Yeah, nothing at all has really happened yet, Bush leads 39-3 right now, but all of the states so far have gone to the person they were expected to, so it's no big deal yet. We'll wait for Ohio because that is huge.

Edit: Zogby predicted Kerry to win with 311 Electoral votes but for Bush to win the Popular vote. Wouldn't that be just perfect?

Edit 2 : Latest projections have it at 77-66 for Kerry. All the NE states started rolling in and obviously most are for Kerry.

So far only 2% of precincts accross the nation are reporting........ Although the current numbers still have me worried :p

Though CBS noted that of course it's very early, and also many of those votes counted so far came from areas Bush was expected to win anyways.......

Virginia's apparently too close to call, and it was expected to go to Bush... Hasn't gone democratic in long time... *crosses fingers*

Coming up in a few minutes a lot more states close the polls...

Edit: Man, Dan Rather is awesome...

Bush 102, Kerry 77

Still nothing special. Battlegrounds haven't clocked in yet.

*edit* Zogby has been predicting Kerry winning for a long time now. Just thought you would like to know.

Kerry will make a big comeback when California's 55 votes kick in. :p

As for me, I had to wait about five minutes. :unsure:

I was wondering where the challengers and the long lines would be. I even brought reading (I've been assigned to read Bush v. Gore for class tomorrow). But I just went in there, showed my ID and then pulled the levers. It was kind of disappointing.

Well, my first time was great. I walked in and was out the door five minutes later. With a sense of accomplishment in one hand, and an 'I Voted Sticker' in the other, I feel proud to have made an impact in the election. My vote counts and my opinion is important.

Ya, your vote counts alright. Inless the popular vote dosent agree with the electoral college like in 2000.

In this case your vote dosent count.

*end rant on me not liking the entire electoral college concept*

UPDATE

Bush: 195 Kerry: 112

But, as has been said, California basically makes Kerry 170, so its still very close.

So far, still no word from battlegrounds.

F*ckin right, Optimus would own some serious house. The first president of the United States that can transform into a transport truck.
