"as soon as they are posted on the board." Turnout was low--only 14,000 or so with 35,000 the predicted turnout. Reportedly, this may indicate some surprises.
Interestingly, they reported used Diebold touchscreens for the voting--altho Mar Ambinder just posted they used Diebold opti-scan machines. Has perhaps something gone wrong with these machine--which should have instantly reported the results. The polls closed at 7PM Central.

| 3. I hope he comes in second--that will polish off Brownback , Huckabee |
|
and the rest of the second-tier losers, while still leaving him no chance of winning the nom (because he's otherwise a loon--a 71-year-old loon)--yet would make a nice statement about the GOP's ambivalence on the war.

| 4. Geraldo just commented to Ann Coulter, "Whats taking so long? Is someone challenging the results?" |
|
Possibly or could it be the Diebold machines screwed up again!

| 11. K and R. Who's reporting what? It sounds like the vote is not going swimmingly. |

| 12. They are handcounting about 1,500 ballots from one malfunctioning Diebold opti-scan machine. |
|
Wonder if they used modems, as well. Modems are reportedly the easiest way to hack in and change the results.

| 13. They all probably have hackers hired in the |
|
background and the hackers are having trouble keeping their own numbers in front. :bounce:
