Looks like gay marriage will pass in Maryland and Maine. Too close to call in Minn, too early to call in Washington.
And in a psuedo-vote on gay marriage, looks at this point like Justice Wiggins will be retained in Iowa over the objection of Bob Vander Plaats and his homophobia, though it's probably also too close to call for certain. At the least, it's a lot closer than 2 years ago, and Wiggins is far and away the worst of the bunch (I might have voted against him in any other year).

NY 21 stays blue with Owens and NY 24 is a blue pickup with Dan Maffei returning to office.

Bachmann ahead by 654 with 201/280 precincts reporting. She's now at 49.9% of the total vote. Who the hell are these people writing in?

Margin for Bachmann down to 573 after 3 more precincts came in. Yes votes for Marriage Proposal at 49.05%. I imagine there's going to be a sh*t show if that proposal doesn't pass because of the whole 'blank ballots count as a no' thing.
EDIT: 211/280 and Graves jumps to a 1157 vote lead.

230/280 and Bachman is ahead by just under 1000 (tired of doing subtraction). Looks like both amendments are going to fail. Not too long ago I checked which precincts still needed to report, and it seemed like a fairly even split between ones in Hennepin/St Louis counties (decidedly in favor of no) and other outlying counties (decidedly yes). Marriage at 47.33%, Voter ID at 45.77%.

239/280 Bachmann by 1864
AP called Voter ID as a no, nothing yet on marriage, but I'm guessing no on that one as well...
EDIT: AP called Marriage amendment as defeated.

Good job by New Hampshire....
Governor = Maggie Hassan
Congress = Carol Shea-Porter, Ann Kuster
Senate = Jeanne Shaheen, Kelly Ayotte
I think that's the first time a state's major elected officials are 100% female.

It looks like there's an automatic manual recount if the difference is .5% or less, and I wouldn't be surprised if the eventual loser ponies up the money for a manual recount even if the gap increases beyond that.
EDIT: At this point it looks like Bachmann has it, only thing left in question appears to be if it'll stay close enough to automatically trigger a manual recount.

Minnesota voting no on the marriage amendment and the voter ID law means that the GOP majority that swept into the Minnesota House in 2010 accomplished nothing. Congratulations on wasting your opportunity by trying to deface the Minnesota Constitution.

At least Bachmann won. I don't agree with her crazy religious stuff, but at least she won't actively try to **** us all over like most of the other liberal pieces of **** that were elected. Glad that at least my district is represented by a Republican.
The fact that the voter ID act was shot down is pure bull****. Have some common ****ing sense you ****ing cocksucking pieces of ****! Makes me sick.

Re: Elections 2012.2 - Congressional and Gubernatorial
The saddest thing in this whole election cycle for me was we had a literally crazy person win our state house seat (thanks Marquette!) by running his whole campaign against how the incumbent plans to secretly put arsenic and mercury in everyone's drinking water and kill all the people. Yes, he won with that. Nothing else bothered me quite as much as people buying into that kind of politics.

Great criteria to vote by, thinking people!
It really astonishes me how shallow the mob can be. Nothing against these ladies in particular, if they figured that would get them elected then great for them.
