The OFFICAL 2004 Election Thread

All votes should be counted regardless of whether they change the outcome of the election. If I vote... I want my vote counted.

What that_guy is saying is that it makes no sense to count 75k absentee ballots when one candidate is up by 100k. Really, what's the point?

I'm all for FL, OH, & IA being the only ones that vote now anyway. Why waste your time on the other 47? :D

I understand, but right now there's more absentee and provisional ballots out there than what Bush is leading by, correct?


They are still counting exactly how provisional ballots there are in Ohio and are about 90% through. The last count I heard was Bush up 136,000 votes in Ohio and there were around 134,000 provisional ballots with that other 10% of precincts to be counted.

The numbers just don't bode well for Kerry here.

I understand what you're saying from a personal viewpoint (being a voter, belieiving every vote counts, etc), but statistically, it really doesn't make a lot of sense.

It's like kicking a field goal with 2 seconds remaining in a game you're losing by 14 points. Kinda makes you feel better, but doesn't really make much of a difference.

Or kinda like trying a hail mary at the end of the half from 60 yards away when your quarterback can only throw 50...

no, cause on the hail mary, someone may catch it and run the rest of the way...

kerry conceded, its officially over, bush has won.

and i hope they don't bother messing with Roe v Wade, impossing beliefs onto others is a stupid stupid thing to do.

There's things I strongly disagree with for each candidate, like i said, I wasn't really thrilled with either, but its all done now.

thank god this is going to be settled today and not 2-4 weeks from now. I'm still very suprised at how Bush won the popular vote nation wide by almost 4 million voters as opposed to him losing the popular vote in 2000 by about 600,000 votes I believe. because like many covering the election, the increased turn out would have led many to believe there was an influx of voters looking for change, but it doesn't seem that way now. Does anyone know when they will have a somewhat accurate detail of what demographics voted for whom? cuz I'd personally like to see how others in my age range voted.

I'm suprised Kerry conceded. Classy move on his part, IMO.

Yeah I wasn't that thrilled with them either. I think alot of people were worried about changing Presidents in the middle of the war. Why are we at war? I have no freaking clue, but what's done is done.
