As CA, WA, and other state absentee and mail in votes are counted, it is interesting (to me, anyway) to see if the 2000 election trend that so strongly favored Gore in the PV totals as the last votes were counted, will continue in this election.  Also, if he can keep is share of the vote over 51% (in jeopardy, certainly), it might enhance the view, when seen in an historical perspective, that his win was a solid one.

Also, Bush has a chance to be the first ever candidate to exceed 60,000,000 popular votes.  If you don't care, feel free to vote that way.

Interesting, but I ultimately voted that I don't care.  Bush has already won, so the final final vote totals won't matter much and will be seen by few.

I don't really care. I like small things, details - county statistics, for instance. The big picture I mostly ignore. I probably won't even memorize the final total, although I can result the results for any county in WA, OR, and most of CA, as well as all in the easier states.

It would take a sizable quantity of additional votes to have Bush reach 52%.  I say he might break 60 Mill, but the percentage won't change.

Alcon, how did Clackamas Co, OR vote?  Grew up there, just curious.

Clackamas is marginally Republican.

Bush 50.3
Kerry 48.6

I find it pretty odd, btw, that the Dem margin in Oregon went up from 0.3 to 4.3 percent - without a single county changing hands!

Yeah, and that with gay marriage on the ballot...Oregon is an interesting state.

I thought they didn't bother counting those votes if they didn't change the outcome.

I'm pretty sure that all of the provisional ballots have to be counted by law, to determine whether or not they are valid.

There are probably at least some local races in which they could affect the outcome in any case; there probably aren't very many precincts where every race was such a blowout that none of the provisionals would make any difference at all.

Answer with regards to Oregon counties not changing this time around:

Collapse in support of Nader.

Overall in the country, the numbers showed that the Nader vote in 2000 would've split roughly 40% Gore, 25% Bush, 35% not voting at all.

On the West Coast, however, nearly all of these votes would have gone for Gore (I think this is a very solid assumption) and this therefore belies most of Kerry's increase in Oregon as a whole.

Well, Bush has cracked 60 million, but dropped below 51%.  Perhaps he'll top 61 million when all states are officially certified.
