Election Thread #1 -real version (Let's see how long we can stay on topic)

[Dameon Angell]

in Senate news, the Republicans have grabbe it once again.

Now explain to me - if republicans also nab the House, and this election goes to the House, is that a hypothetical instant Bush win?

if they stay to their party, yes.

Likely. I hadn't thought of that.

wisconsin

[Vykromond]

Colorado is done. Hawaii has Kerry leading.

[Jerome Scuggs]

Y! says 246 - 207. But a minute ago kerry had 206...is this another 1 vote anomaly as explained earlier, except for Kerry?

[Dameon Angell]

246-206 Bush Lead. 9 States to go.

[Fit of Rage]

Which is closer right now-- NM or Ohio?

[Vykromond]

Kerry is up 3000 in Nevada, but this is a very low proportion of precincts reporting- only 15%, one of the worst rates in the country.

[Vykromond]

According to this article early signs of kerry winning caused the economy to fall a bit. So if he wins he inherits a bad economy, let's hope he fixes it

[DoTheFandango]

It just closed for them. For fucks sake.

[Vykromond]

Since I said that, we've had one more Ohio percentage.

Bush (Rep)* 2282532 51%
Kerry (Dem) 2158966 49%


% of precincts reporting: 80


125,000-ish.

Taking my eye off of the vote columns for just about thirty seconds, the gay marriage (and civil union!) ban that was on the table in 11 states as part and parcel of the voting ballot has passed in all eleven of them.

[Vykromond]

Even more from Ohio:

Bush (Rep)* 2308194 51%
Kerry (Dem) 2180849 49%


% of precincts reporting: 82
