Since I haven't started a thread in the elections folder I thought I'd start this one before anyone else.

Post results as they come in.

I'm afraid this is going to influence my vote (granted, that I cast last week), for I like to go with the winner.

LOL. You forgot that newspaper that is bi-monthly that
called Obama the winner because they won't have an
issue out until way after the election. Sunshine or something.
Forget the name of the newsrag.

I voted today, but my mind was made up at the Saddleback thing.
Actually, before that. But from that night, I was also voting "for"
McCain instead of just "against" Obama. LOL.

when will we most likely be able to know? when all the polls close, or could they predict it as most definitely even before the votes are all counted?

and what about if the loser demands a recount. we might have to wait a week!!

i cannot stand the suspense.

It depends on how close the voting result are. If it turns out to be a very close election, we may not know for sure until tomorrow. Or even next week if any states require recounts. I hope it's not that close.

It's really eerie here at work. We have a levy on the ballot. After so much fever pitch campaigning, the silence is deafening. It's as though everyone is holding their breath around here.

Well, according to the article this was the first time since 1968 that they leaned Democratic in an election. I don't feel like working out what their percentage would be.

Their polls should close in a few hours....

I was told that a vote for Bob Barr or any of the "other" candidates would swing to Obama because they don't in and of themselves stand a chance of winning. My question is, will those "other" votes, swing any of these possible real swing states?

I read on National Review that Dixville Notch is wrong every 16 years. The last time they were wrong was 1992 when they chose Bush over Clinton. It looks right according to a cursory glance at wikipedia. If the article said they had not voted democrat since 1968, it would be wrong as they voted for Clinton in 1996.

I really wish the media would not call a state winner until the votes are counted. There is no way they could possibly know the actual vote count 1 minute after the polls close. It really makes you feel like you have wasted your time and effort because the media knew it before polls closed. It just does not feel right.

I hope it is exit polls because the polls have not closed yet. Which means all those votes will be tossed because it is a violation to start counting votes before the polls close.

ok i think you are right,, i believe it all closes starting in a half hour, thru the next hour (some at 6:00, and some at 7:00).

its amazing that they can count all the votes in a short time..

what time will they announce who is the winner for president? and what time zone is that? like im on central time, and im hoping they will announce it by 9:00 pm. central time.

the way the candidates spent all the millions of dollars on their own campaigns, and i dont think the job of president pays that much ,, wonder if the non-winner will spend a long time recouping the losses. they might have even spent more in their campaign than the job will pay. does anyone know?

That's the problem! The votes are not counted. It is the media's estimate based on the exit polls.
