Why is MSNBS showing Clinton 66% - Obama 34% with |
|
0% of the precincts reporting?
What kinda fucking bullshit psychological propaganda is that considering the polls have not yet closed?

It's most likely a few polling stations reporting, that account for less than 0.5% of the state wide electorate.

Uh, I thought the polls closed 45 minutes ago. |
|
0% reporting usually means <0.5% reporting. Or about 2500 in this case.

They do it everytime, man.
I think we all should write them and let them know how we feel.
Dang.

13. They're rounding down to 0% reporting. |
|
There's like a couple thousand votes in. This happens in every state when the results first start coming in, the numbers jump all over the place until we have a big enough sample for them to begin to stabilize... and then even then it depends which regions are early and which are late. Take a deep breath.

19. 2,700 Votes In So Far... No Telling What County They're From... |
|
You'll need a whole lot more of the vote to come in from all over the state before we can begin to see what happened.

25. It just went from that to 55 -45 within 2 minutes, with 3% reporting. |
|
It was 60-40 when they "projected" it, and had changed again before they could get the next graphic on the screen. What the fuck are they doing calling it at 3% anyway?

26. Just over 60,000 votes and 55% to 45% |
|
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 07:57 PM by BeatleBoot
If it was 3% of total that would mean 2 million voted
So, they probably meant 3% of polls reporting.
