[Bluebear]

6. Well, hours ago Burns over Tester by only 1000 in Yellowstone

http://www.co.yellowstone.mt.gov/elections/results/RESULTS/DEFAULT.HTM

I don't know where they stopped the count but that is not enough for Burns to make up!

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. I fear the rove factor

that is why I'm still up doing this silliness...

Ok, ok, I know we all do our part... tomorrow I will be loopy for editing, or is it later today?

[Bluebear]

14. Screw Rove, the air is out of his overinflated balloon

It'll be OK. Surely people are watching. I hope. :)

[nadinbrzezinski]

TAKE COVER!

[BuyingThyme]

11. This is CRAAAAAZZZZY!

Count the votes, already!!!

[zyguh]

15. Some updated numbers

Beaverhead is in with 2,552 to Burns and 1,376 to Tester. At least according to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14413900

Also they are showing 14% err...LOL>....make that 36% of yellowstone reporting now.

[Bluebear]

17. Well good morning and welcome to DU :)

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Welcome to Du

take into account the networks did NOT zero after they went to the recount, so the numbers don't match much

[BuyingThyme]

21. Good morning, and WELCOME to DU!

:hi:

[AntiFascist]

18. Isn't Yellowstone sitting on top of a supervolcano?

Do not tempt fate!!!

[zyguh]

23. They were updating as I was typing the message

They are updating yellowstone right NOW. The precincts reporting was at 14% and in the two minutes it took me to type the message it jumped up to 36%. The numbers are finally actually coming in right now.

In fact, here you go

http://sos.mt.gov/ELB/archives/2006/elections/general/ussenate/index.asp

[Tommymac]

26. Those numbers don't agree with the official state website.

NB has pointedd out numerous times the networks have not zeroed out the re-counted counties.

http://sos.mt.gov/ELB/archives/2006/elections/general/ussenate/index.asp

[zyguh]

31. you know what, never mind......

The sos site hasnt updated in real time once since the start of the counting. It gets updated at intervals as the results come in, it seemed like it was once every 30 minutes during the height of things last night.....but it never once updated in real time the entire night. The news sights have reporters on the ground on site and as the results come in they call it in and their results do get updated , not quite in real time, but a hell of a lot faster then the official sos site does.

But dont listen to the good news about the recount numbers finally coming in and this loooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg night finally coming to an end, thats cool.....just go back to the sos sight in an hour, or two hours and once they have all the final tallies and a worker gets the time to sit down and update the site you will see that the sos sight updates the the correct figures that are running on cnn and msnbc...........

I dont care, I just thought I would share the good news, but you know, whatever. Im gonna go start refreshing again and go to bed in an hour or two when this thing is finally done.

[Bluebear]

33. Well thanks for stopping by!

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. I am taking screen shots from the official site

in case they try to steal it.

In a court of law, reporters will not matter... nor will CBS website... this site is where they get the unoficial results that later are certified for an election. It is THIS SITE, as badly as they are at updating that counts

Overall the trend is good... but this OFFICIAL SITE matters a tad more

[Bluebear]

28. Hey where was Cheney hunting again? nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. more numbers coming in Yellowstine coming n

Tester 168121
