RP stays steady at 6%, at 10.000votes and at 23.000 votes....is this normal?
 
There have been same strange numbers lately if this is accurate find.

Thursday 1/10: Bruce O'Dell writes:

Theron Horton and I have confirmed that based on the official results on the New Hampshire Secretary of State web site, there is a remarkable relationship between Obama and Clinton votes, when you look at votes tabulated by op-scan versus votes tabulated by hand:

Clinton Optical scan 91,717 52.95%
Obama Optical scan 81,495 47.05%

Clinton Hand-counted 20,889 47.05%
Obama Hand-counted 23,509 52.95%

The percentages appear to be swapped. This seems highly unusual.

According to the CNN exit poll, Paul got 11% in Wayne and right now it shows him at ~6.5% there with 33% reporting. So if we believe the exit poll we should be expecting lots more votes soon and that should bump him above 7%. But as we learned from NH, exit polls cannot be trusted (although a 4.5% discrepancy is rather large if it holds)
 
i mean im not a political polling analyst... i do find it very strange how you can poll one community and it be consistent through the rest of a state...

i mean im not saying its wrong... im just saying its really weird how that works out.
 
The numbers are going up in a liniar movement again.
These numbers should not be that consistant.
I remember the 2000 election. Gore would move ahead by a few points then another precinct would report and George W. would move up and pass Gore.
The margin for all candidates have remained unchanged since 11 % of the precincts reported. Just like in NH.
This doesn't seem possible.
 
How many votes do you need to bump up 1%?

It not how many votes you need, its how many more you need to gain compared to the other candidates. I would guess its a few thousand. Sure he's getting thousands of new votes throughout the night but so is everyone else.

BTW, this is exactly what happened in NH and Iowa. % stayed pretty consistent throughout the night.
 
Are you monitoring online?

Which online site is showing live count, anyone knows? I don't see it on politico front page.
 
I take it some of you arent very good with basic math. Sure, Ron's total goes up but his percent doesnt. Why? Because everyone elses vote totals are going up too!

I think that this goes to show that Red Staters vote like red staters, blue like blue, regardless of locale.

The general election bounced back and forth because some precincts went almost entirely one way, and some completely opposite, so as more were added there was more volatile changes as the night progressed.

In all counties the only really change was McCain/Romney for 1st or second, and which percent each person got, though the rest tended to stay in order.

Not that I trust it.

I've yet to meet anyone who was intending, or even considering voting for Romney, and I've talked to a lot of random people at the grocery store.

It's not. Unless someone is helping it along. They have idiot programmers this year. They're leaving fingerprints all over the place.
