That's wierd. It seem like every vote should be valued to determine the
overall popular vote, even if the state electoral vote is not in
question. In Texas early voting by mail is cut off well in advance of
election day, so the early vote can be tally for immediate input when
regular voting starts. Some states allow registered voters to cast
their ballot over the internet, if they will be out of the country on
election day, etc.

Since these have to be counted by hand, it takes days.
They were hanging back from counting in case florida went down to the
wire
and they could cheat... again.
And think about it... doesnt that just have that delicious taste of
truth
about it?

Pete, can't Florida get her voting system together? LOL
I'm glad the election didn't come down to Florida's 29 electoral
votes; because, I'm pretty sure the Republican controlled state
would have followed along the lines of the 2000 election that put
GWB in office.
Finally; three hours ago:

What would Texas have done, given that close a result?
Perhaps the Florida officials responsible for running the elections
should consult with an expert on the subject to find opportunities
how the Florida voting system might be improved. I'm sure there are
some fine experts, as the other 49 states, including NY and NJ, that
were ravaged by hurricane Sandy, got it right.
Ducked the question, as usual. You don't know about your own state, do
you.
What does the election being close have to do with how long it take
to count
the votes? LOL It should only delay calling the election by
projection,
until all votes are counted, which should have occurred election
night. No
recount was involved.
