Thats kinda bizarre. Has FOX or anyone else called Hawaii yet??

So CNN finally decided to call Michigan, Minnesota, and Hawaii, all for Kerry. Bush: 249, Kerry: 242 according to them...

Ok, forgetting Ohio for a moment... what is everybody's opinion on the IOWA debacle? They've stopped counting b/c of broken voting machines and counter fatique, saying they'll pick it up tomorrow? Did I understandt hat correctly?

What's interesting is that Kerry has a 100,000+ lead in Michigan (CNN hasn't called Michigan eitehr i dunno about everybody else)... roughly the same type of lead... is that too close to call also???

Iowa delaying their official count until Wednesday, because machines broke down, fatigue, some other reasons (i dont know, judy woodruff is babbling about something)... according the secretary of state. Well so much for the election being decided now

??? really?

Oy. my head hurts. Eventually there's going to be a count, that cuonts everything, absentee, provisional, cast, blah blah blah. I think i'm gonna just ignore all the rhetoric that will come from it, and only look at the numbers. Commence bitching.

As far as ohio goes, i'm waiting for the raw vote counts

The Bush lead has slipped to less than 100,000

still nobody else is calling Ohio.

There are still some people in line in Cleveland MSNBC showing people in line... I think FOX is jumping the gun a bit (even thought heyw ill probably end up being right)

Its a horse race again. ALso, Kerry has moved ahead in Michigan, thanks to the Wayne/Washetnaw County vote I was blabbering about earlier finally being counted

Earlier, someone was wondering how some states can be called with a small % of precints while others can have a higher % of precincts but not be called... I found out, it has to do with WHICH precincts report in... if high population precincts report in early, then a state can be called with a low percentage of precincts reporting in....... by contrast, for instance, you could have a state reach 20, 30, 40 % of precincts in, but if the ones that HAVENT reported in are high population centers, then its still in play

They just showed a line from Ohio on MSNBC... whoa, the sucker was spiraling all through a parking lot, that is insane.

Everything's pretty much exactly as expected.. if you add California to Kerry, the EVs are pretty close (what, 167 to 171?), and that brings us back to the big 4, Michgian, Ohio, Penn, and Florida. Michigan is useless until Wayne County checks in, Ohio has lines that have gone for 4 or 5 hours, etc, this is gonna go until tomorrow morning imo.

I just want to comment on michigan... until Wayne county chimes in, results so far are not necessarily indictive of how the state will go. CNN.com shows where the votes are coming (what precincts)... Wayne County is still white (that's where Detroit and a huge block of population is) as is Washenataw County, which is where Ann Arbor is (college town, home of UofM, quite liberal). Between those two counties, and wherever Lansing is, THAT is where most of Michigan's population is.

Jeez some of these lines in these states are stretched out to hell. We're not going to have a president tonight, no way no how. Especially in Ohio.

regarding SC, i think they set up some specific internal standard relating to # of votes, or percentage of precints reported in conjunction with a certain lead, etc, that have to be in before they make a call...

CNN's live pages are great, the way you can track the numbesr coming in before any calls.

I'm going with CNN, they have a system set up that there won't be any lag between when they get results from precints and when they report them, they are routed directly to those screens that's set up. I'll give Comedy Central a view too.

bahahahaha how lame. I am glad I stopped watching this company.

Everything went pretty smoothly at my polling place. Took about 20 or 30 minutes in line... its a suburb of Detroit, nothing major.

ROUND BALL-SHAPED Corn Pops!?!?!? What the fuck!?!? What kind of bizarro alternate reality do you canucks live in!?

Aaaaah yes, Scarlett Johannsen... one of our finest creations
