You've got a point, but I think that after the last election result that came about in Florida, this time it will come down to whoever has the better voter turnout ability (I really wish voting was compulsory in the US), which is imo Obama.Kmarion wrote:

Despite it being pretty close and predictions either way, I think Obama will win Florida.

Ohio police ordered to have riot gear ready for election 'unrest'
Chicago, other cities readying for election night
By MICHAEL TARM – 3 days ago
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago authorities are bracing for as many as a million people in downtown Grant Park Tuesday night to cheer on Barack Obama as election returns come in, a potential celebration and security headache.
Police in Chicago and elsewhere around the country say intense interest in the election and the possibility of large crowds in major cities are leading them to take crowd-control precautions usually seen during Super Bowls and World Series. In addition, local police will be providing security at polling stations to keep things running smoothly on Election Day.
Security preparations in Obama's hometown include orders for off-duty firefighters to haul their helmets, breathing tanks and other gear home now until after the election in case of any emergency. All Chicago officers have also had their days off canceled and are required to work Tuesday, Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis said.
"I'm extraordinarily confident that we can keep Senator Obama safe, that we can keep the citizens of Chicago safe and that we can keep the neighborhoods safe." He added later that, "We always prepare for the worst and hope for the best."
Other parts of the country are thinking through security as well.
In Los Angeles, police typically deploy extra squad cars at polling places on Election Day and Tuesday will be no different, said Michael Downing, the Los Angeles Police Department's deputy chief. But he added that nothing suggests "people are going to riot or conduct themselves inappropriately depending on who gets in."

Now they are saying there are virtually no lines.. poll workers are taking breaks. ... poll workers lol. My sister said she didn't have to wait at all.God Save the Queen wrote:

Actually, I just saw something about the lines being ridiculous. They even had an announcement on CNN that they need to extend voting day to Wednesday. So today, the Republicans will vote and tomorrow the Democrats will vote.Kmarion wrote:
