[conservative in nyc]

98.11% is in. There shouldn't be more than 687,000 votes left (and likely less, since the projected total continues to decrease, suggesting the remaining precincts are smaller than average - as you said, likely extremely rural areas). PAN is ahead by 385,000. The PRD socialists would need to beat Calderon's PAN by about 55 percentage points of the multi-party vote in the outstanding precincts (i.e. something like 70%-15% or 55%-0%) in order to win. It ain't happening.

	Actual	Actual %		Projected (by State)	Projected %
Calderon (PAN)	13,996,767	36.38%		14,274,202	36.44%
Dinosaur (PRI)	8,295,366	21.56%		8,457,353	21.59%
Socialist (PRD)	13,611,684	35.37%		13,822,281	35.28%

Re: post 399

Thanks. This looks good, unless all those outlying precincts are in Chiapas. Heh..heh.
