It's funny, if only because American voting patterns tend to be the exact opposite.
Democrats vote before the election. Republicans in the mornings, and democrats tend to vote late.
So really, in yoru typical election democrats have a lead going into election day, Republicans then take the lead, and the end of the day is decided by how many democrats go out and vote at the end of the day.

Missed that... Which i also find confusing because well... from everything i remember. Gore was favored to win in all of the polls. It's part of why everybody was so pissed. I remember Gore having like a 10% poll advantage a month or so before the election then somehow losing.
Maybe i'm thinking of exit polling at the end I dunno. |
Remeber Gore did win the popular vote, and if every vote in Florida was recounted he had a good chance at winning the electoral vote.

He didn't win by 10%.

The polls didn't have him 10% up. That's an absurd advantage.
