(When clicking into the video, Colbert's intro for Silver starts around the 12:07 mark after the break and Silver is brought on around the 16:07 mark after the next break, good stuff, well worth watching.)

In doing research on Florida and verifying our stats one last time for the night, we came across this cool story to share.įor anyone who finds all the stats involved in the election process to be fascinating, or has a general appreciation for numbers crunching and cool ways to present data in a variety of charts and graphs, a must read is the "Five Thirty Eight" blog over at The New York Times, featuring Nate Silver's "Political Calculus", the blog is cleverly named after the total number of electoral votes. We just updated the popular vote in this thread one more time before snuggling up in bed for the night, and checked to see if Florida had been officially put in the books yet, it has not.

Just saying, Cagesiders, just saying.īut we do continue to see new numbers being reported every few minutes regarding the overall US Popular Vote, and the percentages that correlate with that - so of course we will continue to update that section in this post below until every single vote has been counted, Cagesiders. pretty sad that the CSSGMT vote tally process is more high tech, accurate and efficient than those of the State of Florida. Still no new updates coming out of Florida regarding FINAL vote tallies.

However, as of Monday morning, almost 6 full days since the polls closed, we still do not have any final numbers for the vote totals coming out of the Sunshine state.
Eventually they did give projections, and the major news networks finally gave Florida to Obama by "officially" painting Florida blue on their election maps, like we did last week here at Cageside Seats.
Over the weekend the deadline for straggling Florida counties to turn in their estimated vote totals came and went. We will continue to keep you updated until this thing is finally finalized.
