So it is all over bar the actual counting, which will take until Romney wins, going by recent history.

Well, we know what happened there don't we?. -
Vermont, although a safe Blue State, looks like a landslide for Obama compared to '08

Florida is going to be interesting, again. 50-50 @ 3.30
A stunning 23 percent of African Americans, the highest figure in the nation, cannot vote due to laws on felon disenfranchisement in Florida. A law signed by Gov. Rick Scott (R) in 2011 also limits voting rights, by making it harder for ex-felons to restore their eligibility and cutting early voting days nearly in half. The result has been chaos during early voting in places like Miami-Dade County, where people have waited in line for as many as eight hours. Florida also has a photo ID law.

It could be worse

I’m guessing here. The larger States, with the exception of California of course, would tend to be more rural and that would help the Right who tend to find a support base amongst people that live under rocks. So early results would favour the toads.

Also, nuts that Californians get to sit and watch results out east and then decide if they’re going to vote.
I can't see how that is a bad thing. Surely it would just encourage people to vote?.

@Ross
Counter intuitive but true. -
Looking at the results map I have noticed that those called for Romney tend to be the larger States whereas those called for Obama are smaller ones. It seems strange to me that the larger States can get their results in faster than small ones, I would have thought it the other way round. Any ideas?.
