We're trying to get our paws on the final poll results, but ABC news is a bit... busy..
But here's what we do know....
ABC had the running results hidden. But there was a little obscure link (that ABC apparently didn't know about) that would display a map showing, state by state, how it was going. We snabbed some info at about 4:00 PM (the polling went from 6 AM to 6 PM.) Here's how the map looked then. The color indicates who is ahead in a given state; green is Shakes. Blue is Ol Stuga (KS); red is Camelia Grill (LA); and orange is Sandwich University (WV).
Screen Shot at about 4:00 Sunday:
It appeared that we were blowing them out of the water.
If you put your cursor on a state, you got a box that showed total votes for that state, and who they were for. So while we didn't have totals, we had a state by state idea.
We recorded some of the date in a spread sheet. We couldn't snab all the states (we had to go make pizzas!), and the vote was on-going. But here's the info that we had as of about 4:00: We had 72% of the 15,486 votes at that time,
more than two and a half times as many votes as everybody else combined.
Here's a chart of some sample data that we grabbed at about 4:00:
