So up to now the usual suspects?
I heard Obama has a pretty solid looking lead in New Hampshire (over 60%).

As usual, my polling station had a grand total of a four-person-deep line. Perhaps this is the consequence of assigning polling stations by geographical area and not population count.

Just voted for Jill Stein in RI. No line at all, in and out in five minutes. Had 7 parties on the ballot here, including the Socialism and Liberation Party, an apparently self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist Communist party, whose presidential candidate is 28 and therefore ineligible, and whose vice presidential candidate was born in Colombia and is therefore ineligible. Uh-huh.

I have Roseanne Barr running for president on the Peace and Freedom ticket. No, really.Grandmaster Jogurt wrote:Did anyone else's polling station have a list of candidates that were on other state ballots but not your own? Maine had Stein, Johnson, and I think someone else on the ballot, and listed Anderson, Ron Paul, and another candidate in the write in list.

25 minute wait to vote this time - which is about twice what I've had in the past. I wouldn't read anything into it because there were half the number of poll workers than two years ago.

Ah, but you can't let freeloaders get services at no cost, right? FREE MARKET! PRIVATE INDUSTRY! PROFIT! PROFIT! PROFIT!Dalton wrote:Also surprising, to me at least. I thought the Republicans would want to spread their message on left-leaning networks.Tribun wrote:Romney first off kept MSNBC away and gave Fox everything they need to work with. In the media centre, they charge for reporters $75 just for a seat and a whooping $1020 for internet access. TV crews in the main hall even have to pay $6500.
Obama on the other hand , while charging for premiums, allows credentialed reporters are granted access, which includes a workstation, electrical power and a wireless Internet connection, at no cost.
I don't find it surprising at all.

So far MSNBC's website has Ohio rather firmly in the Romney camp (61%) which is odd. Then again, I only have online sources so maybe its different elsewhere? And it is too early to call still...

Pay attention to which counties are reporting. Cities are good for Democrats, empty country side for Republicans. Ohio hasn't reported in from an urban area yet.Skywalker_T-65 wrote:So far MSNBC's website has Ohio rather firmly in the Romney camp (61%) which is odd.

61%? Considering all previous numbers, this one can hardly be taken serious.Skywalker_T-65 wrote:So far MSNBC's website has Ohio rather firmly in the Romney camp (61%) which is odd. Then again, I only have online sources so maybe its different elsewhere? And it is too early to call still...

Like I said, 'so far' 
I've been looking closer at the more contested states, so I hadn't checked the detailed map yet. Thanks for the heads up.

Romney called for Georgia.
And yes, pay attention to what counties are reporting. SC may be a Romney win but the numbers are higher for Obama.

I voted early on Friday. In Texas, but I still voted for Obama. It was electronic machines with a rotation wheel that lets you select the candidate. Each booth had a sign informing the voter that it was NOT a touchscreen.

At this point I'm just hoping for a clear win so we don't have to go through the happy horseshit we had in 2000 in any shape or form.

I voted for Obama on the way to work this morning, around 8:40 AM. There was no line, though there were a couple of people already in voting booths, and I was in and out in less than five minutes. Like every other time I've voted, it was a Scantron with an included privacy folder.

Voted around lunchtime, same type of machine as the reddit user who had difficulties. No issues one my end, though I voted a straight ticket. The wait time was less than 5 minutes.
