A lot of mail in ballots there that take longer to get through. Obama will probably win by 2 points and around 3 million votes.

They still have lots of outstanding votes in mail-ins and the like.

Obama may end up at 61.5 million, with Romney at 58.6 or so.

The spread will stay consistent at about 2.6-2.9 million votes.

Still counting Florida (big surprise there!). Other states counting absentee ballots.
So far, it looks like Nate Silver is the big winner in the pundit game - just about dead on!
