BLUE PRECINCTS COME IN LATER(stop panicking)
I'm seeing alot of citations of counts with x % reporting and this forum goes apeshit.

The concentration of the population is really nuggeted(is that a word?) in the blue precincts. So what you see is alot of rural vote counts that come in rather easily.

You will not see some of the precincts counts soon because people are still in line, the votes are still being transported, and it just takes longer to count more populous areas in every state.

Take a deep breath on some of these counts. You are not seeing these urban centers being counted and they are the most concentrated portion of each battleground state's population.

1. So far no surprises on my end
Looking at my little 'russert type' paper, the states are going where I thought they would.

I'm all good here...just pass me a bong and I'll be fuckin' off the planet. :smoke:

3. *SLAP!* "Thanks, man, I needed that..."
It does not pay to be ignorant of the electoral college, I'm discovering...intellectually, I understand the numbers game, but its so UNNERVING to see Bush's no#s so high on the tally...

Thanks for the cooler head....I'll get the paper bag out.....:crazy:

5. BIG turnouts = LATE returns!
It goes with the territory. No matter what your voting infrastructure, it takes longer to conduct and tally a high-turnout election than a low-turnout election.

The better the turnout in our best districts, the longer it will take for our best districts to report.

This is what we wanted.

Remember:

BIG

and L a t e

beats small and early!
