[Skinner]

In order to help everyone keep track of the returns from each state, please post all updates in the ten OFFICIAL THREADS posted for this purpose. There will be one thread for each state. Please do not start a bunch of other results threads, as they will just make people confused.

INSTRUCTIONS

Please put the most important information from each update in the SUBJECT LINE of your post, so the returns are easy to follow. Include the number of precincts reporting, followed by the first three or four candidates in order. Kinda like this:

00% reporting - Candidate A 00%, Candidate B 00%, Candidate C 00%, Candidate D 00%


This thread is for results ONLY. Please avoid unnecessary discussion in this thread.

19. According to the exit polls:

Kerry will win Atlanta big because of the black vote, but Edwards should win much of the white rural areas of Georgia.

[MoonRiver]

20. That means, one more time, we gotta get out our base this November!

Unfortunately, Georgia has paperless computerized voting machines throughout the state, so I discount it as a place we can win.

I don't get how CNN can call these things for one candidate when another candidate has been ahead. I'm happy its Kerry, but I'm confused as to how these predictions are made.

[Zynx]

However, Fulton county came in for Kerry by 10,000 votes.
