Title: Popular Vote on election night
Post by: ndcohn on December 25, 2006, 01:02:26 AM
does anyone know when the popular vote was what at what time? perhaps in graph form?


i remember that early on bush led 56-44, and that closed slowly, though not fast enough.

Not sure.  It would be something hard to find, considering that different networks used different sources (somehow) for their data reports.  I think they probably varied after the first Indiana and Kentucky votes (which were about 56-44).

Did Kerry ever lead in the popular vote on election night?

That's very very hard to track, considering the way states report.

The 8 PM call would have been his only chance.
