Electoral Count (Bush 254 Kerry 242) (Ohio to Bush?)

[jalaram]

Can we have one thread because most people will get the results at the same time? That way we don't have multiple threads declaring Bush wins Texas or Kerry wins Mass.

[Edit] Heading to sleep now. I'll try to update it in the morning.

[Edit] My 4 month old daughter woke up. So, here's an update.

 

[jalaram]

E.g. on MSNBC's web site, this was listed:

NBC News Projects: Bush wins Ga., Indiana, Ky.; Kerry wins Vt.

 

[daveshel]

Good idea. Maybe we can get a sticky.

Same as cnn. So far these are all obvious states... When does the first swing state close?

 

[Bumrush99]

Fl closes at 7pm. We should start seeing some numbers later tonight

Bush: 34
Kerry: 3

those are not the final results? are those projected or from "exit poles"?

Poll Closing Times

Florida is open until 8PM since a few counties are in CST.

 

[jalaram]

Projected. The news agencies have changed how they'll report the winners in order to avoid the problems from 2000.

 

[Tylanner]

I dont thing anything is final untill the electoral college votes.

Which is the first Monday after the second Wendsday in December.

 

[element]

Ohio is coming up soon too.

 

[Gaard]

Maybe we could get the OP to edit the title with the numbers as they come in.

 

[jalaram]

Good idea. Thanks.

Done.

What sites are you guys looking at for updates? I'm looking at cnn.com but was wondering if there was a better one out there

 

[Infohawk]

jalaram, you'd better be here all night to update this stuff. Hope you know what you got yourself into now that you're stickied.

Yeah. Plop your butt down and kick your feet up. We'll give you a 5-minute bathroom break every other hour...I don't want you moving off that chair otherwise.

those are the results so far, but its only 3 states, and none were swing states.

the first swing state Ohio, is going to close in 2 minutes. 7:30pm eastern time.

This is exciting! I'm hitting F5 every couple minutes

 

[Tylanner]

FOX: Bush takes WV.

I'm watching Chris Mathews on MSNBC. Too close to call on Ohio so far.
