Allowing provisional ballots that take 10 days to count does not even make good sense

Jesus....Wolfblitzer having a pollgasm. Calm down, most people want not part of a recount regardless of who wins.

that's what I'm saying, there's got to be an easier electronic way to do all this. Counting ballots a week plus after an election is crazy in this day and age.

I wonder what, if any, advantage Romney would get from military and overseas ballots

Getting it right is way more important than getting the results quickly I don't need to know who wins tonight. Nothing will change if I do. I do, however, need to know that it was counted and granted to the correct candidate.

Without Ohio it is going to be very difficult for Romney to win. Without Ohio he needs Colorado and it isn't looking good out there

probably more than Obama, when those are counted. Military is pretty R, isn't it?

I don't have one. And I'm saying it maybe needs changed. But I am pointing out why a simple online voting system could be dangerous.

Romney can still win without Ohio, he needs to win Florida though.

I think New Hampshire was just called for Obama.

Without Ohio Romney has no path to 270. It is all on Ohio at this point with Michigan/Wisky/Penn off the table.

Without Ohio Romney's last hope would be a tie. This would be a 269-269 tie scenario.

Neither can win really without Ohio. If Mitt wins Florida then it all rests on the Buckeye state's shoulders

Tie is a win for Romney because the House then chooses. His VP would be Biden though, as the Senate picks it.

I don't know why everyone is assuming Obama is going to win Wisconsin.

I guess the one good thing for Conservatives is they will retain the House because they will lose seats in the Senate and looking like Obama is going to win
