California is 0% in, but I heard it on FOX News so I'm dubious.

Less crying than 2008 I think.

Anyhow, here we are again. Presidential election. I wonder if anyone is going to cry this time around, because I seem to remember someone crying in 2008 (in joy). Either way, we won't know jack until what, 5 PM?
Time to hurry up and wait I suppose.

I rather doubt we'll have a clear answer for days yet- between the race being precariously close in some areas and large chunks of the northeast still reeling from Sandy, I expect we'll be seeing a bunch of lawsuits and accusations of fraud before we have a winner. T_T

Can someone tell me which 6 EV changed states? I thought I overheard that if Obama won the same states as last time he would have 6 fewer votes, is that true?

I'm sure it would be due to a change in population shift, is there some constitutional precedent that says there can only be 538 votes? Or are votes allocated on population as a per 1million which means the total number can increase?

I don't think it's so much constitutional precedent as people said "Alright, we got enough representatives."

Aaaand CNN is again fellating Romney as Diet FOX, claiming the economy is the only thing that matters to voters. I like the notion that women, gays and minorities are willing to sell their own asses out just so they can hear more jobs were created.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Wherever the representatives in the last census went went the electors.

So if I remember right Colorado and Texas each got an extra electoral vote, along with a few others I can't recall.

Don't quote me on that though.

Less than ten minutes and my own state of Kentucky will close its polls.

I'm going to take a bold step and predict it will go for Romney/Ryan.

I assume the total number can increase, because who just randomly picks 538 and has it set in stone? That's just crazy. But didn't the founding fathers say the electoral college will meet on the first Wednesday after the second Tuesday in December?
