Results Update - November 11, 2008

News:

Barack Obama has carried a single electoral vote from the second congressional district (Omaha area) in Nebraska, narrowly. This is the first time any state has split electoral votes. The Nebraska GOP wants to change the state law to assign all electoral votes next election.

The final results from Florida show the results were slightly closer than originally anticipated.

South Dakota ended up being .1% closer than North Dakota, which comes very unexpected.

As for the Senate, only one change, Jeff Merkley, as projected, narrowly carried the Oregon senate seat. The last counties to come in were all heavily democratic. Now we wait on Minnesota, Alaska, and the Georgia Runoff.

I give odds on Minnesota of 60 to 40 Franken
...On Alaska 65 to 35 Begich
...On Georgia 80 to 20 Chambliss.
