11/4/2008 11:28:23 PM

CNN is still waiting on 6% of the votes with a 5000 vote split at the moment

something must be wrong with Franklin county

11/4/2008 11:28:39 PM

jk

but I'm mad my vote didn't count if that's the case

11/4/2008 11:28:41 PM

wow, i got lazy and didnt vote, i could've won it for obama, or for nader

11/4/2008 11:30:39 PM

My vote counted! I'm leaving my McCain sign up for 4 years.

11/4/2008 11:32:16 PM

Congrats to the Bob Barr voters.

11/4/2008 11:32:19 PM

22k difference on CNN, in favor of Obama right now...

Still some of Meck and some of both red and blue counties left to report.

11/4/2008 11:32:41 PM

^ what he said

obama is only down by 4k with some precincts partially reporting

http://results.enr.clarityelections.com/NC/7937/13085/en/md.html?cid=100



even if we go red, it was hella close; glad my vote seemed to make a difference this time

11/4/2008 11:33:44 PM

^^^, ^^it's changed again

[Edited on November 4, 2008 at 11:33 PM. Reason : ,]

11/4/2008 11:33:48 PM

Obama winning now with a margin of over 25k.

Still some blue/red counties to report in.

[Edited on November 4, 2008 at 11:38 PM. Reason : ty SF.]

11/4/2008 11:36:38 PM

well shit, apparently it is still a neck and neck race.

[Edited on November 4, 2008 at 11:37 PM. Reason : not that it matters in the long run]

11/4/2008 11:36:43 PM

^^ you mean counties, right?

[Edited on November 4, 2008 at 11:37 PM. Reason : but yes, still close]

11/4/2008 11:37:18 PM

WILSON FTW

11/4/2008 11:37:25 PM

interesting that Bev and Kay received more votes than Obama....think the ballot confused people? Wonder how many people voted straight party and didnt vote for President. In 2004 3%didnt vote for President...of course, it was the Dems that changed it because they were getting tired of NC going red all the time.

Franklin county is MIA.

11/4/2008 11:38:34 PM

11/4/2008 11:38:53 PM

well, on zorthage's page, Franklin is blue

it's weird how they (CNN) don't have those results when the state seems to

and vice versa, it looks like Buncombe didn't report to NC yet, but CNN has those results?

[Edited on November 4, 2008 at 11:40 PM. Reason : .,]

11/4/2008 11:39:15 PM

wral has nc at 50% obama, 49.6% mccain

11/4/2008 11:40:37 PM

the Board of Elections website has:

Franklin County
Dem: 13026
Rep: 12883

but that only helps Obama, so he'd still be ahead with Franklin...

[Edited on November 4, 2008 at 11:44 PM. Reason : I don't know what else needs reporting... 8% of Mecklenburg, last I looked]

11/4/2008 11:43:29 PM

New Hanover also shifted. They were blue then went back to McCain over the past hour.

[Edited on November 4, 2008 at 11:45 PM. Reason : ss]

11/4/2008 11:45:06 PM

i wouldn't be so sure

11/4/2008 11:46:21 PM

yeah cnn has obama up

11/4/2008 11:46:52 PM

Wilson still has only reported 81%, too

I doubt we'll know who won in NC until much later tonight or tomorrow

11/4/2008 11:46:54 PM

11/4/2008 11:47:28 PM

if nc doesn't go red i'm moving to sc.

straight up defect son.

11/4/2008 11:49:57 PM

obama up almost by 30k

11/4/2008 11:50:46 PM

CNN now has Obama up by 30k in NC.

11/4/2008 11:51:28 PM

Pack your bags son, b/c NC is going to OBAMA!!! Make taht President Obama!!!

11/4/2008 11:51:45 PM

11/4/2008 11:52:37 PM

^^^ you mean president elect

11/4/2008 11:53:26 PM

over 350 electoral votes it looks like...

[Edited on November 4, 2008 at 11:55 PM. Reason : w]

11/4/2008 11:55:21 PM

now with 96% reporting (even Franklin!) he's still up by 30k

11/4/2008 11:55:39 PM

^^^^ who is taht? I'll take him over Obama any day

11/4/2008 11:55:53 PM

what happens if a president elect gets assassinated before taking oath?

11/5/2008 12:01:45 AM

^ The VP-elect becomes the President Elect

11/5/2008 12:03:08 AM

Then what if that person dies?

11/5/2008 12:03:35 AM

Speaker of the House, I assume: that's how the order goes, anyway

Wikipedia points this all out:

Quote :

"Section 3 of the 20th Amendment provides that if the President-elect dies before his or her term begins, the Vice President-elect becomes President on Inauguration Day and serves for the full term to which the President-elect was elected. The section also provides that if, on Inauguration Day, a president has not been chosen or the President-elect does not qualify for the presidency, the Vice President-elect acts as president until a president is chosen or the President-elect qualifies. Finally, Section 3 allows the Congress to provide by law for cases in which neither a President-elect nor a Vice President-elect is eligible or available to serve."

11/5/2008 12:07:58 AM

11/5/2008 12:08:16 AM

LOL @ THREAD

I'm surprised super redneck Caswell County went blue. Hell yeah, my vote finally counted somewhere.
