Michigan, Ohio and Florida all leaning Bush according to YAHOO.com.

That coupled with the 17% figure of 18-29 year old voter and I feel extremely sick to my stomach.

PA for Kerry according to CBS. They also gave Specter PA Senate but Hoeffel is up by 8,000 on CNN with 65% in.

Think they jumped the gun with Specter...hopefully.

That is ridiculous.

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

How about the belief that "thal shall not kill"? What if some dude says that according to his religion of Nintendoism says that every November 15th, I am allowed to sacrafice one child-xbot to my God? Your votes to outlaw homicide are imposing your religious beliefs on me!! :mad:

THat bad. You are a bad man. A baaad, intollerant, zeallot! Let me worship Mario the Magnificant in peace.

Something like, say, gay marriage, isn't hurting anyone else. It doesn't involve murder. If you aren't imposing on anybody else's rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it shouldn't be up to anyone else to decide what you can do to make yourself happy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?!
