Follow those races here. Report turnout, exit polls etc. as they happen..

Wow. Luckily most Facebook pages are private.

The only thing a potential college that is not somehow in his network could see would be his picture, so as long as that’s good, he’s fine.

Employers snooping facebooks is a greatly exaggerated problem because in most cases, they can’t see anything, just your picture.

So, nothing bad on the profile photo!

I suspect the spin will be...wow Deeds only lost by X%...Obama really helped him because he should have lost by Z%. Obama really helped him out even though he was a terrible candidate.

And the lie from Obama's side will be "they didn't follow our campaign advice".

[rwfromkansas]

Don’t they need a no. 2 pencil? Are they trying to make sure the machines don’t work?

[AmericanInTokyo]

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, ALL. THIS IS THE OPENING BATTLE FOR 2010. AS WE SPEAK!

[rwfromkansas]

good. Sounded like somebody else in the know thought they did, and I passed off bad info.

I hope you’re right but when I heard that some judge ordered that Fox News could not do exit polling I started think we are being screwed again.

[TonyInOhio]

Mandated runoff? That’s not the way it works in NJ. The winner does not have to get 50% or more of the vote.

I was referring to a runoff because of the narrow margin of victory, not a 50% requirement al la Louisana.

In Macomb County Michigan we had to show a picture ID and fill out a voting request card in person prior to getting a ballot.

[HerrBlucher]

Seasoned yes, but not Navy.

Any reports of Black Panthers turning voters away again?

[xsmommy]

There was nothing on the form to specify that a #2 pencil was required. I think that the poll workers in NoVA are on the ball enough to have provided what was needed here. They need every Creigh Deeds vote they can get, so no reason for them to have pens in each voting both in a lib Dem district to disqualify their votes.

[TonyInOhio]

Is that pronounced Fraankensteel?

[NautiNurse]

All the best to Virginia sending a big message to TOTUS and DNC Chairman Tim “Hinky Eyebrow” Kaine.

[Gene Eric]

>> I think we should infight about where we're supposed to do our infighting.

Nice way to start the day pal, looking for an infight - sheesh ... :)~

good news is those absentee ballots leave a clear trail of fingerprints shoud any be investigated.

I agree. Just expressing some butterflies in the stomach at this point. My concern is that the goal is to simply get things close enough to move them to litigation. After that, he who has the best lawyer or owns the most judges, wins.

Funny that I should be nervous about NJ out here in OH. But to me, a win in NJ would be incredible news.

BIG FOUR, DAMMIT!!! WHY DO YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS FORGET ABOUT MAINE??? The lib blogs are passionate about defeating Question 1 and keeping SSM in Maine. But on FR no one ever seems to talk about it. Big mistake.

I voted via absentee (NC) and a pen was enclosed with the ballot. It specifically mentioned more than once that the pen provided must be used. I was on the verge of using another pen just because it made such a big deal about that pen (it was a black Bic). But in the end, I decided to behave and be a good little sheep, mostly because I wanted my vote to count (my Daddy was on the ballot!).

This was a new thing I think (not really sure, as last year I did early voting in person and the election before that, my absentee ballot arrived about a week after the election).

[randita]

the ‘morning spin’, according to the Dim talking-head I just heard on FNC, is that ‘it don’t mean nothing’.....

That would mean they think they're in trouble.

[VanDeKoik]

"Christie called Hannity yesterday and claims he has hundreds of poll watchers and about 600 lawyers ready to counter any Franken-style vote fraud."

It appears Corzie has some "poll watchers" too.


God speed, NJ... You're gonna need it. No whad Im sayin?

The 10th District in California for congress is a Hail Mary pass to win but if it’s close, that will be good news.

AND CA.!!! It doesn’t look good for the Repubbie, he has an uphill fight.
