiana: from Alabama: I'm gonna bump my turnout prediction to 118M

Mad Dog, are you from MI or OH? But.. I'd figure the lines would be longer in Ohio.

and more turnout commentary:

Commentary from Florida: from Ohio: from Blue Springs, Missouri: from Michigan: from Massachusetts: from North Texas: from Massachusetts again: from Wisconsin: There's definately a lot of people getting out to vote and there's already a broken voting machine in New Orleans, Louisiana, which might be a state record

We'll how much stuff gets fucked up due to the challengers

I don't think the Ohio Supreme Court can overturn a Federal Court ruling

and I am back from voting (at 6:30 instead of 7:30) instead of voting 'Straight Democrat' (there was an option for that), I choose to just vote for every Democrat by punching out their hole. The old fashioned way. And I changed the order of races, so I punched the ballot for Kerry last. Definately the most useful thing I've ever done before 7am. There was a short line (of 4 people when I entered it) waiting to use one of the 8 stations. We have the punchcard ballots here in Independence, so I made sure to put some force into the action.

I'm going to go to bed, and i'm planning to go vote around 7am CST

That's bullshit. New York better not be one of them You'd think they wouldn't throw out an entire ballot because one race was a blowout.

They're not drunk. Just insomniac geezers. -=Mike being up at midnight doesn't make one an insomniac. Part of the reason for voting early is because some people in New Hampshire have this ego about being the first to do things. Which is why they must hate Iowa

Wonderful indicator there... they've been right on only 1 out of the last 3 elections, including picking dead-last finisher Perot in 1992. well.. this does mean that a draw is out of the question

CNN is kicking some ass with their election results page: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/ IMO.. of course

The article answers all Dixville (13 Republicans, 11 Independents, 2 Democrats) goes 19-7 Bush Hart's Location (10 Republicans, 15 Independents, 6 Democrats) goes 15-15-1

http://www.thewmurchannel.com/politics/3882084/detail.html

Hart's Location, New Hampshire appears to be the 15-15-1 hamlet 2000: 17-13 Bush 1996: 13-12-4 Dole 1992: 15 for Perot, 9 for Bush, 6 for Clinton

I'm thinking that the first report (which came from Ron Reagan) may be a bit off. I'm hearing it's more around 19-7 Bush. I'd imagine Bush won't lose Dixville. They're big Dick Cheney backers.

Don't worry.. Dixville may not mean much. Previous Dixville results 1996: 18-8 Dole 1992: 15 for Bush, 8 for Perot, 2 for Clinton and one source is claiming that the results may be a bit closer to a Bush win

I don't think anybody or any race will top 90% such as? Just curious.. I'd say it's "motivation" and not purely rage. There's angry people, but there's also people who are motivated to get out and vote

It appears some people are in a hurry. And New Hampshire has a massive ego about this "Vote First" thing. Dixville results from 2000 Bush - 21 Gore - 5 Nader - 1

Nobody's going to top what Gore did in 2000. The exit polls said that Gore won African-Americans by a 90-9 margin. But I'd imagine the polling is a bit off and I expect Kerry to take around 86% or so of the African-American vote.

Is there anything to be taken from Bush managing draws in polls where Republicans make up 40% of the sample? How large do you see the turnout getting? I'm gonna say maybe 116M

Oh fuck.. not Frank Luntz! I have an urge to slap him around when I see him on TV. I'd imagine that Kerry will win a rather high percentage of the African-American vote. They said that Gore wouldn't win a lot of African-American votes, and Gore won one of the highest percentages of that vote ever.

Joe "Matthew Perry" Scarborough and Ron Reagan can take a break as long as this W speech is on MSNBC
