Wow

Even Fox News has called it for Obama.

Never thought I'd see it.

Iowa

As a personal note, I would have never guessed that in my lifetime Iowa would vote for Obama. Having lived there, my memories, though few, pegged the state as being red beyond the ability to change.

A night of historic change, indeed.

Be sure you vote

by Jason Lillard

There is almost no line to vote at the polling place next to Riverside City College on Terracina in California.

If you haven't voted yet, make sure you do. Don't be one to sit this out! Don't take it for granted that your side will win, make sure you're voting.

Arizona update

MSNBC says Arizona is too close to call at this point.

McCain's own state? That's embarrassing.

Provisional ballots

The biggest problem Democratic volunteers are facing today is provisional ballots.

For those who don't know provisonal ballots are what you fill out when they can't find your name on the roster.

According to the Democratic office in Riverside, apparently, today people who have lived in districts there entire lives are being told that their names aren't on the list.

Several districts are reporting provisional ballots in the 50s and 60s.

The concern us that if Obama wins California by a landslide they won't count provisionals and that will impact congressional races and propositions.

We will continue to keep track of this developing story.

Results as of 5 p.m.

Obama:
Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Illinois.
77 Electoral votes

McCain:
Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tenessee, South Carolina
34 Electoral votes
