2012 Presidential election results: Obama wins!

[techs]

wtf is going on with Florida? I haven't heard that the polls were being kept open late so why are the big Dem areas not getting in their votes? IIRC those areas closed at 7 or 7:30

Just saw Chuck Todd's breakdown, I agree.. half million in Arlington to be counted

Right on cue, the gap is down to 35k votes.

Many of them had lines and may still be open.

I'm watching Fox now.. lots of excuses and desperate hope, lol.

So, since Mitt claimed he only wrote a victory speech is it safe to assume he won't be speaking tonight after everything's said and done?

NC can *probably* be called for Romney. I see 95% in, and an 80k lead.

 

[dbk]

Akin concession speech.. msnbc

 

[Farang]

Obama appears on track to win Florida. I didn't really think this would happen.. but with 89% in and mostly Dem counties left, I don't know what else to think. Could FL be called before OH?

Florida clearly needs to fire and rehire new poll staff. This is the second time in my adult life that Florida state organization was EPIC fail!

In NY I was in and out in less than 5 mins.

Agreed.

Regarding Akin: goodbye and good riddance, asshole.

At noon CNN was reporting that Florida had a 9 page ballot, and it was taking some people up to 30 minutes to fill it out. Absolutely ridiculous.

Kaine - VA, NBC

Maybe he'll just come on and cry?

It's only that big because they have to use large print for the residents there.

 

[Charles Kozierok]

Romney's VA lead down to 24k.

 

[sdifox]

how many questions are there????

 

[Fritzo]

Like two? They have to use 24pt font

 

[Charles Kozierok]

Pile of constitutional amendments on FL ballot.

 

[DrewSG3]

NBC just projected Iowa for Obama

 

[lupi]

Looking forward to some yummy Sequestration.

 

[sdifox]

Pile of constitutional amendments on FL ballot.

as in state legislature? isn't that just decided by the state senate? If not, what is the point of a state senate?

 

[seepy83]

Here's the sample ballot from FL. Holy Crap: http://www.miamidade.gov/elections/s_ballots/11-6-12_sb.pdf

I don't understand why all the districts are on 1 ballot. Here we have separate ballots with only the district you're in.

It was actually 12 sized font.

how many questions are there????

Every Pres. candidate was on there, and from memory:

Senate
3 judges
sheriff (for me anyway)
school board
mosquito control (2 of them)
11 amendments

I'm sure I missed a few, but if that was your first time seeing the ballot, you were going to spend some time looking it over.

EDIT: Beaten by seconds, clearly it was long as shit.

CNN being retarded and not calling Oregon....
