1. well, the gap stopped tightening
now it's 56-44, 27% of precincts reporting

I'd like to see him stick it out until the end, but oh well

5. There may be up to a million votes between...
... absentees and provisional votes, yet to be counted. There have been plenty of precinct screw-ups, forcing people to vote by provisional ballots because they weren't correctly shown on the rolls for the precinct they were sent to.

If Davis concedes, they won't bother counting those provisional votes.

I'm speechless.

Give up as soon as one of the media guys say you lost.

4. Because the exit polls support at 10+ point spread. And...
...exit polls aren't off by THAT much.
