RURAL AREAS ARE REPORTED FIRST!!!!!

[Seedersandleechers]

For obvious reasons. Cities are reported last.

3. Exactly...

Everyone needs to remember Indiana from the primaries. Hillary won it, but she damn near lost because of the late surge from Lake County for Obama. He was down by double digits and lost by 2 points or something. Bottom line is that the rural votes get counted first because it's easier to count. Sucks for us that we have to wait longer, but as long as the damn votes get counted, that's what matters.

4. I can remember when it was the other way around

"Wait till the rural vote comes in"

5. Yeah - on the map (link below), it's really cool because when you click on a state, you'll

actually see the counties that have been reported so far, along with the numbers from each. And if you know where the bigger cities are in that state, you'll know whether they've been reported or not.

6. yep, which is why Obama will win Indiana

he's barely behind and only the rural areas have come in. Once the Democratic areas (Indianapolis, Bloomington) come in, Obama should carry it...
