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)

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.

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 EditMoveDeleteIP
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.

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)

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.

Other predictions: (from ABC News)

New Jersey - democrat wins the Senate race (Lottenberger? the guy who replaces crazy Toricelli?)

In Kentucky, they are calling the US House of Reps seat going to the Republican.
