Figured we could use a clean new thread for all of the Election Day talk - voting experiences, media coverage, and of course, the
results.
So who's voted so far? How were the lines?
I voted at about 8:45, and it was damn near empty. The poll workers said it was a madhouse until about 8:30 though, so I just had good timing. Tried to vote early last week, but those lines were NUTS. Considering how quick I got through today, I'm glad I didn't wait for hours last week!
Yahoo is using final state-by-state polls to estimate electoral vote totals, with Obama projected to earn 338, far more than the 270 needed to win. They've got him taking Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and Virginia; McCain takes North Carolina, Georgia and Indiana, but all by slim margins. So it sounds like for McCain to have any shot, he's got to hold on to all of his slim leads AND steal a few others.
