No new numbers yet.

Allegations of voter intimidation and suppression of black voters. Recount possible. Will keep you posted.

[katze]

Not in TX, but I'm hoping with all of you who are.

[Dog Gone]

Hmmm, another 3 bad precincts for Sanchez. I don't like this pattern.

[Keith]

beginning to make Bush's Fla. win look like a landslide.

[PetroniDE]

Hopfully, the republicans have a handful of key precincts that will be withheld, just in case the democrats try to withhold a few until the end. I think that was a key in the Florida situation. Remember when several counties reconsidered the overseas ballots. That made the stationary 930 a moving target, and that did not help the Gore camp.

[Dog Gone]

Uh-oh.

Same number of precincts. What's up with that?

[StopDemocratsDotCom]

LEAD: 522 WITH 60 PERCENT IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Keith]

how can my totals have more precincts reporting but fewer votes...weird.

[RoseofTexas]

OH MY!! This baby is toooooo close to call...HERE WE GO AGAIN...FLORIDUH NIGHTMARE all over again!

[Dog Gone]

Beats the dog out of me. I'm not sure who's winning.

[PetroniDE]

Whose counting these darn things, Stalin ?

[BUSHdude2000]

Those 2 Fort Bend precincts that go heavy Brown haven't come in yet I don't think, that's an area to worry about.

[PetroniDE]

I wish that football game would end already, want to watch the KTRK news. If anybody cares, Texas is losing by 9 with a minute to go. Looks like BCS is another election with a razor finish.

[Grassontop]

Orlando Sanchez 120,854 50% Lee Brown 120,332 50%

Question: Is Orlando Sanchez the Republican candidate for mayor? Curious in West Virginia! Grassontop

[RoseofTexas]

HMMMMMM...seems they always hold back counting the demoCRAP votes from those counties until the very last...smells fishy to me!

[StopDemocratsDotCom]

YES
