Wont happen. AK is republican country.

But Ohio was at one point 300,000+ for Bush. So there are more Kerry votes coming in than Bush and there's 13% left to report. It's gonna take a miracle for Kerry to pull that off, but supposedly the remaining votes would be mostly democratic since their coming from inner city polling stations that vote mostly demorcatic.

We'll just have to see. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

AK for Bush.

It comes down to OH. If Kerry can pull a hail mary (Dems are saying their are upwards of 400K votes left to be counted that favor them - yea ok) then he gets mad props. If not - its over.

God fucking damn I love America.

OH has 10% remaining to be reported, the majority of the remaining precincts are historically Republican. Bush maintains a 117,000 vote lead.

NM looks to be pretty much a lock for Bush.

NV looks to be going to Bush.

This one is over, boys and girls. rock:

How can you call nevada bush?

Kerry 219,273
Bush 218,094

Anyway, whoever gets the popular vote should win, not the most electoral votes.

So Bush should win?

Hes got 3.4mil so far.

Bush was up in NV when I made the post. Lots of votes left to report and the NV results include Las Vegas, which the Democrats thought would pull them ahead.

Yes, if bush comes out with more of the popular vote, he should win.

Listen, I don't want Bush to win. But if the people of the US vote for him and elect him legally, then thats their choice. Thats fine by me.

However if that system was used in 2000, Gore would have been president.

If someone gets the votes, they should be president. I don't think anyone can argue that. The Electoral college system has a flaw.

If we had that system Ninty - then East and West Coast states would rule this country at the detriment of the rest of the country.

That system works in Britian and France where you dont have states so much and a more solid national identity - not here.

The nationalism in this country is so far below that of others.

this would hvae been a kickass election if more people had joined the pot. only 5 people participated, but looks like himmler and cloud get to split $5. bastards receive a 250% return on their investment.

but thats where the population lives.

it's the same in canada. 1/3 of the population is in ontario and quebec. we still have seats kind of like electoral votes, and don't go by popular vote.

I know you need electoral votes or seats to represent each part of the country, but it should equal out exactly, so the number of seats you get is proportional to the popular vote. It doesn't really work, but i'm sure theres some way to do it.
