Nice site to monitor election state by state
 

This is pretty cool.

It will be updated on an ongoing basis. You can even check the results going all the way back to 1948.

Mr Mephisto

Hey thats real cool Mr M thanks!!!

BBC at that.....yup, just closed the CNN map, gonna go with this one

The Past Elections tab is especially interesting. For example, did you know an independent got just under 10,000,000 votes and the electoral college votes of four states in 1968? An independent?!

It's fun to hit the "Play" button and see how states have swung from Rep to Dem (or vice versa) over the past few years.

I know some of you don't like BBC, but it generally does good stuff.


Mr Mephisto

i like their site, its already updating

Wow. It even has a new data download popup. Nice.

nice site
kentucky dip shits voted for nater, they should be beaten like cheap whores

Were Kentucky and Indiana expected to go to Bush?


Mr Mephisto

what the fuck now the brits are showing won results with NO PRECINCTS reported. Damn fish and chip eaten toothless slobs

yes they were.

a good site... http://www.electoral-vote.com/

If you read the words (and take your eyes off the pretty little pictures) you will see that these are projections.

Sheesh...


Mr Mephisto

That is great, thanks! I will now be glued to my computer.

Mr Mephisto[/QUOTE]

based on what? fish and chips?

I think we killed the site :(

I figured it has been pieced together from sugar packets and the backs of highly informative cereal boxes. They probably update it before they can get all the information in, that's my geuss anyway.

Still works fine for me.

I like it.


Mr Mephisto

The BBC site seems to either be slow in updating their information, or they're getting their information from a different source than C-SPAN:

http://network.ap.org/dynamic/files/...CTION=POLITICS

or....they are waiting to post accurate results

They're getting their information from Associated Press.

"The AP are the sole organisation responsible for providing the results for the major American media networks. The information they provide will form the basis for election results but different broadcasters may decide to interpret partial results in different ways."

Mr Mephisto

The link I posted is on AP's website. So....

Hey Bling, I wasn't arguing with you. Just posting the link to the Q&A.

:)

Mr Mephisto

That independent was Mr. George Wallace, and he ran on a pro-segregation, anti-civil rights platform. In other words, he got the racist vote.

No worries. I'm just confused.

Maybe because it is AP's website, it's getting the numbers quicker.

Here are the 6 pm exit poll results:

Kerry Bush

PA 53 46
FL 51 49
NC 48 52
OH 51 49
MO 46 54
AR 47 53
MI 51 47
NM 50 49
LA 43 56
CO 48 51
AZ 45 55
MN 54 44
WI 52 47
IA 49 49

The only surprise state so far is New Jersey which went to Kerry.

Will that make a difference?


Mr Mephisto
