Tamra:

I'll start by saying that I voted for Obama, so that's my bias. However, it seems like there were a number of voting problems that seem to have disproportionately affected groups who polled for Obama. First, the Secretary of State or the County Registrar failed to register many newer voters who mailed in registration forms before the deadline -- so these newer voters had to use provisional ballots which aren't being counted. I know several people who had this problem. Second, this issue with "decline to state" voters being told they could not vote in the democratic primary (or not being told about the bubble they needed to fill) also appears to be disadvantaging Obama, who was polling well among that group. These issues are the only logical explanation for the actual returns showing Clinton 20 points ahead while exit polls and pre-election polls showed a close race between Clinton and Obama. Sounds like Florida all over again -- what a shame.

How can project Clinton won MO when Obama has the slight lead?
