Mitt Romney is now very close to ...

[Tender Branson]

47.47% nationally.



Wikipedia keeps track of the latest state results and currently Romney has 47.54%

It would be nice if he actually hit 47.47 there at some point, so I can screenshot it ...

47.5079% as we speak!

He'll for sure get to 47.44% or lower, so we can round it down to 47% ...

47.48% now ...

Just 0.01 to go !

What are you looking at? Wasserman still has it at 47.5036%.

If it gets down to 47.44%, I'll be happy. 

It will probably go even lower than that, because OH's 300.000 votes are still missing and probably a lot of votes in NY as well.

Regarding New York State, I looked up a few of the biggest counties outside NYC (which doesn't have live updates) and found the following:

Nassau County:

264,752   52.79 Obama, 231,529   46.17 Romney (county website numbers)
243,649    52.87 Obama, 212,882   46.20 Romney (Atlas numbers)

Westchester County:

OBAMA/BIDEN  Totals    228,451    62%
ROMNEY/RYAN  Totals    137,764    37%

(Atlas numbers)

Barack H. Obama   171,908    60.38%
Willard Mitt Romney   108,707    38.18%

Based on this, we can expect quite a vote dump update by Dec. 14 ...

Some of the NJ county clerk pages also report a significantly higher turnout than Dave's or Wikipedia's numbers (Obama's percentage remained about the same though in the ones I've checked).
