Bush leads New Jersey

[TruthCanHurt]

2% of the precincts reported. Bush leading 50%-49%.

How can they call this a Kerry state?

[TruthCanHurt]

It was at the time I posted. Currently swinging the other way. I just think it is too early to call.

It appears several GOP leaning counties not even included in totals - Hunterdon, Somerset, Monmouth, Ocean.....

[VOR78]

Or not.

Bush's numbers in Connecticut just took a nose dive.

[crushelits]

Connecticut has always voted republican.

[TruthCanHurt]

Florida looks great for Bush.
Ohio, is going BUSH now!!!! 51-49

[Michael Barnes]

OHIO:

Bush, George W. Republican 147,294 49.28%

Kerry, John F. Democratic 135,380 45.29%

[Calpernia]

Our Democratic officials were 'selected' not 'elected'. Remember the voter fraud investigations? And the current investigations actively going on IN NJ now with our administration.

NJ is one of the states that needs to be cleaned up in the WOT.

Most of the hijackers on 9/11 got their IDs here

WTC '93 was plotted here

9/11 was planned and executed here.

Our state won't get cleaned up too easily unless we have a Bush win.

Typical news media crap. They are making sure not to call states Bush is ahead in, but this was called for Kerry quite some time ago.

[Calpernia]

There's rural in NJ? You can't count the Meadolands - it's a cemetary (grin. I'm kiddin' ya New Jerseyites!).

There is a little rural area up by the Tappan Zee but I can't think of any other - is it down in the southwestern part of the state? And don't try to tell me Princeton is rural.

Small (generally rural) precincts usually have their results tabulated quicker, since there are fewer votes to tabulate. Rural voters tend to skew Republican. Urban areas take longer to tabulate, due to large numbers of votes. They tend to skew Democrat. The short answer: The urban precincts haven't posted their results yet.
That is, in fact, why the actual vote counts at this point don't necessarily match the projections. People here need a reminder that every projection being made is based on exit polling. New York was just given to Kerry a minute after the polls closed, and similarly Wyoming was given to Bush a minute after the polls closed. That isn't because anyone has tallied actual votes from the voting machines. It is because scientific sampling has taken place with exit polling done from throughout the day in each individual state. Do they get it wrong? Sometimes, but that's why they are holding off on projecting a winner in the real battleground states. They have learned a little bit from four years ago.

[GotMojo]

the entire west side of the state, except for trenton is rural!

[Endeavor]

Is that out on West I-80 towards Penn?

[TruthCanHurt]

Fox and other channels are saying the exit polling doesn't match the actual results.

Exit polls are worthless.

[Endeavor]

Cool! All I ever see is the biotech/pharma aspects of NJ.
