The NNGO US Presidential Poll!

Vote or die!

I think we all know the vocal majority choice here. But curious to see what the non-vocal majority will choose.

Also worthy of note, in election news:some interesting measures on the ballots in OR, WA and CO. A bit sad that Oregon is projected to lose. But we have such AMAZING growing conditions!

Could anyone explain to me whats the difference between these two candidates ?

I voted! Here and RL. I even got a little "I voted" sticker to wear. I feel like I'm in kindergarten! Do something good and you get a sticker.

I just voted IRL. Interesting thing in NY. They are allowing displaced people to fill out affidavits and vote in any polling place they want to. The pollster just right in front of my gave an affidavit to someone whose house is right around the corner from the polling place, just because their polling district changed and it's more convenient than traveling a mile or two. I asked him about it and he said "well technically, I'm not allowed to ask her if she's displaced." So I see tons of affidavits on the desk. I am sure this is going to be a nightmare. Can imagine dragging out the count all week and claims of voter fraud throughout the NE.

Right. The affidavits are there for folks to use in the event someone is displaced, but the officials can't legally ask if they are displaced. Got to love it.

I am not sure if that is an honest question or if you are being facetious, but just in case:
here you go.

Miss you Toasti!

I voted. Did one of those absentee ballots a few weeks ago.

LOL! Nice Dee!

A voté !

So far they're saying 153:153 electoral tie between Obama and Romney, with Romney having a higher popular vote. So intense.

God bless everyone in Colorado that voted to legalize weed. Still early, but I am holding out hope!!

Looking at Politico for live update. The only website that seems to be loading.

So far Obama:Romney
148:171 electoral
32,031,305:33,670,660 Popular Votes

If you type "election" into Google, there is similar:

News announces Obama is re-elected. That was fast.

Was going to say that according to my copy of New Scientist, Romney doesn't stand a chance and Obama will definitely get re-elected. And this was published about a month ago (I am still catching up on my reading lol)

Nice to know they were right

Legalize marijuana - Colorado (COMPLETE LEGALIZATION)
38.9% Reporting
Yes 53.2% 947,966
No 46.8% 833,837

Love my neighbor to the north!
I am disappointed that Oregon couldn't pull it together.
Maybe next election. We can't let WA be more progressive than us!

Happy about the national outcomes though!

Just got back from the white house, crazy night.

Too close for comfort.
