Ohio continued

In Columbus and other Ohio cities, long lines remain, perhaps hours long. Democrats have sued successfully to get paper ballots for voters in line, so they won't be there until midnight. Apparently there were fewer voting machines than even in 2000 in some polling places, although everyone knew turnout would be higher.

North Carolina and South Carolina have been called for Bush, as expected, but both didn't come in as soon as expected. Arkansas at 8:30 is too early to call.

Barak Obamba has won the Senate in Illinois, as expected. Too close to call in PA, South Carolina, North Carolina Senate races, which is good for Dems.
