Another thing that gets me riled up is smartaleck news networks calling states with less than a third of all precincts reporting.

But what really surprises me is my own county. 83% reporting says it's a slight lead for Bush - I had expected the area to be a relative blowout for Kerry.

Nonetheless, Arkansas as a whole is still 75% not reporting. A lot can happen in 75%.

And the nation as a whole has a long ways yet to go before any winner can be declared. Remember, in 2000, the networks called Florida for Gore, for Bush, for Gore, for Bush, for Kang & Kodos, for Bush, etc...

CNN have data along the same lines:

Kerry: 158,956

Don't worry, Florida may be lost (though the early votes may yet swing things in our favor), but I bet we will win Ohio, Penn looks good, and we will win at least three of Michigan Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, we will be in good shape.

Ohio has low-tech voting systems so it takes a really long time for them to calculate their votes.

Plus as I said earlier, people are still voting in some places in Ohio, hours after the polls were supposed to close.

In Florida:

- Broward is 87% in
- Palm Beach is 94% in

so, don't have your hopes to heigh on those areas.

Why would Ohio get to Kerry? so far Bush is leading by 4%
For what reason would it go to Kerry anyway?

You're forgetting the huge number of early voters in these counties.

I welcome our new Asiatic overlords.

Kerry is about to get a 60+ EV boost when CA and OR closes in about 10 minutes.

Of course, the fact is it doesn't behoove the networks to announce states too early - better to let the drama drag out as to increase ratings.

Pretty clear that Bush is going to win Florida

Compare the presidential vote
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pa...P/00/index.html

To the US Senate race
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pa...states/FL/S/01/

The latter is what everybody expected the presidential race to look like.

In Florida, there are now about 600k votes not counted, Bush has a lead of ~275 000. Presuming that ALL of those 600k votes are in heavily democratic votes, such as Palm Beach, which went to Kerry about 60-40, Kerry will gain 400k votes and Bush 200k. 400k-200k < 275k.

The main thing Kerryites are banking on are the early votes which accounted for 1/5 of the total votes cast. They favored Kerry by a large margin, and have not been added to the totals yet.

As for Ohio, exit polls favored Kerry and from what I hear, most of the counties that favor Kerry have not reported yet.
