*Official Election 2005 Results Thread*

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Post all exit poll data and election results here.

As many of you now there are 5 major races in 2005.  The Virginia and New Jersey Gubernatorial Race.  NYC Mayoral Race. The Ohio and California Speical Proposition Election.

Side note:  There are some other smaller elections like the special election in Maine and the Annapolis mayoral race.  Post those results here, too.

I declare Bloomberg the winner. Now onto the other 4.

$262 million spent on this special election that Arnold created.

What's this?

Wolf Blitzer just predicted a Forrester win by 3%?

Wow!

You do know that Wolf Blitzer is a Republican hack?

The Virginia elections return site isn't working real well.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Ohio has a fast site, but slow vote counters.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Any Joisey returns coming in?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Results have not been updated in ten minutes...normally every three.  They may be working on a big batch right now.

No Joisey results so far.

Where are you getting the VA returns?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Anyone have any idea when polls close in California?  That'll be an interesting one, too.  I'm expecting Sanders to win in San Diego, but most Schwarzenegger's ballot initiatives to fail.

Jersey NJN has it 51-47 Forrester- No precint and number of votes- very, very early going.

Corzine is truly a slime, but I still find it hard to believe he could lose in Jersey...

Do you have a good link to Jersey results...?

Well, the guy he's running against is definitely even more of a slime.

Go ahead and keep telling yourself that.

It's true. BTW the slimer guy is up 51-47 with 358 precincts.

In NJ I’d take a mediocre republican who seems to have the right idea against a machine politician, without any idea where to start cleaning up the state.

Along with Forrester, I hope (don’t expect, but still I hope) Arnie does well on his propositions all of which are fairly moderate and would do a lot to help the state end its decade long run as some basket case (!)    
 
Meanwhile the one race I really care about is here in VA, just hope Kaine pulls it off.

Cutting education in a state that already spends less than the national average, despite their very high cost of living, is not moderate.

Sad that all of the RON amendments are currently failing.

Nobody seems to check the most obvious: NYTimes front page:

Jon D. Corzine (D) 10,346  
Douglas R. Forrester (R) 7,185  

Weird, they have fewer precincts and more votes reporting than NBC. They definitely have differences sources of information.

Kaine leads Kilgore 51.15%-46.58% with 63.48% reporting.

Actually, they are the results. No one owns the numbers, idiot. Thanks for the link with percentages (something your NY Times doesn't have, jfern), AuH2O.

The NY Times numbers are currently more up to date.

This NJ site has weird results.

With  358 precincts, Forrester is leading 3743-3443 (51%-47%)
AND
With  399 precincts, Corzine is leading 92442-82160 (52%-46%)

WTF?

NY Times has different NJ numbers, Corzine up 91895 (51%) to Forresters 82150 (46%) with 259 precincts.

Ohio likes curroption, obviously. Why else would they vote for people like Gov. Taft and Bush that they disapprove of. It's too much of a 1 party state to actually think for itself.

I call VA for Kaine. He's up 50.80%-46.95% with 72.30% reporting.

Republicans are leading for Lt Governor and Attorney General.

Great, we were all waiting on your "call."

I'll go ahead and call the Lt. Gov race for Bolling, and AG race for McDonnell, though the AG race is razor tight.

The AG race is too close to call.

Drduge is calling VA for Kaine.

Before only the AP had called it. I'm glad that someone reliable called it now.

Bloomberg up 81%-17% (must be Staten Island) with 1 precinct.
