Official election results

[Bartholomew Roberts]

As of this moment, Bush has won Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, and South Carolina.

Gore wins Vermont.

MSNBC exit polling shows popular vote 56% to 43% for Bush!

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Florida is back in play - Bush takes Missouri, West Virginia and New Hampshire!

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Actual results of popular vote:

Bush 50%
Gore 48%

Projections show Bush leading electoral vote as well with 217 and Florida in play.

 

[TheBluesMan]

Well, nothing will be "official" for days probably.

This will make a good "official update thread" though.

270 electoral votes needed to win.

Currently:

Bush: 217
Gore: 167

Florida was originally projected to go to Gore, but Bush now holds a 51% to 46% lead in that state.

Glad L&P is back up and running. Thanks Rich!

California polls close in a little less than half an hour.

With Florida still up for grabs, California seems like it will be the determining factor in this election.

 

[George Hill]

Hillary won New York.

For all NY TFL members. My condolences.

 

[beemerb]

Hillary winning sure makes my respect for NYers drop to the way bottom of the sh*t pile.I do exclude all TFL members from NY of course and invite them to move to AZ.You will be welcome here.

California goes to Gore with its 54 electoral votes.

Of course they said the same thing about Florida earlier...

CNN (that anchor of finality) Projection

Bush wins Colorado

Bush: 225
Gore: 230

Bush is leading Gore in Florida by ~150,000 votes.

If he wins that, he's in the home stretch and pullin' away.

[PaladinX13]

Can you explain the results here which give every remaining toss-up state (except AK) to Bush? By these results, California is Bush Country!

I feel like Bush has this election, but I'm so very anxious!

 

[Justin]

Ok, here's a quick breakdown:
Florida has 25 electoral votes.
The winner will most definately want this state.
BUT:
There are still 6 undecided states out there:
Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Arkansas.
These 6 states comprise another 50 electoral votes. For a clear win, a majority of these states would be really nice to have.
