It's probably just a rounding thing. Maybe it's like 6.8% say no and 94.2% say yes.

You mean 5.8%?

It's 93%-8% now. Holding steady...

Ah, crap. You're right.

At 10:55, Mountain, it was 9 Yes, 92, No.

Obviously part of the Bush family Math Counts Team...

Just did my bit - still 92/9.

3824 votes total (worth noting to see how the numbers move up as the Evil Infidels invade)

PS: The 101% is rounding, of course - but if they're rounding properly, it should only happen when both sides end in 0.5 (eg 94.5, 5.5). I can't believe that's been the case all the way through. They're probably rounding everything up. A sort of tithing, I suppose.

Now it's 91-10. YAY!
