1. It's encouraging.

I believe there are enough votes left to put her over the top but don't have the numbers.

2. What margin for the victor triggers an automatic recount? In VA it's 1 percent, which

would work out to 50,000 votes out of 5 million.

IMO this is the first question to ask: Is it possible the margin of "victory" will be so slim that an automatic recount will be triggered?

3. I believe it's 1 percent also in Florida.

6. Looks like we're going into a recount.

[Dappleganger]

7. That's good news indeed...

not as good as a slam dunk but if Scott is gonna win he deserves to sweat.

8. I tell you something, if we lose by one vote there is someone I am going

to call and chew out for not mailing in his absentee ballot earlier.

[Dappleganger]

9. Oh no!

Who?

There's no way I can go to sleep tonight unless I know if this is settled or there's a recount.

10. A relative.

[Dappleganger]
