ELECTION RESULTS - Realtime Discussion Thread

[HMFIC]

HA! Ohio is tied at 49% right now.... with 74% reporting.

I'm glad it wasn't one of those elections where you have to stay up until 2 in the morning to find out who won.

Here's to 4 more years of moaning and whining!

ohio is tied with 27% yet to be counted if it goes romney obama loses 18pts. 275-18 doesnt win.

Should the feds decide if a state is winner-take-all or by district (like Nebraska and maybe a couple of others)?

Right now, it is an accurate representation of the makeup of Congress.

Like in 2008 when Oklahoma had 77 red counties and Democrat Dan Boren in Congress?

It can't change without a constitutional amendment. The EC was set up in the original drafting of the constitution. The Feds don't decide how the states offer up their EC votes, each state does.

I won't.

In fact, I think that each State needs to extend the principle to their own borders.

Fox makes a point that I was wondering that in Ohio there is 75% of the Ohio vote in and a increasingly smaller margin... this might have been called too early.

It kind of looks like broncobama could lose Ohio at this point and still win the election.

it was worse under Reagan.

Huh??

The major news networks are trying to fuel the riots when they say later BO looses.

That was my point...

It doesnt matter if you are right in the media, only if you are first.
