Broward county reporting in, still 50% of Miami-Dade to report. And Santa Rosa, which may temper it.
Santa Rosa has population ~120000. That's not enough to temper Miami-Dade+Broward. But there might be enough scattered Romney votes across the state to force this to a recount

Is there a website that is careful about waiting until results are nearly final before 'calling' a state for a candidate? From what I've looked at so far it seems like 5 votes have been cast, 3 went to a candidate, and they call it, with 0.00001% reporting.
They have been polling people who have voted all day in all the important states. That's where they get their information. Not from votes being counted this very second.

The regulars in this thread were pretty settled weeks ago on who would win. It's sort of funny watching all these people who don't follow politics get distraught or excited or confused by it. I just lurked this thread for months now. Have a hard time trying to post, since I know jack squat when it comes to detailed economic policies, mostly.
same here, ive posted in sprinklings but ive looked at this page every single day
still not surprised at the results though

This has always been the way of it, well for at least as long as I've been alive. People are too impatient to wait until the dust settles so they just call states for whoever looks ahead with a tiny fraction of the votes in.

Hmm florida still has people in line waiting to vote O___O. Wow. Why did these people not mail in their votes? The vast majority of voter fraud is through miscounting Absentee ballots, it's probably the best idea not to if you want your vote to count. I find your proof lacking.
If there were hard evidence then it'd be instantly rooted, but live counting is under heavy surveillance and the staff at each polling station is usually too swamped to go fucking with ballots. It's more a logical conclusion (since voter fraud has and always will happen when there's this volume of voting).
Absentee ballots can literally just be "lost" in the mail before the election day even begins.

I'm just getting all my information from this thread and the CNN election map... probably not one of the most accurate representation on what is actually going on.

No, but I believe he said he is an economics student, which also explains the absence of a sense of humour.

The west coast hasn't closed yet. California, Washington and Oregon will probably be called as soon as they close and CA has a ton of electoral votes.

Politico's been pretty conservative in calling things. For example, as of this posting they haven't called PA yet.

One can hope that hes just posturing because if he does that then getting 60 votes back in senate by 2016 and house back is a possibility.
