No word are to who was leading in the pre-election vote count.

You think someone will be elected this time around?

Doesn't look like it.
The consensus among the talking heads is that if a state doesn't have
a 4 percent or so margin of victory for one or the other candidate,
the 'loser' is almost certain to challenge on some ground or other.
Since this one looks to be so close, many of the 10 or so battleground
states won't have that much difference between the candidates. Which
means Florida 2000 several times over.

The good news is that people *are* voting in record numbers.
