That's insane. Just heard on ABC that in North Carolina there were more early votes from black voters in 2008 than in all of 2004.

You mean up through election day? Dude.

satellitewish November 5 2008, 01:45:36 UTC

There were more black early voters in 2008 than total black voters (early and on election day) in 2004.

thisficklemob November 5 2008, 01:50:20 UTC

Awesome.

Looks like the majority black counties in GA are not reporting yet. I hope they wait for quite a while and get more precincts in before calling GA.

thisficklemob November 5 2008, 01:45:22 UTC

Of course FOX is calling it... that's how they convinced people they'd won Florida in 2000, by just saying so.

anne_jumps November 5 2008, 01:49:03 UTC

Eh, Fox. Pffft. DeKalb, Fulton, and Clayton counties are not reporting yet as far as I know.
Probably because people are still in line; maybe because there are a lot of black voters there, too :-P

and all those educated elitists.

Holy wow. TEXAS is practically a dead heat, according to CNN. TEXAS???? Seriously???

thisficklemob November 5 2008, 01:54:05 UTC

No. Fucking. Way.

anterastilis November 5 2008, 01:56:49 UTC

51% to 48%, as of a few minutes ago. But only 2% reporting. Perhaps they started with Austin first?

Either way, it's exciting!

thisficklemob November 5 2008, 01:57:18 UTC

Ah, well, that would explain it. It's still good.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. But I still won't take Fox's word. ;)

anne_jumps November 5 2008, 02:07:45 UTC

I'd wait until more from the metro area is counted in. GA may very well still go for McCain, however.

leezechka November 5 2008, 02:12:45 UTC

Atlanta tends to go blue, and has millions of people, don't discount until that area is counted...

anne_jumps November 5 2008, 02:12:45 UTC

DKos now reporting 175-37, Obama.

thisficklemob November 5 2008, 02:19:25 UTC

*nods* And McCain wins Michigan?

anne_jumps November 5 2008, 02:22:45 UTC

Well, on DKos they've got Michigan as red, but there's a checkmark next to Obama on the pop-up. Somebody's confused about something somewhere, lol.

thisficklemob November 5 2008, 02:25:01 UTC

Maybe they know something we don't about which precincts haven't reported?
