I looked at the page a few minutes ago - all the numbers are now zero, and there is an announcement that the first polls to close will be at 6 PM Eastern, check back with them.

In Vermont I have more personal rights than in "RED" states...I can legally carry a concealed weapon in Vermont without any license...can you name any other states in the Union that allow that??...;)

Our towns are small enough, that I know the police chief personally...before I retired from our fire/rescue service...I knew most of the people in our township...both professionally and personally...:D

I can call the state capital and speak to an aide to the governor and get a response to a problem in less than a week...

Nope...I like my privacy too much to move...:D

The news media does sampling of particularly crucial polling stations and they PROJECT their reports based on that...I'm sure you haven't forgotten how the news organizations called Florida for the Democrats and then had to reverse that to TOO CLOSE TO CALL...and finally called Florida for the Republicans...

Well, no one accused them of being bought when they did the exact same thing in the last election calling states for GWB with 0% reporting...;)
