Registered Democrats: 3
Registered Republicans: 4
Registered Independents:3

Obama: 5

Hope we dont get these irritating ties all over

[RazorzEdge88]

Right now, Barack Obama's lead in New Hampshire is as thin as turnip soup.

[AngolaZee]

Just a slight but "important correction"

Dixville Notch

Population: 10
Registered Democrats: 2
Registered Republicans: 3
Registered Independents: 5

Obama: 5
Romney: 5

So Obama got 3 Independent votes while Romney got 2

[dat outside dick]

Why didn't you correct the "Right first reslts ou" ?

[AngolaZee]

Why didn't you correct the "Right first reslts ou" ?

No need, you got the point

[frankfrank]

It's started!

Side note: While driving last week, I scrolled through each state and Canadian province/territory mentally to come up with towns which could not even possibly exist in any other state or province and, after some painful pondering on New Hampshire, I remembered this place. Prince Edward Island is the only one I couldn't conclusively come up with anything, though Charlottetown PROBABLY doesn't exist elsewhere. The 5 or 6 other places I thought of, might.

For those who think this will be entertaining…

Anyone have DVR recommendations?

I have two HD DVRs for which I'm intending on using to record the election-night coverage from ABC, CNN, Current TV, and MSNBC.

I have the NBC/MSNBC coverage already. (I'm anticipating better commentary from the cable end.) But CBS will fall by the wayside.

Should I be doing Fox News Channel? (They were priceless in 2008. But I figure enough of those clips will be on YouTube.)

[AngolaZee]

That stuff will be very valuable on Ebay 50 years from now

We will all be drinking today.

Alcoholic libations? Myself, no. But I may be sorely tempted.

[AngolaZee]

Bring out the barbecue stands everybody dammit

[Sausy]

Bring out the barbecue stands everybody dammit

I second that!

[palbert]

You overlooked an other NH polling place:

The other New Hampshire town with midnight voting- the slightly more populous (32 voters) Hart's Location- swung towards Obama tonight- 23 Obama, 9 Romney.

[AngolaZee]

That's the way aha aha we like it. I'm really starting to get nervous coz this election looks like it will be very close

[MikeyLove]

There's already signs of trickery in the machines in some places, and we may see more of them uploaded to YouTube, as people video their voting.

The Networks with the BEST panel of Commentators are MSNBC & CNN....FOX is never fair and balanced...Even when the republicans are doing bad FOX will say they're doing good...MSNBC & CNN do not roll like that..They tell is like it is.....

I know its about 8hrs before Virginia polls close but I'm gonna call it early and say it goes to Obama.....

Dixville Notch

Population: 10
Registered Democrats: 2
Registered Republicans: 3
Registered Independents: 5

Obama: 5
Romney: 5

So Obama got 3 Independent votes while Romney got 2

BREAKING: "We understand there will be a full investigation after allegations have ALREADY surfaced of electoral fraud in New Hampshire. This was apparently caused by an anonymous user online, who issued an unwarranted 'correction' of the results. Spokesmen for the Obama and Romney campaigns have challenged the validity of the count. With the Presidential race expected to finish at 268-268, it looks like the New Hampshire result will have to be arbritated by the Supreme Court. Stay with us for more on this late-breaking story."

[loki81]

FOX is never fair and balanced... MSNBC... tell is like it is.

you're not serious, are you? the only difference between MSNBC and Fox as far as I can tell is that MSNBC has better looking guys like Maddow.

I'll be watching MSNBC until Morning Joe is done... once they revert back to their usual hacks, I'll probably switch to CNN until non-cable news starts up, and then switch to NBC.

(emphasis mine)

How does one register independent?

[TX-Beau]

OK just been told that's the state registration not a party affiliation.

Never mind.

[loki81]

lol... Morning Joe has been over for 3 minutes and Chris Matthews is already calling everyone who voted third party "idiots."

bye MSNBC, I'll see you tomorrow morning.

[palemale]

But then you'll miss Ed's great text polls.

Matthews, Schultz and O'Donnell are going to have a collective unhinge-a-thon should Romney prove the immortal Nate Silver wrong. Maddow will do a snarky slow melt, in comparison.

