This is incredibly unlikely, so I guess it depends on your own personal feel for the word "safe". | ||

His only hope was to have the polls systematically biased against him, and in FL they gave him a narrow edge to tie situation. If he loses by .5% of the vote, it's possible...maybe...if he dramatically overperforms in PA and a couple other key places (maybe NV, though given Obama's early voting edge it may be insurmountable there). It's just unlikely that only the FL polls would have been accurate and the others would have been off by so much. | ||

There was so much fuss in Florida 12 years ago over whether absentee ballots had the proper postage and what should be done with them. But yeah, as ey215 says, pretty much everything surrounding voting laws and regulations varies by state so there can't be any catch-all answer to this question. | ||

I wonder how they're estimating it. | ||

Politico and ABC aren't using it, but there's no way that 35% of the vote in Florida is reported already. I wonder how they're estimating it. I think they estimate it relative to the number of votes from previous years. Probably using the '08 numbers or tweaking them for voter enthusiasm. | ||

i really disagree with what he said. its essentially the reverse of what republican said about medicare reform-- kicking the can down the road. besides, aren't the people we elect supposed to represent our better selves and do what we need rather than what we want and drag us into the future whether we want it or not? | ||

He's not yet overperforming Obama enough in the rural counties, just from eyeballing it. Only 7% in though, so it's not that meaningful. | ||
