Less than a week to go, early voting is already underway, so I figured it was a good time to start this thread.Results website to watch on election day:http://results.enr.clarityelections.com/NC/22580/35828/en/summary.htmlAlthough we don't know who people are voting for, we actually have some elections results for people who have voted so far in terms of demographics & party affiliation:ftp://www.app.sboe.state.nc.us/ENRS/absentee11xx02xx2010_Stats.pdf

Bump for election day!966 of 9,092 Libertarians have voted so far.
11/2/2010 6:12:20 AM
Make that 967, I'm in line with my comrade obama tee shirt over my work clothes. Based on the hybrid vehicle I saw parked outside I think my vote already got cancelled out though.

I'm curious to see how prop 19 does.
11/2/2010 7:12:46 PM
Portman takes Ohio - not a shocker.
11/2/2010 7:31:04 PM
Im curious what CNN is basing their declaration of Coons as winner in Delaware on if both candidates have 0% of the vote so far.

^ It takes very little sample size to call a race, especially if the sample matches expected percentages. They become harder to call when a candidate is doing much better than expected in an area. It just takes broad, small samples to make clear victory calls.FYI, your typical opinion poll for a national issue samples 1000 people. That's a really easy sample size to hit during an election.[Edited on November 2, 2010 at 8:44 PM. Reason : .]

Sadly the evil Richard Burr has returnedalso I fully expect another 2012 campaign to "Bring Back Baron" in the district where I went to college
11/2/2010 9:09:48 PM
I'm not a republican but Rand Paul's speech from KY was really good.
11/2/2010 9:12:44 PM
damn, richard burr is mediocre.Democrats going to get raped
11/2/2010 9:13:13 PM
so how many 3rd party candidates actually won?
11/2/2010 9:13:30 PM
Don't blame me, I voted for the soldier.Awww the witch lost. I want to call Hannity tomorrow and laugh at him after he swore today that she'd win.
11/2/2010 9:22:28 PM
that cuban guy wins and immediately makes some statement about why christianity is supreme to everything, this is what makes me scared of conservatives in this country
11/2/2010 9:43:43 PM
Don't blame me, I voted for the cold-blooded killer.
11/2/2010 9:50:50 PM
^^so basically conservatism is what makes you scared of conservativesnot that there's anything wrong with that, I too believe that conservatism is inherently evil
11/2/2010 9:58:07 PM
The incumbents cleaned up.

holy shit PA - sestak and toomey are only 7k votes apart....

Ellmers!

Damn it! The state senate went to social conservative control. Last time they only took to the 2nd day of the session to introduce the anti-marriage for gay couples amendment.We were the only state in the south without one. Not any more. We'll probably lose the step towards comprehensive sex ed too since it was unanimously opposed by the GOP.
11/2/2010 10:50:11 PM
loving this

11/2/2010 10:53:45 PM
toomey is pulling ahead... i can't tell if it's the bigger cities that are still left to count or if it's the outlying areas....
11/2/2010 11:03:01 PM
outlying areasNate Silver projects that if the trend continues, Toomey will end up winning by about 30,000 votes
11/2/2010 11:11:10 PM
the biggest question is how many absentee ballots that there are

its the age demographic and nothing else.they will never get that passed in the next 10-15 years until the old folks die and stop voting.
11/3/2010 12:44:29 AM
And yet a shred of sanity remains although I will miss continuing to say Sharron "Obtuse" Angle. I, too, would like to see Chuck as the Majority Leader.
11/3/2010 12:50:23 AM
pretty good night for the repubs
11/3/2010 12:51:50 AM
Someone pushed the wrong button in Colorado...the vote total in Boulder County was just a minute ago 54,374 Bennett (D), 23,827 Buck (R)...but now FoxNews and 538 now both showing 64,185 Buck and 55,186 Bennett...now all of the outlets are showing this. No way it is correct, Boulder county is one the biggest Dem strongholds in the state. I wonder how long it will take them to fix it?[Edited on November 3, 2010 at 1:00 AM. Reason : .]

i just think it's hilarious how crazy the conservatives went about trying to oust harry reid and he still won
11/3/2010 7:45:46 AM
If they haven't picked Angle - they might have had a chance
11/3/2010 8:06:14 AM
11/3/2010 8:30:39 AM
11/3/2010 8:38:38 AM
Or Reid.
11/3/2010 8:46:13 AM
Him too.
11/3/2010 8:57:59 AM
Things got moved around and now Ron Paul is the chair of the Monetary Policy Subcommitee.should make things interesting
11/3/2010 1:14:12 PM
Nice. That won't keep the Fed from shitting out (at minimum) another 500 billion though.
