AMERICA - The Right Way!! (Day 654) [Remember the Trade Center!!]

Various News Sources and FReepers | November 5, 2002 | All of Us

[The Raven]

Well....I went to vote ---and we had these new fangled touch-screen voting machines with blinking lights on the ballots still requiring attention.

I voted first on the lottery question (Yes/No) and the lights started blinking again. I thought it was giving me a "quick pick" but it was just reminding me.

It took a lot to get used to this....The elderly were taking quite a lot of time behind the curtain.

They also had Senator - buried on the bottom - easy to miss. It must have been designed by a Dem.

I didn't like it.

Betcha there is not ONE freeping here tonight who will leave their computer and take a nap, betcha!

[Mr. Mulliner]

Just after I posted those numbers, the Tennessean updated the numbers. Van Hilleary (R) is now LEADING Phil Bredesen (D) 116, 367 to 101,269!

Alexander (R) is pulling further ahead in the Senate race.

The lottery numbers changed dramatically, but the "yes" votes are still less than 50% of total votes cast for governor.

[gulfcoast6]

Think this will keep up? the numbers?

[M Kehoe]

I call that good news!

Hi! And you're right. All the Pubies I voted for are winning with large margins. The down side is that most of the stupid amendments seem to be passing. Pigs, second hand smoke, what the bozos in Dade want to call themselves, build a house for grandma...sheesh. Imho, the Founders would be rolling over in their graves if they lived here (you too Kalifornia a/k/a cereal box).

CNN PROJECTING DOLE TO WIN NORTH CAROLINA SENATE SEAT!

OTOH - They are projecting Lautenberg to win New Jersey with 0% of the vote counted (yes, not a single vote!)

[Mr. Mulliner]

Think this will keep up? the numbers?

Lamar Alexander (R) is pretty safe for the Senate. My b-i-l, a Democratic insider, says his sources say Bredesen will win the governor's race.

The lottery? Too many people don't take the time to be really educated and the proponents seemed to have successfully painted opponents as just uptight religious people. If it is defeated, it's probably because not enough people voted on that one, but right now the "yes" votes are in the lead and improving.

[Lorena]

Per election thread, CNN just called NC for DOLE! May it be so! Kay, if we were drinking gals, we'd have to break out the bubbly for that one!

[M Kehoe]

FreeRepublic is a little slow.

Congrats on your new abode! May you and the Misses produce many little Republicans.

May your new home be blessed with health, wealth and joy.

Woo-hoo! Congrats on the house!

[Mr. Mulliner]

This just posted at Townhall.com:

Arkansas to extend voting hours
A judge in Arkansas has ruled that polls must stay open an extra 45 minutes in Pulaski County, which includes the Little Rock area -- a Democratic stronghold.

And this after Republican incumbent Tim Hutchinson had pulled ahead in early returns over Democrat Mark Pryor, son of former Sen. Dale Pryor. Mark Pryor had been favored in the latest polls.

Also, Republicans Saxby Chambliss in Georgia and Elizabeth Dole in North Carolina have pulled ahead in early returns from those states.

OTOH - They are projecting Lautenberg to win New Jersey with 0% of the vote counted (yes, not a single vote!)

Say what???!!! How can this be? And why haven't they started counting those votes yet?

[kayak]

I am in tears! Between hearing FOX report that the President has called Jeb to congratulate him on re-election and now NC being called for Dole, I am feeling much better so they are happy tears. I've just opened a Pepsi and eaten some chocolate chip cookies to celebrate ...... :-)

I still don't trust Bowles ...... there has been some talk already of lawsuits ....... pfffffttttt!

[Mr. Mulliner]

We've already produced 3 Republican daughters. Now we have a place to keep them.

Our new abode will be a good place to teach them good, Republican hobbies such as hunting and fishing.

Congrats! (I've always had a soft spot for Elizabeth Dole.) I have a Cadbury Raisins and Nuts bar waiting for the Senate to go Republican this evening.

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

We'll have to concede New Jersey to the illigitimate Lautenberg. He's handing it to Forrester, 55% to 43% with 18% counted.

In North Carolina, Bowles appears to be in a position where a lawsuit would be silly.

With 30% reporting:

DOLE - 376,803 (54%)
BOWLES - 305,045 (44%)
HAUGH - 10,481 (2%)

In Missouri - Carnahan is in trouble.

With 5% reporting:

TALENT - 90,599
CARNAHAN - 85,122
MILLAY - 804
ROMANO - 747

Just over at the Corner at NRO, Jonah Goldberg said that so far this evening, the important races have gone to the Republicans! Great news.
