Quote :

In early Ellis County results
— paper ballots have yet to be counted —
challenger Glenn Diehl leads incumbent Dennis Pfannenstiel 1,600 to 1,428 for a seat on the Ellis County Commission.

In the other Ellis County Commission race, incumbent Vernon Berens leads challenger John Schmeidler 1,933 to 1,316.

In local ballot propositions, the $5 million Hadley bond issue designed to fund an expansion of county offices is failing by a count of 2,020 to 3,792.

A sales tax issue that would fund a proposed sports complex in Hays is passing 4,011 to 3,226.

Also I just want to say this

Now see THIS is why the electoral college is crap. And I am NOT saying this because McCain is losing. The President of this country should be decided by who the freaking people vote for, not this electoral college crap.

Apparently they are calling these races pretty much over now. Still from the HDN just posted

sums up my feelings as well on alot of the results

I just have to laugh flipping between CNN and Foxnews how they electoral counts are different. I still can't understand how they predict someone to win a state when the state still have 0% of the precints reporting.

Ellis County 100% of Votes Counted

County Commission District 2

Dennis Pfannenstiel (D-Inc) 1699

Glenn Diehl (R) 1901


County Commission District 3

Vernon Berens (D-Inc) 2326

John Schmeidler (R) 1618


Hadley Center $5 million revenue bond issue
Yes 4021

No 7512


1/2% sales tax for the sports complex
Yes 4596

No 3683

I would rather put my money on kids, than local leaders. They make more sense.

Now wait a fucking minute, how can they say that Obama has won California and Washington when their fucking votes haven't been counted. If I lived in those states I would be pissed.

Congratulations President Obama!

CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT OBAMA---

Don't look like my libertarian vote caused McCain to lose. I agree L2C. The damn electoral vote stinks. Some states get way too many votes, especially California with 55.

DX.. California is full of minorities, gays, and ultra liberal nuts. Not likely McCain has a chance there.

Prepare to see riots. The United States of America will never be the same. This is history in the making......

I am very glad I live in a small town.

I HAVE 3 QUESTIONS:

1.) How long will it be before the offical word has been made?

2.) Is there enough of a margin in any of the local races where the paper ballots and the provisional ballots will make a change in the results?

3.) What about the race between Alberta Klaus and write in canidate Dottie Staab?

You figure whites will riot, or that blacks will celebrate by looting and burning their own neighborhoods as we've seen before?

the sports complex issues follows with Obama's win. Now is this like Pelosi, 100 days in January and everything will be good and we will all be worth $26,000 ?

did you mean XXXXX?

both ratz....

why can't I say XXXXX? I can refer to anybody white as whitey, but can't say XXXXX?

why?

what are you talkin about? what word is that supposed to be?

Niger is a country.

Cool! I qualify for his welfare check. I was going to send it back , but just for you, I think I'll buy me an HDTV, thanks, guys!!!!

Slickjay, you better hope not too many Supreme Court justices die or you and your cat may have the gun confiscation squads at the door. I expect abolishment of the right to keep and bear will be a big thought in our new Socialist in Chiefs mind when choosing justices.
