Electoral count

[MrBishop]

184-112

 

[PT]

He's got Florida by 250K votes, 80% reporting

 

[catocom]

If he's gfoing to hit 270, he will....especailly with Penn. leaning towards Kerry. Wihtout CA and FLA...he's only got 57 uncounted electoral college votes left. He'd better do better than 50% in CA and FLA to take this one

where's a chart that shows how many electorals each state has?

 

[catocom]

ah I found it...

[catocom]

I didn't realize CA had 55
Why do they get so many?
Are there really that many people out there?

 

[PT]

Ok, 88% of FL in now, Bush is ahead by 260k and they're still not calling it. Wonder why?

 

[catocom]

some of the Dem hotspots haven't reported yet i guess.

Now it gets real interesting.......

 

[catocom]

Yahoo is calling CA for Kerry already?

maybe they're just a little gunshy from last election ,how many times did someone predict a winner ,only to have the decision a month later .

That was embarrassing especially for nbc when they originally pronounced Gore as the winner.

 

[catocom]

FL is slow every year.
I think they just like being in the spotlight.

I'm disappointed though. I was hoping that it wouldn't even be close, overall.

Looks like it might come down to Alaska.

 

[BeardofPants]

Is alaska's polls still open?

 

[HeXp£Øi±]

I think until 8:00pm which is 20 minutes from now.

 

[A.B.Normal]

Some states ,Florida for one,has had their voting hours extended,so Alaska may too.

I wouldn't doubt it. We have 10,000 bush communities spread out over six hundred and fifty six thousand square miles trying to make it to 219 voting precincts. Most of these areas have no roads. Hellofa lot of work for 1 measly electoral vote.
