CRAP. Exit polls show Scott beating Crist.

[eppur_se_muova]

65 and older, white, affluent males and 65 and older, white, non-college educated males are the only demographics he's really winning. But in FL that's enough.

[Robbins]

1. No it's not

Otherwise Obama would have lost florida in 2008 and 2012.

[BP2]

12. It's all about turnout. eom

[DonCoquixote]

2. Hillsborough and Orange county not counted

Tampa and Orlando, 2 very blue cities.

[NightWatcher]

3. Survey says "X"

I still thing Crist wins this.

[book_worm]

4. Have you not seen the several other threads on FL

Scott is sucking compared to 2010

[eppur_se_muova]

8. Scott ahead by 3%, 85% of vote in.

Now up by 112,000+

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. Impossible - DWS is there.

[DCBob]

6. this may be the most important election tonight.

FL gov may determine the next potus election.

[NightWatcher]

10. If Scott wins, Jeb runs for White House from Florida

[Baitball Blogger]

32. He might run, but Dem voters come out in numbers for presidential elections.

[HockeyMom]

7. Women outnumber men

Don't forget that. My white, 65+ husband's vote for Scott, is negated by MY vote for Crist. Oh, and don't forget the HISPANIC male and female votes either.

[Dawson Leery]

9. The rural areas are in and Scott leads by 1.9%.

The cities should put Crist over the top.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

11. Please stop that! It's not news! The That's the expected

demographics for Republicans.

Turn CNN OFF!

[onehandle]

13. Idiots love their bat boy. nt

[BlueJazz]

21. The Bat Boy...I didn't know anybody remembered that. I burst out laughing like hell when...

..I read your post.

I needed that..I live in Sarasota. Thanks, it cheered me up.

[geomon666]

14. I think I'm going to be sick.

This fucking ghoul is going to be around for another 4 fucking years. Is it not bad enough the disgusting inhuman, Pam Bondi will still be here? I'm so pissed.

[Callmecrazy]

15. Christ is up 49-46...

over 120,000 votes.

Calm down. Everything goin' be a'right.

[eppur_se_muova]

16. According to FL SOS, you have those numbers backwards. nt

[steve2470]

17. yep, Scott is ahead on the official site nt

[Callmecrazy]

26. You're right. I was backwards...

Holy shit. we're all gonna die.

[davidn3600]

18. Hopefully it's the southeast that hasn't reported yet

Miami-Dade and Broward I'm hoping are the counties that haven't fully reported yet. If true, there may be a bunch of Crist votes there and the gap should close. But it's going to be close...

[Dawson Leery]

19. 33% in only for Miami. 18% for Broward. 67% for Palm Beach.

Crist can still win.

[Roland99]

22. Broward, Miami-Dade lagging (Crist leading). Jackson, St. Johns lagging, too (Bat Boy leading)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

23. Jackson's tiny, and St. John's not huge.

Miami Dade and Broward are huge.

[eppur_se_muova]

20. Miami-Dade only 33% counted; 17% in Broward ...

That could be good news ! Both are going heavily for Crist so far.

http://www.cnn.com/election/2014/results/state/FL

[geomon666]

24. This could get ugly

http://enight.elections.myflorida.com/CountyReportingStatus/

It's very tight and we could easily see another 2000.

[Callmecrazy]

25. According to MSNBC...

SCOTT:2,552,810
CRIST:2,429,319
A difference of 123,491 with only 20% of Broward County reporting in. Broward is dark blue, as is Palm Beach and the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando.

[eppur_se_muova]

27. 95% of the vote in -- Crist needs about half of that --

He could pull it out yet. No wonder they're not calling it yet -- it's still not a "mathematical certainty".

[Roland99]

29. Broward power issues and other problems just might cost Crist the race

wonder what the history is on the judge that denied the emergency motion??

[Callmecrazy]

37. I think it was a desperate attempt...

on Crist' part.
I voted here in Broward County. The ballot is six pages long and written in three or four different languages.
It is easy to miss the little fill-in bubble in the right space. I don't think it was intentional, but you had to proofread your ballot carefully. I had to redo one page. That's taking a bit of time, so the lines probably got a little long. If you ask me it's the voters' own fault for not voting early. We had two full weeks to early vote this time. I voted on the 20th and there was no line at all. 10 minutes in and out.

[edgineered]

28. Keeping hope alive is rough,

here is a site with the real numbers:

http://enight.elections.myflorida.com/CountyReportingStatus/

There are some large blue counties that have not completed their absentee numbers; Pinellas, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, etal. Precincts complete is at 80%. This circus is painful to watch, but there is still hope.

[pstokely]

30. Have the snowbirds arrived yet?

nt

[steve2470]

33. many, yes nt

[Takket]

31. scott up by 90000 with 97% counted...

I find this shocking... I cannot believe scott could hold that seat...

even the site election projection . com, which is run by a republican, predicted crist to win.

[eppur_se_muova]

35. It was 130,000 with 96% counted ... quite a change !

This one is going down to the wire.

[davidn3600]

36. 97% of broward is now in....that's why the sudden change.

[Roland99]

38. not lookin' good...and no run-off

[Old Nick]

34. Why didn't he stay in Australia? :(

[eppur_se_muova]

39. We're approaching the "mathematical certainty" point ...

about 180,000 votes still out; Crist needs a margin of 90,000 -- ie needs 75% of all outstanding votes. Looks like it's not gonna happen. Hard to believe that so many people could have voted for an obvious creep like Scott.

[steve2470]

41. I think my thread on turnout helps to explain it a bit

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025760706

[LukeFL]

40. Please I need to pray right now

Please God make Crist win

[Puzzledtraveller]

42. The former republican Crist?

[eppur_se_muova]

43. Sure is taking a long time to count that last 3% ...

Scott's lead has dropped to 77,000 and still only 97% reported ...
