Dave Wasserman is keep track here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjYj9mXElO_QdHpla01oWE1jOFZRbnhJZkZpVFNKeVE#gid=0

He's not counting third party votes though, for some reason, which is a little annoying and mean's the percentages are just of the two-party vote, not the total vote.

Why on Earth is vote counting so difficult?

I'm pretty sympathetic to the popular vote advocates, but considering that the election has been over for nearly two weeks and there are still literally millions of ballots that have to be counted makes a pretty strong case for the importance of the electoral college.

Back during the Florida 2000 fiasco, all counties were required to certify their results by one week after the election. Is this no longer the case in FL, or has FL completed its counting? And if FL could do this with the technology of 12 years ago, why can't every state do this now?

Florida certified its results today.

Obama now leads Ohio by 2.24% after some of the provisional ballots have begun to come in. Still waiting on the Cuyahoga dump though.

Edit: Now up to 2.27% as Stark County flips to Obama.

After counting provisionals in Ohio today, Obama's lead has jumped from about 2% to 2.72%! And Columbus provisionals are apparently still not counted.

Obama is also up to 50.88% nationally, leading Romney by 3.48%.

He's already broken 3.5 points today. Nearly at a 3% lead in Ohio as well.

Ohio is such a disappointment... It was predicted to be 1 to 2 points more democratic than the nation as a whole, and will end 0.6-0.8 points more rep instead. Sad

Even Sherrod Brown's result was underwhelming... Cry

That's more a fault of national polls than Ohio polls.

The RCP average was actually 2.9%, exactly the result.
