Bush went forward

Currently, the US elections are counting in the States from California to Connecticut, reports AP. Meanwhile, according to the data already received, Bush won in 23 states, including the "front -line" West Virginia, and received a total of 204 votes of electors.

Kerry won the 12th States and County of Colombia, winning 188 votes of electors. 24 votes of the States of Pennsylvania and Menn can be considered a special success of Kerry. In addition, one percent more voters voted for Kerry in Florida. Meanwhile, Florida is one of the most populated states, which gives the college of electors of 27 votes. It was in this state that the outcome of the elections in 2000 was determined.

Meanwhile, according to Reuters, the latest data based on the results of Exit Polls, predicted by American television channels on 23.15 Tuesday (07:15 Moscow time) are as follows: Bush has 210 votes of electors, Kerry has 200 votes.

American media do not publish surveys. According to the Air Force, the television channels promised not to report who this or that state voted for, until the last polling station was closed in the United States.

Observers note an unusually high turnout. Apparently, the 1968 record will be broken - then voting was at the height of the Vietnamese War. It is expected that in the current election the turnout will be 60% of the number of voters, reports Bloomberg.
