Election Results

[Kerry]

Anyone know when we can expect the first returns?

[bornhere]

Fairly quickly, but the question is where will they be reported. I checked the TV and newsok web sites and didn't see any placeholders for returns. Did they follow them during the bond issue last year, or just report the finals?

I thought we have to wait until 10 pm to check out the results?

I'm trying to remember the details... but it used to be that you could get those incrementally, and it was just a matter of having someone at the election board to keep track. So you could put someone at each of the county election boards overseeing an election (which would be three, I guess, in this case) and track the returns as they came in from the precincts. You could get some by 7:15 or 7:20, but other might not come in until very late.


That's been years ago, though. I don't think anyone bothers to do that anymore. I don't even know if it's still possible.

Home | Vote Yes March 4! and News9.com - Oklahoma City, OK - News, Weather, Video and Sports | Home have place holders with % return spots bu right now they are all reading 0.

Great. Thanks.

[Pete]

On the News9 site with 1% of the precincts reporting, YES is winning at about 58%.

Long way to go, but a good sign!

We used to place people at all the precincts.... they post the vote totals by about 7:20pm.... thats how we always knew where we stood.

[Pete]

Now with 4% in, YES is getting about 60% of the vote.

Looking very good!

And that's pretty close to what the polls were showing.

[JWil]

Up that much this early is a great great sign! Yes it's still early, but I really doubt if a precinct went hard in a certain direction, that it would be to the negative. Anything in a precinct blowout is likely in the YES area IMO, so within another 10 percent, this thing could be really close to nailed down.

Great early returns.

Yes: 1907 No: 1368 so far.

No: 5328, 39.8 percent


waiting for a mod to approve this is putting the count way behind.

[DVDFreaker]

Any idea when the results will be over?

[SWOKC 4 me]

59.3% YES with 15 % reporting -- over 1800 votes ahead. I am feeling better!

[FritterGirl]

Starting to exhale!

[DVDFreaker]

It's going to pass easily

[dcsooner]

DVD, Man I hope you are right!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got three tabs open in Firefox going.

One on OKCtalk, one on the Oklahoman's election results, and one on CNN to watch the presidential election results.

McCain has swept the Repubs. No close race there. ABC reporting that Huckabee will pull out tomorrow.

Looks to be a long haul - as expected - for the Dems.

[DVDFreaker]

I am guessing when it gets to 100% of preicients, I guess the results is final

[AFCM]

62 YES
38 NO

As of 19:55
36% of precincts reported


A third of the way there and things are looking good. Does anyone else feel really proud to have voted today, especially when the outcome looks so bright?

[DVDFreaker]
