A lot of the liberal, Western States aren't in, yet. Don't get your hopes up/be disappointed quite yet.

If Romney loses the electoral college but wins the popular vote, I'd go to sleep with smile on faces

Remember, same thing happened with Bush's second term.

And that is why the electoral college, as it is, is a Bad Thing(c).

This is an American election, silly. Aside from the battleground states, nowhere else matters because of our terrible electoral college system rendering the rest of the country non-competitive.

NBC is calling Pennsylvania for Obama, and while the Presidential ballot in New Hampshire is not officially called, the governor race there looks to be a lock for the Democrat.

North Dakota Senate seat possibly going to the Republican challenger.

I'm looking at a map right now, and there is a lot more red on it than blue. There are several numbers above it, and the red ones tend to be bigger than the blue ones. Is this worrying?

Note that the states have wildly different populations.  Half of the states account for about a sixth of the people.  Coincidentally, most of them lean heavily Republican.

Most of the Bible belt has reported in but the blue states aren't done yet. Romney's going to be ahead until they do.

Also, if lots of red states have big numbers then those aren't really big numbers. Republicans tend to be rural so most of the small states vote republican.

Pennsylvania surprises no-one except massively over-optimistic Romney fans (IE Fox News).  Hey, he was campaigning there, it must be in play!

So Washington, Oregon and California tend to go left? Well they do have big numbers on them, so hopefully those numbers go into the blue numbers and the blue numbers get bigger than the red numbers.


Now reread that, but replace 'numbers' with 'dicks'

A lot of the conservative, Western States aren't in yet either. Really, either this is obviously over in half an hour (Obama wins Florida), or this goes on until we know how Iowa went.

[Leafsnail]

Mitt Romney could edge into the lead on Florida, but the fact that he has to fight a close race there implies he isn't going to win the tougher swing states he needs.

[Knight of Fools]

Yeah.

I kinda wish we could do popular votes. The whole electoral college thing is... Wonky.

[Lord Shonus]

Quite. Even his prelocked states show much smaller margins than I expected.

[Max White]

Just to make sure, you need 270 points to win this game, right?

[Urist Imiknorris]

Yes.

[Max White]

And here I was thinking the Australian election ritual was cryptic and archaic.

[MaximumZero]

I voted earlier in the day. Took me (and my bro) an hour to get through line. Parents voted a couple hours after that. Took them two hours.
