Please post as much election information as you can on this thread, so we won't have a million separate threads running at one time.

And, please, NO GRAPHICS -- just links!

[AFPhys]

Just like West "Robert C. Byrd" Virginia.

Oh, that reminds me... over at DU, those nuts were touting Byrd as the last true Demodog and holding that he would be the savior of the party.

I am not making this up. LOL

[cherry]

This one may be won on the Reservation....

Do they have Indian gambling in SD?

[AppyPappy]

Wait. We lost Ark. We won Minn, Ga and Missouri. The Ap is saying it's 50-50.

Is this new math?

[Cold Heat]

I feel like I'm witnessing a miracle here

It's kinda like 94! The lord works in mysterious ways.

[rb22982]

They haven't declared Minn yet.

[mwl1]

We ain't won Minnesota yet. When we do, it will be 51-48-1.

[Darlin']

Mornin' :) I haven't been to bed. LOL. It is, indeed, a wonderful night/morning. LOL I spect every home in Louisiana will have an oportunity to have the President for lunch or dinner at least once before the runoff is over. LOL

[Cold Heat]

AP Math!

[comebacknewt]

It is not looking good.

Still six Indian precincts (the last one was from a reservation in Todd County). Davison County hasn't delivered so far for Thune.

[AppyPappy]

Robert "There Are White Niggers" Byrd, former Klansman?? Now I have heard everything.

[#3Fan]

Why is it taking so long to count the votes in these sparsely populated SD precincts? Suspicion meter very high.

[Letitring]

We can thank the Justice Department for that, too. :)Well done guys. Whew, think I'm going to lie down, see if I can sleep. If not, I'll be back. If so, I won't. LOL. Not for awhile anyway. Goodnight/morning to all wonderful FReepers. See you tomorrow. (it's never tomorrow to me until I sleep).

[Darlin']

I read something earlier that said Davison is in Thune's old congressional district and that he always did very well there.

[AppyPappy]

It looks as good as won to me. It's hard to make up those deficits. The Dems will probably drop their suit in Mn if we drop ours in SD.

GOP Sweep
We all stayed up all night monitoring election returns. Townhall has a complete run down of races that ended up with the GOP controlling both the Senate and the House. Stay tuned to Townhall.com for late breaking results, post-election analysis, and updates on any ballot lawsuits.

Democrats in disarray
by David Limbaugh (11/6)
Regardless of the actual vote tallies from Tuesday's elections, the big story is that the Democrats are a party in serious disarray.

Voter fraud that's legal
by Michelle Malkin (11/6)
More Third World shenanigans from the land of the free and the home of the electorally challenged: The Justice Department dispatched more than 400 federal observers and lawyers to guard against illegal voting fraud at polling places in 14 states yesterday.

All the sex a girl needs
by Ben Shapiro (11/6)
Teenage girls are now almost as likely to initiate sex as boys. So reported The New York Times on Nov. 3, in a piece entitled "She's Got to Be a Macho Girl."

Too big to vote small this month
by Debra Saunders (11/6)
The Washingtonian magazine wondered whether Beltway pundits who "analyze and moralize without pause" actually vote. The answer isn't pretty.

A killer who loves children is still just a killer
by Kathleen Parker (11/6)
Learning to pick one's battles is one of life's great lessons. Unfortunately few learn it, especially these days when nearly every human incident is freighted with potentially sweeping applications.

Deadline are hallmark of democracy
by Jonah Goldberg (11/6)
This column was due Nov. 5. It would have been better, I think, if I could have had another day to finish it, especially since I wrote it on Election Day.

Big Brother
by John McCaslin (11/6)
A dismal 17 percent of eligible U.S. voters cast ballots in the most recent primaries. But that's not to say something should be done about the low turnout.

John Muhammad - sympathetic terror opportunist
by Ross Mackenzie (11/6)
Let's listen in on a make-believe interview with an investigator in the sniper case...

Change in the black political landscape
by Armstrong Williams (11/6)
For the past 50 years, black voters have sworn a loyalty oath to the Democratic Party. That's all changing now.

The morning after
by Paul Greenberg (11/6)
Yesterday was a beautiful calm between two storms. There is always something sacramental about an American Election Day. It still has a Currier & Ives, Norman Rockwell, Thomas Hart Benton flavor.

How a mantra ate justice
by Paul Craig Roberts (11/6)
In 1995, I wrote the first of my 28 columns about the Wenatchee, Wash., child sex-abuse witch hunt.

The politics of envy
by Walter Williams (11/6)
In his Oct. 20, 2002, New York Times Magazine article titled "For Richer: The Disappearing Middle Class," Princeton University economist Professor Paul Krugman wrote, "For the America I grew up in -- the America of the 1950s and 1960s -- was a middle-class society, both in reality and in feel.

Is it safe?
by Gary Aldrich (11/6)
If you could conduct a survey of current and former federal employees, I’m certain you’d find that they agree on one thing: There is too much “deadwood” in the ranks of the federal employees.

[Cool Guy]

Just about 27 left and is taking a lot of time.

[mwl1]

The whole state is Thune's congressional district. Daschle is trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

[Charles Henrickson]

95% of precincts reporting, Coleman still with a 4% lead.
