The official election day 2012 thread: 11/6/12

My state is starting to seriously piss me off and embarass the fuck out of me.
Ban Same Sex Marriage

No 936,599
Yes 931,963

Less than 5,000 vote margin at 66% reporting. This is too fucking close.

And Bachmann is up by @1k at 70% reporting.

Sad

Puerto Rico voted in favour of statehood. I wonder how long it’ll take that to get through Congress.

Bachmann is up on Graves by just over 1,000 with 70% in.

If he loses by less than 1,000, I blame myself. I gave a little dough to his campaign, and he kept sending me emails begging for more, but I just kept ignoring him. shame

But he won Lieberman’s home state (Connecticut). Romney lost both. That’s a first.

Wow. Wasn’t expecting that tonight.

Never new this was happening. Thanks for the link.

Neither did I. I want to know more about this.

I never thought we’d get all 3 Noes (bachman, id, same
Sex marriage ban)

But I thought the one Minnesota would
Vote no on was the same sex marriage issue.

So, Allen West and Michele Bachmann’s races are both too close to call. Florida’s most odious amendments were voted down. Alan Grayson is back in office. Tammy Duckworth, Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown, and Claire McCaskill have won. Obama wins 300+ EVs and most likely a majority popular vote once the west coast gets added, exactly (?) according to Nate Silver’s projection. If I didn’t know better, I’d say Christmas came early, but maybe tomorrow will show Florida going to Obama as well, and Bachmann (R - Crazy) and West (R - Batshit) falling to their challengers.

:smiley:

A long time; I understand they are expected to be strongly Democratic, so you can expect the Republicans to do everything they can to stop it even on top of their normal intransigence.

C’mon Barack. Give your speech. It’s getting late.

Obama has a 500k popular vote lead, Ohio is beyond the margin for a recount.

CNN is still showing Indiana? (In) and North Carolina? (NC) as undecided but pale pink.

I hope Obama gets Florida as well - to see him over 330 would rock

Well done America, you done went and did the right thing

Arrogant Central Time Zoners.

“Hey, it’s only 12:30 here!”

Pale pink on the CNN map means the state has flipped from blue in 2008 to red in 2012. It does not mean undecided or weak.

They’re pink because they’re pickups from 2008.

For Florida, Romney needs to get better than 54% of the remaining vote to be able to catch up.

He’s on stage. It’s on!

Here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours… cool song for them to come out to!

My gosh, his older daughter is a beauty! Haven’t seen her in a while.
