United States Presidential Election 2012

i502 and CO64 actually look like they have a chance of passing. crazy times.

like i said in the random thoughts thread, it'll be pretty awkward if they pass and romney wins

No dif between Mittens and Barry O on that issue, anyone involved gets SWATted + hard federal time.

[pandabear]

I want to dance with the Peruvian shamans, eat coca leaves, praise the apus, and assault Romney's picture/anyone with maracas. And shake my ass.

Obama wins Florida?

He's got about a 6,000 vote lead

good to see you're as paranoid as ever

there's actually a huge difference. a federal injunction+authorization for action on that level would be a massive and costly step wrapped up inside of a PR nightmare, especially on a general ballot issue that gets the popular vote across multiple states. it would get the issue out into the open for the first time and they couldn't ignore it anymore.

the situation under a 2nd term Barry would be infinitely better than a 1st term Mitt

[espire]

are 'early votes' counted at the same time as the other (regular) votes or how does it work?

[knell]

early votes and districts pools are counted as votes are received, so the short answer is yes

however, they call the election before they've even counted all of the votes in a couple of different ways, both on the local level (districts) and state level (electoral college), so there will be a winner before all of the votes are technically counted (can go into a recount if things get extremely close)

[espire]

154/153 Electoral College votes atm in favor of Romney
This shit is gonna be deadlocked all night

[deadly_habit]

And it just changed again 157/154 Obama now

Sure, but when you consider the ways most of the swing states are leaning, Obama pretty much has shit on lock

Wisconsin was called for Obama, without that Romney really needs to get Colorado, which happens to be leaning moderately to Obama

Without those two it's EVEN more difficult for Romney to hit 270 than it already was. Factor in the fair lead Obama has in Ohio, and it's looking really solid. Plus California which is an instant giant boost

Not to mention the tiny lead Obama has in Florida, which he doesn't necessarily need (but Romney almost can't win without at this point)

[dickman69]

If Romney loses by just Ohio, I wonder the chance he pulls an Al Gore

[wilson]

Really happy for Elizabeth Warren.

[Phigure]

What would "pulling an Al Gore" entail

Glad to hear Warren won too, Brown is a shitcunt

[dickman69]

win popular vote & lose electoral vote
