Why is any of you watching FOX for this? WTF is wrong with you!

 

[Anthropic]

Cuyahoga County, Ohio, could save Kerry's ass.

 

[goodcow]

They are lying, it’s 57-43 Kerry.

FOX News just gave Kerry the win for PA.

 

[mattx5]

You'll love our Canadian winters...

 

[ShadowRed]

Frustrated that Texas machines are not working? :lol Like it would ever matter?

Agreed but the flaw was a suspicous one at that. If you voted straight ticket Democrat at the end it would have you voting for Bush. A lot of people didn't realize this others did and brought it to the attention of people. They never reported on the news what would happen if you voted straight Republican. If the machine cast the vote for Kerry then I can see it as a simple mistake and a value got switched somewhere, but if it counted the straight Republican vote correctly then I would think that something fishie was going on. The media never ran with the story like they should have or asked the deeper questions to get to the bottom of the situation.

 

[cvxfreak]

Michigan for Bush?

Doubt it, but not impossible...

 

[Chony]

All my friends are very political, so I knew we would all vote (we are all 18 - 23), but I guess the majority of kids our age just dont care. Sad really, everyone should get out to vote, should be mandatory like in aussie.

 

[Willco]

Yeah, I can't believe voter turnout among youths was exactly the same as 2000 after all the shit Democrats were talking about kids coming out to vote.

 

[thefit]

West Side!!!!!

 

[explodet]

Damn, looks like Jon Stewart is holding back the tears!

 

[MetatronM]

Time for the west coast to color in the map. The total electoral votes are suddenly about to become very even.

Kerry wins Cali and Washington.

Bush wins Idaho.

Oregon and Hawaii too soon to call.

 

[Mason]

NBC just gave Washington and Cali to Kerry.

 

[Kettch]

OK, here's what matters. Kerry needs Florida, Ohio, OR Colorado for a chance to win. Otherwise the best he can do is tie, even if he takes every other 2000 Bush state he has a chance in.

 

[mattx5]

CNN has Kerry at 188!

Damnit, Canadian TV cut off the Daily Show for local news, I don't have Comedy Central

 

[Phoenix]

They are lying, it’s 57-43 Kerry.

Its too close to call because its a democratic win and they are hoping for a change

 

[cvxfreak]

GO CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DarienA]

CNN IS REPORTING THAT KERRY TOOK CA! WHOO! 197-188... Bush look in your rear view mirror baby!

 

[Cimarron]

CALIFORNIA BIOTCHES!!!

My lil heart can't take more of this! Go Kerry Go!!!!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

CNN IS REPORTING THAT KERRY TOOK CA! WHOO!

thats a suprise? Don't the Dems ALWAYS take Cali?

 

[MIMIC]

OK, California cheered me up.

 

[Diablos]

This is it guys, you better be hoping and/or praying for an Ohio or Florida victory.

You cannot get too excited over Cali because dems ALWAYS win it. Kerry has to take his own states and THEN SOME if he wants to surpass Bush. So far, that isn't happening. Cali is kind of transparent in a way.

 

[belgurdo]

*checking CNN*

Good lord, so close. Why are we so split on this?

 

[AniHawk]

CALIFORNIA BIOTCHES!!!

HERE WE COME TO SAVE THE DAY!!

 

[MetatronM]

Kerry is back ahead in Michigan and Minnesota according to MSNBC.

It is now 207 - 199 in favor of Bush according to MSNBC.

CNN is showing 197 - 188 for Bush.

 

[cvxfreak]

HERE WE COME TO SAVE THE DAY!!

CALIFORNIA SAVED THE DAY

 

[Vgamer]

Bush just took Arizona according to MSNBC

 

[kevm3]

Sadly, I have an eery feeling bush is going to win this. Damn.

 

[Chesapeake Silt]

Wow... some people in Ohio have been in line for nine hours. People are still in line. This is fucked up. (NBC is reporting this.)

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

CNN has Kerry at 188!

Damnit, Canadian TV cut off the Daily Show for local news, I don't have Comedy Central

SAME!
I'd rather watch John than Lloyd "I look like a dead body" Robertson.

 

[Matt]

Kerry up by 6,000 in NH, I'm gonna go on a limb and call it for him. Anyone disagree?

 

[MetatronM]

Oregon votes entirely by mail?

I did not know that.

 

[Mason]

Some of the counties in FL better pull through.

[DECK'ARD]

That is ridiculous.

How can any legislator, in any nation, avoid having thier religious/moral beliefs affect the thier votes?

Well how about decisions regarding abortion, stem-cell research etc. are left to experts in those fields to draw up guidelines. And when laws need to be passed on morally contentious issues, the parliament is given a free-vote where there is no party line on the issue.

And because there is no party-line on these issues, they aren't used as political footballs in election campaigns. And people vote on all the issues rather than a single one like abortion.

Call it crazy, but it seems to work in the UK. And our political system and country doesn't seem as ridiculously divided as America seems. Mixing politics and religion just leads to more polarised views.

 

[Socreges]

OMG KERRY WON CALIFORNIA!!!

WHAT ABOUT NEW YORK??? COULD HE POSSIBLY TAKE NEW YORK, TOO????

And Illinois?? WHAT IS THE STATUS ON ILLINOIS????

Spoiler

 

[DarienA]

People are STILL voting in Ohio... some people have been standing in line for as much as NINE HOURS... WOW.

 

[Phoenix]

This is where the popular vote will flip... right here in California.

 

[Matt]

Wow, Michigan just got COMPLETELY inversed. I never thought Bush had much of a chance there, though.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

so have their been any upsets yet, or are both guys getting all the staes they were supposed to so far? Im assuming the battleground states are still all up for grabs?

 

[Iceman]

roofles.

btw, this is a momentous occasion in the history of the OT. MORE people are viewing OT threads than gaming forum threads right now. WOOT.

 

[cvxfreak]

We need more electoral votes.

 

[Duck of Death]

NINE hours!? Jesus. Democrat, Republican, or Independent, that is dedication for your country and your right to vote.

 

[Mason]

Some of the states were voting tonight on propositions to divide their electoral votes. I know it got defeated in Colorado, but what about the other states?!

Double post.

 

[DarienA]

Yahoo reporting that Michigan, and NH are trending Kerry. Kerry took Illinois.

 

[Phoenix]

So far 1% of the Nevada vote is for "None of these"

 

[MetatronM]

WTF...Fox News has yet to give Cali to Kerry.


The ACLU has filed a lawsuit in S. Florida asking to push back the deadline for domestic absentee ballots to Nov. 12, the deadline for overseas suits because they were late in arriving to voters in the first place.

 

[N Coward Parody]

I'm still amazed by how on-the-mark Zogby's been thus far. HOPE IS ALIVE.

Cuyahoga County, Ohio, could save Kerry's ass.

Kooch Country.

That'd be great if DK saved the day.
