Live Election Tracker
As the first exit polls start trickling in, readers can keep track of the live action with the following handy maps, selected from various websites. As a reminder, exit polls are about as predictable as any other polling 'data point' based on +/-4% error margin sampling, which in turn is virtually every data point used to feed Garbage In, Garbage Out "predictors", "simulators" and other "black boxes" which forecast the future with triple digit "accuracy." Simply said, in an election in which the margin of difference in the key electoral states (not to mention the popular vote) is far narrower than the error rate, take everything you have heard about the final outcome and burn it, or sell it and buy several Stat 101 credits at the local community college.

I'm selling gasoline for sex on craigslist. Got a few inquiries from some ladyboys but that's about it. I heard it works in NY so I'm tryin it down here in FL.
It doesn't work in NY. I've tried.
They never hand over the gasoline when you're done.
They said e-lec-tion, not e-rec-tion.
OK, if the speaker was Chinese, you've a 50% chance of grabbing the right 'lever'.
Big night...a 2 drool cup night for Chris Matthews.

It's the end of an error.
And the beginning of a new one?
I don't see what you are getting at.
My comedy is very sophisticated.
Then you must be British. In which case stop commenting on our elections, we kicked your asses off the continent just so we wouldn't have to listen to your smarmy jabs regarding our quaint colonial disfunctionality, thank you.
If you are not British, then do carry on.
Meh - we already know who lost...

Romney has 0% chance of winning. The GOP fucked themselves and earned the loss fair and square. What a piece of shit they tried to push over on the American people.
They didn't really want it this time and fielded a ringer. Everyone knows that whichever party is in office during the next four years will become extinct before 2016.
Mitt was a good choice. The Evangelicals are happy their guy got traction. Wall Street will remember who had their back. All that will play well later.
Obama is gonna get seriously fried. Who knows, it might get bad enough that he winds up impeached.
Seriously, anything could happen but most of the things I can think of are all seven kinds of ugly.
Evangelicals are happy with Romney? What? Their guy?
I know quite a few, they all think he's a cultist and those who do vote for him only do so because they completely hate Obama.
i don't know any evangelicals. nor would i ever want to.
Oh, I think there are lots of things and people you don't know and don't ever want to. I suspect your circle consists entirely of effete urban twerps with no useful productive skills whatsoever- your comment makes you seem yet another "tolerant and enlightened" pseudo sophisticate who can only be around people exactly like themselves while proclaiming your openmindedness to all like most collectivists with third rate minds.
I'll bet you make all manner of noise about diversity, yet shrink from it at every turn. I know all sorts of people, makes life more interesting.
Nothing speaks to Obama's lack of judgement more than keeping Biden a heartbeat from the Presidency.
We would be better off with Biden.
At least we'd have a non-Muslum, American born president.
Biden is VP ???
thought he was an after-dinner speaker!
Don't you realize that that Kenyan Muslim crap was devised to let you hate Obama without hating his policies because those policies are promoted by all politicians, both red and blue, and must not be questioned?
Does anyone think the Fox News pundits want a Mitt win? What will they complain about without a loss?
And the NPR/CBS/NBC/MSNBC/ABC/PBS/CNN pundits want an Obama win, what's new? Only difference is O is the Soros franchise of the Progressives, Romney not so much.
It'll be worth Romney getting elected just to see Chriis Mathew's head explode on TV.
King, ay?!? Well I didn't vote for you...

Hey, every vote for Gary Johnson matters!!!!!
I'm here in Florida and just voted for Johnson. Two immediate positive impacts?
1)I came home and did not have a perplexing need for a brillo pad shower.
2)I will be able to sleep soundly tonight knowing that I did not vote for any quantifiable degree of evil.

Why doesn't Canada get to vote? We coud change our name to North North Dakota. You know we have a stake in this fight.
The whole world has a stake in this fight, but the fight has already been rigged.
In due course, in due course Canada will get the same vote as the inmates in Gitmo - all that water and all that oil ripe for the picking
Absolutely not, because you live on our oil supply you need to be a "them". I am sorry to inform you that in a few years it will be decided that you are in fact Muslim terrorists bent on destroying our freedom.

Major betting exchanges tend to be good guides.
Currently (7:30 EST) on Betfair:
Obama – 24/100
Romney – 4/1
Romney appears to be losing. Thoughts.
He must be relieved?
relieving yourself is a good analogy to the political process
Only 2-24% reporting so far...depending on the states. Fla will be Mitt by four (at least, by my guess) though now (with only 24% of precincts counted) he appears to be losing.
The panhandle is heavy GOP and from about Panama City westward is in a different time zone. When you see it close at 8:00 EST (they are central time) you can call it for Mitt safely because ALL those votes will come pouring in.
They'll be 80% Red ;-)
How dare Romney panhandle. The man is a millionaire!
So is O'Barry ;-)

Actually, CSPAN has the Prez, Congress and Senate results flashing quite quickly along with %'s in. With mute on, it is quite pleasent compared to the bloviating gasbags on the MSM channels blubbering their idiot opinions.

futures down USD bid, the Obama rally last gasp, to be replaced by the Romney's (or Obama's) relief sell off due.
Tasty.
Gold was down $10 a little earlier.
The Romney USD bid trade, he gets this, and stocks will sell. Obama gets this again and stocks will sell. The market will profit take either way, although slightly more on a Romney win. But the sucker looks punched.
IMO.
Hmm close, very close...so far.

