10000 in NH, only 9% to go. COME ON NEW ENGLAND, UNITED WE STAND.

My parents are giving me a lot of shit for staying up because I have work tomorrow. I might be unable to update soon.

Bush (Rep)* 2496440 51%
Kerry (Dem) 2371383 49%


% of precincts reporting: 89

Margin: 125,057

[Vykromond]

This doesn't even look like it'll be easy to contest. The margin is too wide to be the result of anything but an ENORMOUS fraud operation, which even I find impossible, and I'm a wacko leftie!

[Vykromond]

Bush is ahead by 3000 in Iowa. Kerry is ahead by 1000 in NV. Bush is ahead by 5% in NM. Bush won Alaska.

If something crazy doesn't happen in these last 10%, we're done.

I think Fox and MSNBC said Bush won already, or something. I'll check in a sec.

[Vykromond]

I was wrong. MSNBC and Fox both list Bush at 269, which is tantamount to the end given how NM is going.

There was a comment just now on NPR about the Hispanic vote in NM and how it came out 60-40% in favour of Kerry, but was expected to have a much greater margin in his favour.

FAQ: Vykromond, what are these numbers?
These are the live-updated results, as reported by ABC News, which has shown nonpartisan and solid reporting of the election thus far, of the election results in Ohio. At this moment in time, Ohio is all that matters- if Bush wins it, he wins.

Bush (Rep)* 2577304 51%
Kerry (Dem) 2477475 49%

EDIT: A friend of mine says that the Kerry campaign released a statement to TV networks saying that MSNBC and Fox were wrong to call Ohio. I also think it's too early to call Ohio, but I don't know if they're wrong. Sounds like some Kerry-campaign wishful thinking.
