What the Hell is up with Missouri??

[adabfree]

Why haven't they called it yet...

[southern_dem]

1. major urban areas still out n/t

[Joe the Revelator]

2. Because St. Louis, and KC are still out there

5. Those are probably Obama leaning cities. Hmmm.

[VolcanoJen]

10. Why are St. Louis and KC holding their tallies?

Interesting... really, they haven't come in yet? I've been baffled by these early Missouri results.

[Recursion]

12. Maybe I'm missing something about your question

Because they have hundreds of times more ballots to count.

19. Oh, no deeper meaning, just remembering primaries in Ohio

Just Election Board gaming, politics-as-sport stuff. Larger precincts can release the votes as a trickle, or hold all of them until something like 60% are in and bomb the media with a confident, current-results-shifting outcome.

I'm just a little caught up in the fun of it, not reading anything nefarious into it at all. :-) Just looking forward to the St Louis and KC results.

16. This has happened before in Missouri...not at all surprising

[Joe the Revelator]

17. Ever been to MO? Between KC and St Louis, there isn't much out there

Its pretty easy to count smaller precincts.

18. Cities often turn in results later EOM

3. The areas strong for Obama have not reported yet. nt

[blm]

4. St. Louis numbers always come in way later than the rest and sometimes gaps close

considerably.

6. thanks guys..guess that's good for Obama

[xmas74]

7. St Louis.

That's why.

They tend to be the last with their results.

I live in a very red county and everyone I heard polled after voting today said they voted for Hillary and either McCain or Huckabee. The only ones I've heard voting for Obama were later on and they were all first-time voters.

8. Urban areas still out, and the exit polls are tight nt

[rwheeler31]

9. I voted Obama in Missouri. I'm an old woman, report the dam

numbers.

[Recursion]

Essentially: St L is HRC and KC is BHO, and both are still out

In broad terms

11. Hell of a boring state to drive through??

From what I've heard? :shrug:

[adabfree]

14. lol good one

0:rofl:

[Darth_Kitten]
