Breaking: CT Election Site down

[Kelvin Mace]

Just announced on MSNBC (Keith Obermann)

Looking at the site, my guess is it has collapsed under the load.

[Debi]

1. Did the SOS blame Lamont? Or the Liberal Bloggers?

:eyes:

[Journeyman]

2. It was Joe Lieberman. . .

one final, desperate attempt to stave off the inevitable. . .

[Kelvin Mace]

9. Now, now, that is Lieberman's job

[davidinalameda]

3. why not both?

as long as we're spreading the blame around

:bounce:

[DanCa]

4. User over flow probably caused it.

Thats what i am going with unless Joe's numbers drastically turn around while the website is dark.

[mom cat]

7. If they do then we have to start screaming tonight and take a tip

from our compadres south of the border and fight like our lives depended on it.

[Roland99]

5. AP has results. Lamont up 26k vs. 19k with 14.2% reporting.

[Blackhatjack]

6. Hmm.. Joe backers taking a little look see as to how many votes they need

Will there be a big surge, maybe just big enough, at the end to snatch it for Joe?

[Kelvin Mace]

8. Oh, please

Edit, stupidly misread your post.

No, I don't think it was Joe supporters.

[onehandle]

10. Diebold is Flipping the Numbers!!!

Confess. You really thought that. Didn't you.

[Kelvin Mace]

11. Lever machines

not Diebold.

[onehandle]

12. Quiet!

I know that. You know that.

They don't know that.

[Kelvin Mace]

17. Ooops...

Sorry!

:rofl:

[Teaser]

13. alright, which one of you hacked it?

16. 9:13 EDT

Lieberman was trailing with 44 percent, or 25,596 votes, to political novice Ned Lamont's 56 percent, or 32,840 votes, with 19 percent of precincts reporting.

[pinerow]

18. The Courant has the latest...lamont 56...joe 44

[Roland99]

20. Down to 7.3% lead for Lamont with 38.3% reporting

[Roland99]

22. Now a 4.2% lead with 50.3% reporting.

[Peace Patriot]

19. Here's a thread with good descriptions of CT's voting system...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1851168

But I can't get the question answered, how do the mechanical machine's results--which seem very hard to fiddle--get to the electronic system that tabulates all, and feeds to the official site?

Interesting that the one electronic component of the system is the one that goes down.

Is it Mexico yet?

[Kelvin Mace]

21. I am posting results on the quarter hour

on my site:

[Roland99]

23. CNN's Crowley reporting live now that Lieberman MAY have the lead

[Roland99]

24. Lamont up 3.2% with 64.7% reporting.

[TroglodyteScholar]

25. Joementum??

The Hartford Courant reporting:

484 of 748 Precincts Reporting - 64.71%

Ned - 51.6%
Joe - 48.4%

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2006/by_state/CT_Page_0808.html?SITE=CTHARELN&SECTION=POLITICS

[Roland99]

26. Lamont up 3.5% with 76.9% reporting.

[Roland99]

27. 3.4% with 81.3% reporting.

[Roland99]

28. 3.7% with 83.6%

[modrepub]

29. Liberman was down

by at least 5,000 votes an hour ago. By last count it is now down almost 9,000 votes. He should be conceding now and planning on turning petitions in tomorrow.

It's not an overwhelming victory but I like Lemont's message that it's time to hold some people accountable for this mess! It concerns me that it appears the undecideds went to Liberman. What does that say about those who might fall for the GOP security arguments???

[Roland99]

30. 3.8% with 83.8%

Well, maybe all the undecideds were in certain precincts? Ned had a pretty good lead toward the start.

[modrepub]

31. Percentage wise its close

but if you see my9:13 post of mine Lemont has stretched his lead from 5,000 to 9,000 votes even as his percentage lead has shrunk. Right now I think Liberman is toast. I don't see how he can make up this deficit with what's left.

[Roland99]

32. yeah... 3.7% with 87% reporting...8,900 vote lead

[Zhade]

34. Are you really a moderate Republican?

If so, your post is...sane, and the support for accountability very welcome!

[modrepub]

38. Well I think I am

though I'm probably more liberal than moderate in some eyes.

I don't think I'm smart enough to have all the solutions to the mess this country is in but I do know I'm smart enough to figure out that this administration is full of people willing to continue to try fitting square pegs into round holes and Bush apologists who keep telling us this is the best we can do.

Will hope that we can change things in November but resigned to the possibility that we will still lose.

Update:

with 95% of precincts in Liberman down by +10,000 votes. Why hasn't anyone called this one? He's trailing by more votes now than my first post?

U.S. Senate - - Dem Primary
713 of 748 Precincts Reporting - 95.32%
Name Party Votes Pct
Lamont, Ned Dem 138,836 51.92
Lieberman, Joe (i) Dem 128,566 48.08

[Roland99]

33. Lamont up 3.2% with 89.2% reporting

[Roland99]

35. 3.5% with 93.9% reporting! 8,600 vote lead.

[Roland99]

37. 3.5% with 94.4% reporting... 9,100 vote lead.

Looks pretty secure for Lamont.

I'm outta here for the night!
