4. Hey!

That was supposed to be a joke!

No need to get insulting!

5. /sarcasm

[hedgehog]

6. Well, OK then.

[MissMillie]

2. Well, it's my understanding

that they don't announce a winner in a particular state until the polls close in that state.

7. This is actually a serieus problem

In Canada, all media is subject to a election night blackout until the polls close in a timezone that is being reached.

8. There you go, introducing a rational solution

Next I expect you'll be suggesting that we develop a way for a fast, clean repeatable count like Canada's, too, eh?
