U.S. Politics: Official 2012 Freakout Thread (Mk. I)

Florida has actually reported a quarter of its votes and Obama leads by 90k. These are mainly democratic leaning though, so we'll still have a close race.

Obama seems to be holding his numbers in those areas though. What will be interesting is how much Romney is outperforming McCain in the more rural areas.

An example is Duvall county which McCain carried with 51% and Bush carried by much more in the two previous elections. Romney's performing about as will as McCain there which doesn't say much but it shows that Florida will be close. Alot of the indicators look similar to 2008 in the battlegrounds, but then again, they were all close elections statewide. Turnout could mean more than percentages.

O_o you mean a quarter of districts have started reporting? FL is still only at 1% of votes reported

Sam Wang wants people to calm down:

7:40 pm. OK, guys – listen…Exit polls don’t tell you anything – they can be off, and get adjusted later to match actual returns. They are a research tool for the media to construct stories.

Also, large states like VA – these are too large to give accurate results in the early evening. Watch NH.

Breaking News: Bernie Sanders has won re-election in Vermont.

I am not making this up. Just announced.

This is the kind of thing that didn't particularly need to be announced. No one expected it to go otherwise. ;)
