Romney Wins the 47%

Four years ago, Barack Obama’s popular vote total continued to grow for weeks and weeks after the election as states completed counting up all their overseas and provisional and absentee ballots. The same thing is happening this year, and Obama is now nearly up to 51% of the vote, while Romney has fallen below 48 percent. As this diarist points out, Romney is now stuck at 47.9%, which is an ironic number for him to have, no? How did he get stuck with the moochers?
