Confused about Indiana -- all the stories I found report Romney has won the state 60-38 but they also say that that's with only 1% of precincts reporting in. Umm, don't you think you might want to at least get 10, 15, 20% of the votes in before making any early assumptions? ^^; Like, sure we all think Romney will take Indiana, but do you seriously think it's prudent to call that when 99% of the votes still haven't been reported in? ^^;;;;;;

I thought they based it off of exit polling as well though?

EC votes- 33 for Romney, 3 for Obama according to CNN.
I dislike the electoral college system. |

My friend is a staunch Romney supporter and tells me that I'm an idiot for basing my judgments of him based on what he says and not on how he acted as a governor. Apparently he "had to flip flop" to appeal to the Republicans as he was a moderate and he will rule as one, and so I'm dumb for basing him off of what he said in his campaign, not on how he acted as governor.

Google is reporting a massive 0.9% for Gary Johnson in Kentucky with 6,523 votes so far! Yay! -_-

Fun trivia fact: there are 284,819 SPPf accounts. If you assume that even as few as 10% of those were made by human beings, that still puts SPPf's summative human population at a figure four times greater than all the people who voted for Gary Johnson in the state of Kentucky.
Congrats, Deo: you are rarer politically than a Serebii account holder is rare Internet-wise.

Not that I think highly of Romney, but ATM the only states we have sure results on are the states we pretty much knew were going one way or the other sight unseen so why worry about the returns at this moment?

If Obama wins and gets his second term, I will still be slightly upset with the EC system. |

YouTube/Google is reporting:
If Obama should win tonight, it's looking very possible for a split popular/electoral vote. And man oh man would that make for a popcorn_jackson.gif Christmas. As for some specific states ... Ohio: Obama currently leading 57.3% to Romney 41.0% w/ 2% of precincts reported in Virginia: Romney currently leading 54.0% to Obama 43.8% w/ 57% of precincts reported in Florida: Obama currently leading 50.4% to Romney 48.0% w/ 39% of precincts reported in Could be a nail-biter if Obama wins Ohio while Romney wins Florida and Virginia.

I should probably confess that I'm not voting in this election, since I herped the derp and forgot to send in my absentee ballot in time. Since I live in California though, I console myself that that's not much of a loss in terms of the presidential election, and am mostly miffed that I won't get to have my utterly irrelevant say on inane bullshit like the oh noes teh frankenfoodz proposition.

All I could think of when I heard Independent candidate Angus King is the name of the projected winner of the Maine senate seat:

Deo: You beat me to it. I was thinking the exact same thing, haha.
Anyway, I hope the results of Florida come in soon so I can just stop hearing about the political race from the retarded, uneducated people that I call friends. Saw that if Obama won Florida and one other "battleground state" he'd win the election because of his states that are obvious wins, like California. (CBS, if anyone's curious, reported that) Since he's won PA (woohoo!) and NJ, looks like if he can take Florida, Obama won't need Ohio to win the election. Doesn't look good for him, though, if Romney wins it. Even though I really don't like either candidate, Romney pisses me off more, so I'm hoping that Obama can get a second term. EDIT: It appears that I've gotten my battleground states incorrect. Oops. Well, the point still stands because Obama just won NH.

So am I seeing this correctly, Obama has a slight edge in Ohio?

That's what I saw, and a slight edge in Florida as well.

Google says Obama has an edge on Ohio and Romney has an edge on Florida.
Edit: Nevermind, Obama has an edge on Florida again.

NPR reports 66% of Nevadan voters voted early this year, of which the score was a lead by 50,000 votes for the Democrats.
Not quite the same figures but Iowa has a similar story with tens of thousands more Democrats than Republicans for early voting. Joe the Plumber's congressional bid failed.

Yeah, a state can legalize marijuana, but the federal law still makes it illegal, which means that even though it would be legal in your state, the DEA can still come after you and fuck you up. Isn't that stupid?
