Apparently there were mysterious voting station malfunctions and downtime all over Broward County (which has lots of minorities!) today and Charlie Crist filed an emergency motion to extend voting hours.

I wholeheartedly agree, Wolf, that we, the viewers, should receive all the incomplete information and heavily hedged projections that the staff at CNN do.

If a race is called that quick it's a blowout. Sometimes they say too early which means "it looks right but we need more data to make sure the exit poll wasn't lovely"

Given the partisan lean of the places that have already reported, where McConnell is overperforming what he needs to win, and the exit polls, which also show a clear McConnell win, it's an easy call. e: lead != lean Pinterest Mom fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Nov 5, 2014 |

Milnementum? He has said that he doesn't have a victory speech and will "just wing it". If you've ever had to listen to a Milne speech, this should fill you with dread.

Apparently the police got called to remove a Democratic volunteer from the vicinity of a poll station. He had set up a laptop and printer to help students print out bills to prove residency.

Well Grimes, maybe next time when someone asks you if you voted for the leader of your party you say something other than "Ummm...". McConnell was beatable.

While the call in Kentucky is most likely accurate, I still think it was a bit too soon, because the state's urban/minority districts hadn't reported in yet.

McConnell is out performing his past results everywhere. That's enough of a lead that it doesn't really matter how much the urban counties contribute. Hell, he might even win the urban counties.
