1. it doesn't?

i just clicked on your link and it showed no measurable results yet, with electoral votes of 0 being assigned to each of them?

meaning nothing more than "the night is young and polls are not closed in california?"

7. This is what I'm talking about

But Obama's number keeps going up - so in all likelihood this is a false alarm.

5. sf stands for "science fiction"?

Seriously, only a few votes are in, from PARTS of Kentucky and Indiana.

Wait a few minutes, at least.

6. Did they count early votes or something?

It makes no sense.

No big deal.

Republican districts (rural areas) report results faster.
