Twiggyish | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 03:53 pm     Why not have our own unofficial election result forum? We can just list the major issues or candidates, as we see them roll in. List the time and the result. For ex: Candidate: John Doe ahead by 58% 9:00pm Florida (or state where election is being held) |
Moderator | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 03:54 pm     Let's have ONLY the results as they come in. No debate! No Commentary! Only the results as you see them in your areas. Please indicate the area you are in when reporting the results. |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 03:56 pm     Yes, exactly! Thanks Mod. It will make it easier. |

Hillbilly | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 04:06 pm     Goddess...can you give how many precints have reported as well? Such as ....10% of precincts reporting? |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 04:11 pm     Sure - I'll try. They're reporting actual number of votes counted as opposed to % in so far. Will get on it as soon as they report percentages. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 04:15 pm     Indiana: Steve Buyer (R), District 4, leading at 66% after 13% of precincts reporting. Dan Burton(R), District 5, leading at 70% after 12% of precincts reporting. (Neither of these Republicans were expected to lose their Congressional seats) |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 04:25 pm     Indiana 7th District: Carson 50% Buyer 47 % after 55% of precincts reporting. OMG!! Garcon!!! |

Twiggyish | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:02 pm     Jeb still holding the same lead. |
Marysafan | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:23 pm     With 25% of the vote...CNN.com reports Bush 59% McBride 40% |
Karuuna | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:32 pm     CNN predicts that Jeb Bush will hold onto Florida governorship. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:33 pm     Drudge calls Florida for Bush - first reelection of Republican governor. |
Hillbilly | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:37 pm     How can you call it with only 25% of the vote, dagnabit? |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:37 pm     How about any other Eastern states, any other sure wins? |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:41 pm     That's true Hillbilly. |
Misslibra | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:42 pm     Jennifer Granholm (D) is predicted to win the Governors race in Michigan. YAY!! |
Misslibra | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:45 pm     Can't remember the percentages in the Michigan race. It was a quick news flash. |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:46 pm     While I was about to leave for work thsi morning, the folks on Good Morning America (ABC) said that ABC would not do any exit polling, nor any predictiosn about who would win--they would only report the numbers as they became available. I wish the other netwoks would be respectful enough to do the same--looks like they just can't resist. |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:47 pm     Adding my Yay, MisL! |
