    It's still all hearsay and opinion at the moment, we might get some indication when the polls close in Virginia at 7pm (midnight our time)

    Richard Mourdock who stated it was 'God's intention' if women get pregnant after rape.....He is leading in the early Indiana results. How dumb are Republicans

    per NTMK
    Ohio - and it depends on which station I listen to what they are saying. There was a good deal of early voting this year and truly although this is a small town it did seem that there were more people turning out to vote than in past years. Ohio has 18 electoral votes.

    What's the story with Nebraska?

    RTÉ gave it red & blue graphics

    Every one state was one or the other

    Do the Cornhuskers do something different?

    Thanks :)

    Hey. I just realised you can use twitter to find douchebags you didn't even know existed.

    #romneyryan2012

    That would be just two examples.

    Do they use electronic voting in all US states? Are there any states where votes are counted by hand like here in Ireland?

    I know they count by hand in Florida. A friend of mine lives there and was complaining about it, apparently they didn't bring in e-voting because there's so many elderly people and they wouldn't understand it.
