Stupid Question: MO and NC

[OmahaBlueDog]

It looks like NC and MO are both counted, but razor thin. Why aren't the networks/websites awarding the EVs (McCain for MO and Obama for NC)?

1. Might be waiting to see if there is a recount.

[Endangered Specie]

2. Does anyone know the recount rules for each state?

[RL3AO]

7. MO and NC are candidate request

And I don't see any reason why they would request it.

[Endangered Specie]

16. in other words, the candidate has to fund it?

is there a time limit on the request?

I'm guessing both are within the margin required to allow a request.

[pstokely]

17. Can the party or individual request it?

3. I'm guessing provisional ballots

Given how close it is, it may make a difference and those ballots have to be verified.

4. From what I can tell

In MO Obama is down about 5900 votes, not sure if that will change, but ATM it doesn't look like it.

In NC, I've read they are going over provisionals.

Georgia is a whole nuther story, gathering steam on the intertubes.

5. NC is Obama, but MSNBC's site makes MO in reach uncounted

Absentee votes I heard which could work for Obama I think. Or something like that. MO keeps flipping.

6. Yet they called Georgia.....

and my understanding that there are early votes that haven't been counted.

[liberalmuse]

8. I want that fucking SOS of GA thrown out of office.

Two million missing votes? They called it with two million missing early votes, largely from the AA community. Infuckingcredible!

[JJ]

12. Not missing, just not counted yet

If Obama's campaign didn't have people everywhere, I wonder if they'd have ever gotten counted.

[vaberella]

9. Only CNN and MSNBC called GA. No one else.

MO could flip any which way because Obama is always trailing by a couople of hundred points. NC is in the bag for Obama. I still have hope on Montana since it's still at about 88% in with plenty of games to play.

10. If a recount is possible then why aren't they TALKING about it

why are they talking about so much bullshit no one cares about :wtf:

[FrenchieCat]

11. They can only talk about one thing at a time......

And right now, they are trying to second guess Barack's next move.

Clueless talking heads!

[musicblind]

13. Seriously. They haven't even MENTIONED the AP story about the missing early votes in GA.

:(

This seems lazy to a disgusting degree.

[Aqaba]

14. I will say this about MO

This is like a repeat of McCaskill in 06. It was really, really fucking late til the final tally came in, and all night long she was behind.

[musicblind]

15. Maybe they're just too fucking lazy to put in the effort.

They keep going over the same tired script of shit no one cares about. I'm almost half sure they'll start replaying stuff in a few minutes :wtf:

18. Obama's edge in NC is 12,160 votes. Damn! We did it! Turned NC blue!

:applause: :bounce:

[mnhtnbb]

19. McCain ahead in MO by 5,853 votes according to CNN data. Damn.
