Election Results Thread

[Stardreamer]

CNN just called the House of Representatives race for the Republicans, there are not enough competitive races left in the running to change it and it is possible the Republicans are going to pick up a seat or two. They are also suggesting the Senate is going to go to the Democrats. Really looks like we are going to come out of the election with the status quo.

[BostonPirate]

Still 5k vote lead for Warren. At least the GOP has to deal with another Kennedy in Congress. Tisei did win the North Shore district so that's interesting.

this is where We thought it was going to be though. We talked about it in another thread, I think. Warren's urban ground game is off the hook, so I promise you, the city precincts are going to give her a solid.

[centexfarmer]

does anyone put in states going for romney? is that allowed ?

somebody ck with mgmt.

I'm in "mgmt"

The talking heads on Fox all look very sad

Cheer up!

They'll either be rubbing one out on the Morning Joe, or spinning it on Fox and Friends.

Don't lose hope.

ABC News projects Republicans retain control of the House.

[AngolaZee]

Florida (76% counted)

Obama - 50%
Romney - 50%

Romney leads

- - - Updated - - -

Colorado
Obama - 54%
Romney - 44%

[GiancarloC]

With 9% counted (HuffPost) Obama leads 55-43.7% in Ohio. So far thats 955k-758k... we'll see.

Perhaps his popular plan with the auto industry and Ohio's low unemployment rate and strong economy may have provided the boost.

Angola, the very interesting thing is both Miami and Broward haven't even finished half way counting. That's a close one. I kinda wish I moved to FL when I had a chance... at least my vote would have counted more.

[CoolBlue71]

Is this one confirmed?

NBC News announced it as the polls closed at 9 p.m. ET.

Linda McMahon's Ego-maniac Husband (Who use to have WWE-Wrestlers get on their Knees and kiss his bare butt Cheeks during LIVE matches) needs to tell her to GIVE it up....Stop wasting all those Millions on a lost cause....Or Move to a Republican State....It was kind of HOT watching those Muscled Fuckers Kiss his Ass in order to keep their Contracts...They hated doing it soooo much...LOL..

Could Obama win Arizona?

I thought we'd find out the Winner before Mid-night but all the swing states still have Lines forming out the doors..

[chance1]

Florida is moving to romney

but ohio and penn seem very obama

[CoolBlue71]

Fox News has called Pennsylvania for President Obama!

[GiancarloC]

Florida well... I think the difference is 5 thousand votes and major urban areas have still yet to be counted. It was reported that there were HUGE lines. Who knows... urban centers generally are democrat. We'll see.

[centexfarmer]

Fox News has called Pennsylvania for President Obama!

Fox News called Florida for Bush back in 2000.

Hold your britches.

[chance1]

romney was destroyed in pennsylvania

[chance1]

romney's formula is florida, colorado, ohio and NC

[JayHawk]

Whew! Obama in trouble Ohio will save him I guess

[GiancarloC]

Fox News called Florida for Bush back in 2000.

Hold your britches.

Well... Pennsylvania... all those close polls... if you look at the numbers... Romney got destroyed there. 11% counting and I think its 68-30%.

[maxpowr9]

this is where We thought it was going to be though. We talked about it in another thread, I think. Warren's urban ground game is off the hook, so I promise you, the city precincts are going to give her a solid.

Warren is pulling away about 30k now. My mom is sad that Prop 2 will most likely pass. Silly lax Catholic. Oh well, at least I will get my pot now.

[loki81]

Fox News has called Pennsylvania for President Obama!

clearly that voting fraud reporter earlier was pervasive and wide-spread, Obama's only winning PA 2:1.

[GiancarloC]

Whew! Obama in trouble Ohio will save him I guess

As I posted before, the strong economy of several of these swing states had the possibility of moving the race to Obama's square.

Any guesses on California? That's a tough one. LOL.

[GiancarloC]

Huff hasn't been fantastic tonight... but that's a bit more than 2:1... so far.

Electoral College

Obama - 144
Romney - 154

[centexfarmer]

Well... Pennsylvania... all those close polls... if you look at the numbers... Romney got destroyed there. 11% counting and I think its 68-30%.

Becky Puhleeze!

Once the votes have been counted, we won't really know.

I'm still praying that the Texas electorate will pull one out and keep Cruz from becoming the next Senator from Texas.

And the polls haven't even closed in Cali yet.

What are you watching there?

[GiancarloC]

New Mexico... 14% Counting (Yahoo control room), Obama 55%-Romney 41%.

[AngolaZee]

Colorado (22% counted)

Obama - 53%
Romney - 45%

[JayHawk]

Just heard a gun go off... I think the Kansas republicans around me are getting the idea that Obama is staying in office.....

[CoolBlue71]

Fox News projects Obama wins Wisconsin.

NBC News/MSNBC says it's true.

Huh? For one, the state has already been called. The votes are being counted... the margin is too wide. Unless Romney somehow wins a ton and Obama wins nothing... it's obvious.

