Official OT Election Thread - What a ride!

[PCAddict]

It's gonna be interesting. I am enjoying watching the biased newcasters getting pissed off as the results are coming in from each state.

EDIT: Damn, it sure did get interesting. Stay tuned folks.

But, none of the critical swing states have come in yet. All states so far reported were considered to be "safe states" I think. FL, MI, OH, et al have not shown up yet.

Plus algore has California and New York pretty much locked up. Around 90 will goto him. DOH!!!!

How can they know yet? The polls close at 8, & it's still 10 'til on the east coast...

Some polls close earlier than others, Viper GTS.

And keep in mind even if Gore somehow wins, you simply won't see a lot of "blue" on the map -- "his" states are concentrated in the NE and CA which combined equal much "red". It's kinda like a game of Risk...and yet not.

BTW, I just heard Florida will likely go to Albert Gore...it ain't over.

 

[somethingwitty]

woohoo, florida to Gore

 

[compuwiz1]

Bush will win.

 

[zippy]

Hopefully, Gore will have CA and it was just reported (check Pennstate's post) that Gore won FLA and he will also have NY. That is 54+25+33=102 votes right there between only three states.

Come on Gore!

Actually, I don't like either candidate, I just dislike Bush a lot more.

54-28 Bush right now.....

 

[DirkBelig]

Gore's got Florida (greedy geezers) and Michigan (stupid auto workers) so if Pennsylvania goes Gore, he wins and America loses.

121-119. there goes that early lead. =(

 

[Russ]

Now 121 to 119, Bush.

Russ, NCNE

 

[Pennstate]

I guess, the mod locked the other threads so this becomes the OFFICIAL ELCTION RESULT THREAD

 

[zippy]

A nice diagram of the states each candidate won! It is updated as results come in, too!

 

[Balt]

I don't think this is turning out well for Bush. New York still hasn't sent in its votes, and CA won't for a while.

Bush needs a commanding lead right now to compensate for those states, and he doesn't have it at the moment.

 

[perry]

I prefer just typing in cnn.com to get my map of the electors. It still shows 108-71 though.

 

[sweetrobin]

Gosh this is nerve racking .. why do they do this .. why not just let us go to sleep and us wake up and they tell us who is president .. this sucks ..

 

[somethingwitty]

130-119 bush. which state just added 9?

 

[zippy]

I really hope CA goes Gore and that NY doesn't lay down a shocker and go Bush!

 

[BigSmooth]

Bush winning the popular and Gore winning the electoral is becoming a real possibility here...

 

[Russ]

Bore loses his home state.

Russ, NCNE

 

[konichiwa]

There's no way NY is going to pull Bush. In Cali Gore has less of a lead but he'll still pull it.

 

[Viper GTS]

All the news sites are friggin' slow. I guess the bastards didn't think to beef up their server farms.
