Alea iacta est

So slow...

Americans are slowly counting...

Currently 39-3, Bush's favour.

Called States: Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia for Bush, Vermont for Kerry

Update:

Bush 170 EV, 18 States, 53%/14,796,099 Popular Vote
Kerry 112 EV, 11 States. 46%/12,877,747 Popular Vote

It'd be ironic if Bush won the Popular vote, but lost the electoral college. Would the same guys who declared the 2000 election results invalid, do the same for 2004? Probably not.

Heh.

Update 2

George Clooney's dad has missed out on a seat in Kentucky. What a shame...

Bush 175 19 52% 17,799,202
Kerry 112 11 47% 15,936,188

Update 3

What do John Edwards and Michael Moore have in common? They both seem to be well on the way to delivering their home states to Bush. Way to pull a Gore, guys.

And what's with Florida? 79% counted, Bush is at 52%, still "too close to call". What, is there a last minute ballot-stuffing scheduled later?

Update 4

Would they frickin call Florida? There's only 5% left to count.

Oh, and Democrat VP candidate John Edwards might want to contemplate his future - the Democrats just lost his old Senate seat.

And it doesn't look like Dick Cheney's giving up his job without a fight.

Update 5

They've called Florida. Now only Ohio still in play.

Update 6

Ohio's being called for Bush. It's over, pretty much.

Update 7

Come on Kerry, concede and be done with it. It's over. Bush has won the electoral college and the popular vote. Why are you talking about challenging? Is this a tradition, now, when its a close election, the loser tries to go to court?
