Election Night '84 - 11:01
11:01
Once again we’re just past the hour here and there are a few results we’ve been holding back. In addition, polls are now closed along the West Coast, and while we can’t make any projections for those vote-rich states, we are able to call Hawaii for Governor Lamm. No very big surprise there, though there was some concern in the state regarding his immigration policy. We’re also ready to call Wisconsin for the Democrat.
And very good news for the president at this time, he wins his home state of Illinois with its very significant haul of 24 electoral votes. That means all three candidates have won the state they most recently called home tonight, something that doesn’t always happen. In addition, we’re projecting Iowa, another swing state, Iowa, goes to President Anderson. And let’s take a look at all the states that are too close to call or too early to call at this time...
Anderson: 128
Buckley: 65
Lamm: 135
Polls are closed now everywhere except Alaska, if you live in Alaska you still have time to get to the polls. Everything else in gray the polls have closed. Several of them are only just closing now as they've been held open late by judicial rulings. All of them are still counting, and once again voter participation is breaking all modern records. We're all excited to get that bottom line figure, but it's probably going to be days if not weeks before we know what percentage of the country has pulled the lever this year.
