11. Jeez, Kerry is winning Tallahassee by that much??

I guess I'm ignorant; I didn't realize that was a Democratic stronghold.

[Dirty Hippie]

12. Tallahassee is very Dem

Educated populace.

[Anaxamander]

20. Oh yeah. Tallahassee is solid two-thirds Dem. That's why I love it here!NT

8. I don't think this counts early-voting, either.

I THINK those don't get tallied until AFTER the regular precinct votes are counted.

[neoteric lefty]

10. really?

where did you hear that from.

[neoteric lefty]

9. It looks like it will be closer than we had hoped

17. Randi - Palm Beach - 64 for kerry, 34 for W with 60%

[Massacure]

19. Kerry is still behind 250,000 - I hope he can take it.

The Gore States + Florida or Ohio or Massouri (sp?) to win. Otherwise we will need two of New Mexico, Nevada, Arkansas, and Colorado, except New Mexico and Nevada together give us a tie.

[madmax]

29. See Post # 24

[Quetzal]

21. Kerry is going to need a Hail Mary to win this one!!!

C'mon Florida, let's go BLUE!!!

[quiet.american]

24. 250,000 absentee ballots still need counting

250,000 absentee ballots still need counting, 90,000 of them from heavily Democratic counties -- as heard on Air America Radio. Florida Secretary of State says they can't start counting them until Thursday -- no reason given.

[AndyTiedye]

28. It Takes A Long Time To Steam Open All Those Envelopes

The fix is in.

[Fla Dem]

30. Actually NBC just said a million + absentee n/t

[klook]

33. Could be a couple of days then (n/t)

[marlakay]

26. they just said on tv that a big county that usually gets at

least 200,000 votes dem hasn't been counted yet.

[Fiendish Thingy]

27. NBC is reporting problems in Collyer county w/touch screens

says the canvassers are on the phone w/the ESS software people because the "numbers aren't matching up" whatever that means.

[Mom4Kerry]

34. Collier County is considered a repug stronghold

eom

[BlueScreen]

31. Al Franken just sounded very down on Kerry's chances for FL

Said we won't know tonight for sure.

[ochazuke]

35. I just heard 1.6 million absentee ballots have yet to be counted

How should those break?

[pandorasox]

37. Can Florida's electoral votes go out before absentee ballots are counted?

They're saying those ballots won't be counted until Thursday. Florida never bothered finishing their vote count last time, who says the same won't happen this time?
