JUST started counting.

Edit: Changed link to reflect better table.

1. FL's all electronic, right?

Don't they just have to press a button?

[DoYouEverWonder]

18. No, most of the state uses optical scanners

It the southern part of the state that had the most trouble in 2000, that went with touch screens.

[sugargoose]

2. how can * be that far ahead? n/t

[Astrochimp]

5. ???? 5000 votes with 0.5% reporting is "that far ahead"????? N/T

[StickNCA]

3. The site numbers weren't encouraging

[BurtWorm]

4. Folks, only a very tiny percentage of the votes have been counted.

These numbers mean next to nothing at this moment.

[StickNCA]

8. Yeah, but

The Seante race is nearly a virtual tie 48.4 vs. 48.8 so it doesn't seem skewed as per district

[BurtWorm]

11. It's still only a very, very tiny amount. Less than 1%.

You can't judge based on that small a sampling how it will turn out.

[KTM]

6. Especially since it was last updated an hour from now.

:evilgrin:

Someone forgot to set their clock back...

[derbstyron]

7. Relax

the northern (read: conservative) counties report first. Central (THE most important) and Southern come later.

[Oddman]

28. exactly . . .

[blondeatlast]

9. 21% of a single COUNTY? Ooh, I'm scared.

Relax, gang, rrelax.

[timeforachange]

10. early results

are coming from PASCO county.

[requiem99]

12. The results will start pouring in in the next few minutes. NT

[Catfight]

13. It is not close, this is so fucking stupid...would the Bush TV whores

fucking be reporters and not fucking sensationalist. Geesh..who can I watch that at least attempts to act like news reporters?

[robertozucco]

14. 0.9% reported

* = 45,292 (53.6%)
Kerry = 38,168 (45.1%)

These figures mean nothing - too small a sample.

[newyawker99]

39. Hi robertozucco!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[timeforachange]

15. county by county results

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. I can't look! I'm afraid!

:scared:

[Clinton Crusader]

17. ..

:puke: I cant stand this

[robertozucco]

19. 1.8% reported

* = 78,331
Kerry = 59,609

56.1% - 42.7%

[requiem99]

20. CALM DOWN. Miami-Dade is where we completely clean up.

[Orlandodem]

23. Add Broward and Palm Beach to that n/t

n

[demwing]

21. Florida is NOT the Big One!

Florida should be fought over, but never counted on.

Take it for granted that Florida goes to Bush. Kerry wins by maintaining the Gore 2000 states and adding Ohio, or Colorado and New Hampshire

[requiem99]

24. If we win Florida, we win the election. NT.

It IS the big one, for us to win. If we lose it, it sucks, but not a big blow, but if we do win, it is over.

[sonicx]

27. no way. i say we get it!

[robertozucco]

22. 3.1%

* = 138,614 (56.9%)
Kerry = 102,490 (42.1%)

[disneyboy]

25. Sorry

But to me THATS NOT GOOD! 56 - 42 is HUUUUUUUUGE.

[blondeatlast]

29. Better hang out in the Lounge for a while then, Gonna be a LONG

night if you're in this state already.

[robertozucco]

30. Patience

We haven't got to our zones yet. This is a temporary imbalance.

[requiem99]

31. Heh, either an idiot or a... sniff sniff...

56-42 means nothing until the democratic areas get counted. If we're down 56-42 after Miami-dade county is counted we've lost florida, but it ain't over until we get our big areas counted.

[Zero Gravitas]

32. long way yo go

Heavily Repub north gets the results in quicker than the Dem south (smaller counties with fewer votes to count in the North)

[Scurrilous]

34. 0% reporting from Dade, Broward, and P. Beach...

...yeah, I'm worried. :crazy:

[okieinpain]

26. who the hell wasted 1300 votes on nader. dumb ass's

[robertozucco]

33. 4.5%

* = 206.768 (60.2%)
Kerry = 133,212 (38.8%)

[Orlandodem]

35. 7:50 PM and Madison Co is VERY close.

Madison is part of the conservative panhandle near GA. That's actually a good sign.

[requiem99]

36. Yes, a VERY good sign.

[robertozucco]

37. 9.3%

* = 401.732 (57.1%)
Kerry = 295,210 (42%)

[Touchdown]