I'm not watching any news. All looking online. I don't need a migraine.

[chance1]

another state that dick morris had put in the romney column - LOL

[centexfarmer]

Just heard a gun go off... I think the Kansas republicans around me are getting the idea that Obama is staying in office.....

That are a local "Mexican" confused November 6th as some sort of Holiday, or a Dallas Cowboys win!

[AngolaZee]

Florida (82% counted)

Obama - 50%
Romney - 50%

Romney leads by 636 votes

[GiancarloC]

Now here is an idea I been floating on my head... one term, six years... saves us a ton of money and other countries do it that way. It can force changes in political parties too.

[T-Rexx]

Just heard a gun go off... I think the Kansas republicans around me are getting the idea that Obama is staying in office.....

They should save their ammunition.

Since, you know, they won't be able to buy any during the Obama administration.

[Stardreamer]

And coming around the half way turn its Mittens Romney in the lead with Seabiscuit Obama close on his hind hooves and gaining ground in the straightaway.

A Few Election Day Predictions:


Expect on Tuesday a plethora of polling place horror stories from across the nation, including sporadic physical confrontations and resulting arrests involving Tea Party-backed poll watchers from TRUE THE VOTE, et al in multiple urban precincts throughout many if not all of the eleven toss-up states.


Expect craziness, if not sheer lunacy, in Republican Governor Rick Scott's Florida. Going forward, perhaps the National Guard should be charged with running elections here as state officials are clearly failing in their responsibilities.


Expect unwillingness on the part of the Republican Secretary of State in Ohio, Jon Husted, to call the election in his state in a timely manner.


Expect a mandatory recount in Colorado if the margin of victory falls below 1.0%, bearing in mind that the Republican Secretary of State in Colorado, Scott Gessler, is a doppelganger for Ohio's Jon Husted.


Expect Paul Ryan to retain his congressional seat in Wisconsin as a majority of voters in his district cast ballots against him at the national level while voting in support of him at the local level…perhaps as a form of 'contrition'.


Expect FOXNEWS to be clamoring for congressional investigations into Democrat voter fraud, less real than imagined, even before the polls close.


Expect Right Wing talk radio to begin fomenting, if not actually inciting, popular 'resistance' to the certification of the legitimate Electoral College outcome, and we all know what THAT is code for, while condemning the continued use of the Electoral College itself.


In spite of these obstacles, Obama wins the White House with an electoral vote tally of 303 to Romney's 235, taking Colorado and Virginia but failing to steal Florida, which in truth had already been stolen on behalf of Romney by Governor Rick Scott.


All legal challenges to the certification of the election that are filed in federal courts are summarily dismissed with prejudice and Barack Hussein Obama is sworn in on January 20, 2013 for his second term as President of the United States.


The very next day, and with no fanfare or publicity, the lights come on in Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential Campaign Headquarters.

I fell asleep for a while

What's sleep?

I haven't had that for a couple of days now.

I look like shit... haven't shaved in two days either... unusual for me lol.

New Hampshire was finally called for Obama. That took its sweet time.

You know... I'm sure some republicans were wishing the whole west coast would fall into the ocean right now lol... we haven't been counted yet... but it's just obvious.

Prop 30 must pass!

[CoolBlue71]

Fox News projects Joe Donnelly wins Indiana U.S. Senate race. It's a Democratic pickup.

[centexfarmer]

If you'd stop "rubbing one out" between returns, you might be able to keep up.

[AngolaZee]

Electoral College

Obama - 158
Romney - 154

[JayHawk]

There you go Mourdock... now you know what God sanctioned rape is--- the electorate... hopefully Akin will be legitimately raped by the electorate as well.....

[CoolBlue71]

NBC News projects Sherrod Brown wins Ohio U.S. Senate race.

[hotatlboi]

Romney down to 50 cents on intrade lol.

[AngolaZee]

For the first time Obama pulls ahead in the EC

Poor Bill, he still hasn't caught on to the idea that his wife doesn't want to be under the same roof as him (for any extended period of time) since the late 1990's.

[maxpowr9]

There you go Mourdock... now you know what God sanctioned rape is--- the electorate... hopefully Akin will be legitimately raped by the electorate as well.....

It was God's intention for Mourdock to lose his election.

[Stardreamer]

Heard on the radio driving one of the 'UN Observers' commented he was very impressed with the US voting system and the amount of trust the people seem to have in their election system.

So far the only real problems I've heard of was the improper handling of some counting systems software in violation of one state's IA process, a definite security concern but not one likely to affect the vote results and easily checked by recounts and some touch screen voting machines that due not being properly calibrated was trying to record votes for Romney as votes for Obama. The voting review process caught the mistake and poll workers corrected it.

[AngolaZee]

You'll are crzy

[GiancarloC]

I wonder if Nate Silver is watching...

I'm on my third red bull...

[centexfarmer]

NBC News projects Sherrod Brown wins Ohio U.S. Senate race.

Yay!

I wasn't aware that Sherrod had any opposition.
