You were supposed to use a #2 pencil. Your vote is invalid.

Me too, msday86!

historic election, and my first vote as a U.S. citizen.

And Dixville Notch and Hart's Location (in riverripper's home state of New Hampshire) already reported their final vote tallies. They started voting midnight, and reached 100% voter participation.

Voted democratic for the first time in 40 years.

The real races to watch are the Senate in Minnesota(Franken/Coleman/Barkley) and Georgia(Martin/Chambliss). The MN one seems like the only true toss-up.

Yeah, I live in Georgia, and Chambliss is very unpopular around here. That race is going to come down to the wire I think and it should be very interesting to see how it pans out. Both Chambliss and Martin have been running ads non-stop in prime-time for the past couple of weeks, and one candidate's ad always follows the other's.

It seems very possible that the Dems are going to get a supermajority this time around.

atlmba what do you think the odds of a run-off in GA are? it sounds as if there's a decent chance. It'd be crazy if it ended up being for the 60th seat.

Well it indeed looks like this one is going to a run-off, although I don't think it will be for the 60th seat (although it's still possible). I happen to be a supporter of Jim Martin so I hope he wins, but I really don't think he has a shot of winning a run-off, as Democrats aren't likely to have as high a turnout as in the general election.

The Minnesota Senate race still hasn't been called! Mandatory recount appears to be on the cards. But the Democrats ain't making it to 60 in the Senate.

And it appears raabenb's prediction came closest to the final EV tally! +1 to him.
