Collaborative Election Night Game

[Yelnoc]

7:51 PM: South Carolina is called for Perry.

Perry: 56.1%
Casey: 43.5%
Other: .4%

Casey/Klobuchar - 19 EV's
Perry/Rubio - 43 EV's

Hold on while I update the map for the 8 pm states

Oh sorry, I always forget to color the undecided states

Just quote the last person's map (and the remove quote tags).

EDIT: Whoops, looks like i screwed up SC...

[Yelnoc]

(Still a bit iffy about Georgia)

I'm not.  If demographic trends hold it will be a swing state by 2016.  Same goes for North Carolina though; IMO those states should vote in tandem, or at least closely when it comes to popular vote percentages.

EDIT: Ody, think we should set up a claims system like for the old map games?

I Claim Next.

Sure. Question: How do we choose the next election? I'm thinking Bush/Cheney vs. Dean/Nunn.

You can start another one right now if you'd like (though it would probably be best to wait until we finish this one).  I suggest for the next one we go back in time a bit and do, say, Reagan vs. Carter in 76.

9:03: After an uncharacteristically long wait, we can now call all of Maine's Electoral Votes for Casey.

Casey: 58.1%
Perry: 40.7%
Other: 1.2%

Casey/Klobuchar - 156 EV's
Perry/Rubio - 105 EV's

I'll go next...

9:38: Wyoming votes once again for the Democratic ticket.  At this time, we feel confident to call the election for Governor Casey.  Exit polls show him ahead of Governor Perry by a large margin in California.  He can lose every other state, which we view as extremely unlikely, and still win the election with only California.

Perry: 61.7%
Casey: 38.1%
other: .2%

Casey/Klobuchar - 228 EV's (I'm pretty sure you misounted )
Perry/Rubio - 132 EV's

(Shall we move on to another or are you guys invested in finishing this one?

[Yelnoc]

Going first...

[Yelnoc]

7:10: We can definitively call the first two states of the night for incumbent President George W. Bush.  Kentucky and South Carolina vote Republican.

Bush/Cheney: 16 EV's
Dean/Nunn: 0 EV's

[Yelnoc]

And don't call Georgia for Dean.  I mean, it's 2004.  Come on.