Watching ABC News....it's cool to see how serious ppl are about this election.
I'm sure the negotiations are finished and the next prez has been selected (not elected).....this is all just ratings bullshit now for the fed owned media.
YOU CANNOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THE MSM POLLS are reporting, if we have learned ONE thing, the MSM, has/is sold out to the LEFT, always has been, always will be.
THE REASON, their SO called Journalists, and reporters were taught by Marxist/Socialist/Left Wing/Progressive Profs.
You cannot make an educated case for anything, when you have been brainwashed since 18yrs old.( and attended their schools of arrested development).
You mean "sold out to the Left as though this is actually a real contest of diametrically opposed ideologies?"
I did not know that.
Verum dic iis qui potestatem habent.
There is a site for you called Free Republic that is open 24 hours a day.
MSM is of the corporate, by the corporate, and for the corporate.
Romney appears to be toast in Ohio. Not polling as strong as Mcain in 08 in counties already reporting decent percentages.
Florida aint looking all that great either. Could pull out Va. I'm smelling four more years
Well, if so, the ensuing four years of chaos won't be boring - as long as you don't listen to any of his speeches, of course.
Well played. However I think the years would not have been boring whoever won it. Excitement is pretty well baked into the cake, as they might say.
Word up.
Can one still say that?
No matter how hard I try to anchor my reality, I keep reading about "excrement cakes..."
Currently (8:03 EST) on Betfair:
Obama – 9/100
Romney – 9.5/1
Think a racehorse with a five length lead nearing the wire.
Look at the bright side, if Obama wins the market will crash. If Romney wins, we will start a nuclear war! So it's a win win!
i haven't received my CBRN gear from the UPS man yet - bummer, dude
luv zh but the retards are out tonight
see ya tomorrow
Im calling NC for the incompetant. Or should I say incumbent. Fucking Romney and his treatment of Rp. The country gets more obama phones. Ohio gave Mitt the big finger too. This thing is over.
I voted in VA at 6:00 am this morning and the 100+ in line were majority special interest groups. They obviously weren't voting out of love of country, but how much they can take from you. For all you NE liberals, voting for a black guy won't keep the torches and pitchforks off your doorstep.
My gold, silver and vote for Ron Paul are all secure. So life is good

They've already got him strapped into three layers of Depends®.
The only thing we had to vote on here of real signifiance is Amendment 64, marijuana regulated like alcohol.
For all the bullshit of late, this at least is something to look forward to in terms of change. The amendment is not perfect, but its about fucking time our police are relieved of the duty to arrest pot smokers.
On a national level, it will be interesting to see how Congress behaves now that it is not politically expedient for the TeaParty to go against anything the next president proposes.
Then again, there may still be plenty to resist no matter who the next WH pResident is.
.
I'd have taken the time to vote if I could have voted for that.
We'd be better off with a Pot Party than a Tea Party.
Like four years ago this election will find many Obama stooges crying; this time for a very different reason.
Election results will not be known until next week. This is after the Supreme Court issues an emergency ruling on voting violations

wanted to post this here as well, jill stein was listed on the oregon ballot as being a member of the 'pacific' green party, also, i like how google is reporting numbers for 3rd party candidates.
she had some good points on her site.. if i couldn't write in Ron Paul I would of threw her a bone. She is worth putting on the radar.. they call it the Green/Rainbow party over here. Not sure where the Rainbow part came from..didnt know they bothered with a party.. I thought the Green party was big enough on its own
do you mean colloquially? rainbow? something else would be quite different..
looks like they added a bunch of real rainbow issues into the fold .... not sure why, I havent followed the Green party in years http://www.green-rainbow.org/platform
It's over Pa, Mi. Oh, seals it for Obama.
Going to be fun.
.
That has consequences. It is somehow funny. What, it is another question.
Truly? So as usually, when the result does not come, that will because they have a communauty phenomenum of USD emission. From the start.
Much funny ensues, leads to weird results. It suddenly grows different from when done on the government state.
This give openings to these kind of weirdos, while disagreeing with US citizen MO, have their fun denying the innuendos. The impossibility to self indict leads to the face saving mettle, the weirdest result. It cannot mask the terror in their eyes when one mentions the rampage of the vengeful Yeti in eternal pursuit of retribution. No refund.
"CNN took a Final Exit Poll at the Our Lady of Perpetual Hope and Change Cemetery just outside of Chicago and the poll shows Obama capturing the silent majority of voters at 97% to Romney's 3%, with 62% of the caskets now reporting."
Mama 2 kids and no daddy around. Mama gets $700 in EBT benefits alone, doesn't work and lives in a house. Each month she sells up to $200 of these benefits for $100 cash. How does she do it? She simply gives the person their EBT card and pin number and this person simply brings the card back or mama can simply claim it as lost. It's a nice little system for the working family too that is having a hard time making ends meet as you can see. Info is from a "white" neighborhood

uh oh, a double blast..
Just split this damn country: "United" is something these states have never been. People will grow to dread working as tax slaves for a gov. who has about 6% of it's population behind bars (gulag like) as they debase the currency without question through printing for redistribution for 47% and the central government's cronies.
I'm all for a split, with a moat, with alligators in it and a wall behind...the wall guarded by men who shoot at everything but alligators.

"How It Could Happen" http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com/
I'll check it out, thanks...on the face of it, sounds like a great idea who's time has come again.
Quite so. There was a brief period with a feeling of commonality after WWII but it was fleeting and is now entirely over. We are separate nations bound together by force and a common currency, it would be best for all to end the charade.

My write-in for Ron Paul didn't make the slightest bit of difference in my state (like I said months ago, fuck that meme that "A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Obama"...I knew the sheep in my state were gonna keep voting for the dude that gives 'em the free shit), but at least my conscience is clear...I didn't vote for Kang or Kodos. Not that it matters, since I still be an intergalactic slave cracking open rocks for the rest of my life, heh.

Obama is gonna win. Much higher deficits and more food stamps, section 8s, welfare and lower pay.
The US is becoming a crap hole like Brazil. Kids aspire to become soccer players or Samba dancers.
