Ladies and Gentlemen,

The first 31 votes has been cast in NH at HART'S LOCATION, N.H.

The outcome is........

15 for Bush
15 for Kerry
1 For Nader

No winner in the hamlet and this is the first time that I can think of that this happened. This is not a good oman for any candidate since this hamlet normally decides the outcome.

During the course of the night and when I'm able too,

Updates will continue here

Good luck to Kerry and Bush and Nader.

Psh... that's why the freaking census needs to happen more than once every decade. I'm not saying it isn't a fraud situation, but if 99% of the eligible population voted you'd have that every time, everywhere because more people turn 18 and/or move here than die or move away every four-years.

Bush is a dangerous idiot. If there is any justice in this world, George Bush will not win. Unfortunatly, he didn't win last time but still managed to cheat...

Agreed. It just throws up red flags and opens up the lawsuit nation. I think those counties will have a ton of republican and democratic poll watchers.

I'm just glad I'm not in one of those counties.. LOL

I hope Bush wins. And Bush didn't cheat, as the media said that he would have won even if gore got his recounts. I hope that "living corpse" doesn't win.
* :sniper: Kerry*
* :mp5: bin Laden*

Oh yeah, i'm jk.

Your opinion.

My opinion is that Bush is an intelligent person that has trouble speaking in public..

LOL.. I miss the SNL skits with Bush and Gore. The Bush and Kerry ones are not as funny.

And Bush won the election in 2000. You must be living in the alternate reality of Gore. ;)

I'd like John Kerry to win, I really would, but I just can't believe that he will. I'm a Brit, so I don't have any input into this election at all (roll on our next gerneral election next year when Tony Blair will fail to get the ass-kicking he deserves, not that I'd want the Conservative to win {for all you Yanks that's the UK version of the Republicans ;)}), but the result is still going to have a pretty big effect on my life. Depressing huh? My uncle lives in the US and after the fiasco last time he got his citizenship specifically so he could vote against Bush this time. He lives in MA, so he didn't really need to but hey!

Bush did win the last time Alanion and I can pull out the opinion to prove it to you. Also I can quote out of my Government Class Textbook that disproves you too.

Remember, it is the electoral vote, not the popular vote, that decides the presidency

A vote for Bush is a vote for stupidity!

A vote for Kerry is a vote for uselessness!

A vote for Nader is a wasted vote!

Vote None of The Above, before it's too late!

Actually, there was a party in the UK (or at least one guy) who took a similar view to this and stood as the anti-apathy party or something similar. The idea was that it was for people who didn't want to vote for any of the parties but wanted to show that they supported democracy as a whole. His only policy was that if elected he would immediately resign.

People!

We had our first recount of Election Day.

In Hart's Location, there was a recount and in the end, Bush wins Hart's Location 16-14-1!

In Dixville Notch, Bush wins 19-7

Well.....if the early voting is compared to the last election in 2000, then Bush is a dead man :

In 2000, both communities chose President Bush over Democrat Al Gore (news - web sites). In Hart's Location, Bush won 17-13. In Dixville Notch, about 50 miles to the north, Bush had 21, Gore five and Ralph Nader one vote.

Kerry is already 3 votes ahead of Gore, and Bush is down 3 votes!!

May the trend (of Bush losing votes) continue throughout the day. :D

So that's ok then.

Besides...I recall recounts in Florida in 2001 that demonstrated Gore should have won there, but by that time it was too late.