I can't. I haven't voted yet.

Oh you know you LOVE all the Players @ MSNBC....Don't even try it.....You live in Jersey City I hope that you and your Family & Friends didnt get hit too hard like most of your neighbors.....It's good that you're posting that is a good sign.....I've been Praying for you Guys....

[bw92116]

So is the Republican Party of Dixville Notch going to claim "voter fraud," and who are they gonna git?

[maxpowr9]

I didn't know Romney's rally was at the Boston Convention Center. No wonder that area of Boston is shut down already. It would be quite dour if Brown loses first.

[Telstra]

.
After seeing this thread below, this election is rigged !!!!
The machines will just make up the results saying Romney got 51.3% of the votes ?

http://www.justusboys.com/forum/thre...-happening-NOW

[thatgirl]

I'm so ready, American elections are so entertaining. I hope Obama continues to be your president.

Will have CNN/MSNBC/FOX playing in the background. I'll be alternating between them.

[BostonPirate]

Just got back from voting. Three people in line before me.

[GiancarloC]

My voting experience was fine... more young voters than older ones. Who knows from the bigger picture.. it's Cali... I'm focused on Prop 30 passing.

[ChickenGuy]

Can someone remind me what is expected to happen for control of the Senate and House of Representatives?

Are any major changes or upsets expected?

[loki81]

not really.

Republicans will almost certainly keep the House, but a couple far-right nominees really killed their chances of re-taking the Senate.

[cgymike]

Looks like status quo for you guys down there. Early congratulations on an Obama win may soon be in order. :P

[maxpowr9]

^Even if you negate FL, OH, CO, AL and HI (the latter for time zone purposes) and Obama carries all the other swing states (NH, PA, VA, IA, WI, MI and NV), Obama still wins with 272.

If that case happens, the election could be over by 11:30EST.

[AngolaZee]

Whites - 73%
Blacks - 13%
Latino - 9%


Democrats - 37%
Republicans - 34%
Independents - 29%

[AngolaZee]

Indiana (1% of the votes counted )
Obama - 35%
Romney - 63%

[T-Rexx]

HuffPo has called New Hampshire for Obama; Indiana and Kentucky for Romney.

Obama has 4 electoral college votes, Romney 19 at this point.

Two-thirds of the popular vote tallied so far has gone to Romney.

Exit Polls

Republicans
Obama - 6%
Romney - 94%

Democrats
Obama - 92%
Romney - 7%

[BostonPirate]

New Hampshire is one of the important ones... well that moves one route out of Romney's grasp. Now he has to get Ohio Florida and pennsylvania, or he's out of the running. All paths to victory for Romney run through those states, WITH virginia and south carolina.

[GiancarloC]

They called new Hampshire for Obama? Isn't it too early?

[AngolaZee]

Still too early guys let's not get ahead of ourselves here, this is gonna be tight

[BostonPirate]

Exit poll data probably mixed with early voting tallies. However it's not going to be that easy here on out. Virginia will be the first one that comes in that matters most probably.

[AngolaZee]

This one is so funny

Voters who attend church weekly
Obama - 37%
Romney - 61%

Voters who never attend church
Obama - 62%
Romney - 34%

[cgymike]

^Even if you negate FL, OH, CO, AL and HI (the latter for time zone purposes) and Obama carries all the other swing states (NH, PA, VA, IA, WI, MI and NV), Obama still wins with 272.

Wow - 5 more hours and it's over?

[maxpowr9]

They called new Hampshire for Obama? Isn't it too early?

Yep. Most pollsters at least have the decency to wait to call a state before their polling is done. NH ends at 8pm local time like most states.

Huffington post is probably doing some exit polling which is by no means allowed to report on said results.

[AngolaZee]

Now Romney insiders says they expect Obama to be 5% ahead of Romney in Ohio

[BostonPirate]

It needs to be a six percent lead or better to avoid being contested in Ohio.

[GiancarloC]

Now Romney insiders says they expect Obama to be 5% ahead of Romney in Ohio

That'll be nice... but is there a source?
