So what was the final turnout?

I'm seeing all these reports of record turnout and projections of 135 million voters, but the current national popular vote totals only add up to about 120 million (and they say 94-96% is reporting).

So where are the other votes? Are they not counting early votes or absentee votes?

If it's 120 million, that's pretty good by historical standards, but flat compared to 2004 -- that was also a high turnout election, but most projections had turnout climbing even higher this year.

I was really hoping Obama would hit 70 million votes!
