(3,596 posts)if they are anything less than that then they ignore the significant electoral win. Then they look at the popular vote and say it is only 3% but disavow how many people that represents.
Trust me if Robme had won by that much they would be calling it a landslide but not if it is a Democrat.

(26,123 posts)I would think if the state's ballots are now certified, that means they found no 'shenanigans' in his district.
Of course, I doubt he will every actually concede - I could see him showing up, next term, trying to claim his seat, even though Patrick Murphy will be sitting on it. I'm guessing his middle name is 'Delusional'.

(3,626 posts)even though he doesn't have a leg to stand on and he's been denied by one judge already. I agree, he won't concede. I'll expect to see him with his hand on his own Bible, taking his oath alongside the legitimate legislative winners. (That would be a hoot, actually!)

(26,123 posts)He should realize he's probably guaranteed a new job - on Fox "News". I understand Sarah Palin's spot is available.

(1,384 posts)47% for Mitt. Oh, the irony!
Poor Romney. That 47% came back to BITE HIM!

(653 posts)for example, in CA:
http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/president/
Barack Obama (DEM) 5,958,059 59.2%
Mitt Romney (REP) 3,870,455 38.5%
On Huff Post for CA:
Barack Obama 5,863,499 59.1% (missing nearly 100,000 Obama votes)
Mitt Romney 3,816,757 38.5%
But it's getting close and might only shift a decimal point in the margin.
other examples
There are half a million ballots not yet counted in AZ
There are tens of thousands, if not more, of provisional ballots in OH that won't start to get counted for nearly a week - even though Ohio reports 100% complete.
Oregon & WA are not finished. There are other states that are not 100%.
Bush got 62,040,606 in 2004. I'd like to see Obama pass him to help deal with the mandate argument. I'll let you know if and when he does.

(15,262 posts)Popular vote:
Obama 69,456,897
McCain 59,934,814
McCain still ahead of Romney by 1,452,740
SunSeeker
(51,295 posts)That should push Romney down even further in the popular vote.

(7,390 posts)As of Friday night Arizona still had 172,000 provisional and another 400,000 absentee ballots to count. The odds are high that the mostly Hispanic provisional ballots will be tossed. The election official in Maricopa County said those voters did not come to the polls prepared. They came prepared to vote and were simply shooed over to the provisional ballot line.

(5,588 posts)1994 was a big republican year and he missed that wave. Overall, Romney is just a horrible candidate.
