5. That's counted precincts, they stopped showing the turnout numbers
The turnout numbers never made sense on me on that site, it was always like 5 times higher then the number of votes actually counted.

6. List of precincts that HAVE NOT reported is at the following link:
http://208.112.8.222/election/2009/index.cfm?t=precinctsnotreported

Someone who knows Maine can interpret this and see whether these precincts are predominantly liberal or conservative. If it's not too early to tell.

8. Nate Silver's 'not sure' it looks too good for us right now
He says that the biggest liberal county in the state is overrepresented in the current vote count.
