Is there a piece of software out there for Windows Mobile that will show the votes reported tonight as they com in, like on new sites where they are constantly updating the number of electoral votes for each candidate live as they come in?

Is there a vote ticker software like that for Windows Mobile?

I would love to be able to see the progress of the vote counts while I am playing multiplayer Mariokart Wii on my bigscreen without having to switch back and forth on the TV inputs ;)

Thanks,

Use RSS Hub and search for the elections update feed...

Hmm, where's RSS Hub downloadable? I am really looking for something that can go on the Today screen that will check every minute, and just say "R: ### / D: ###" you know, something even that simple. (like if R is for republican, and D is for democrat, and ### is their current electoral vote count)

what do you mean by "where does it go"?

Just put the CAB file onto your device, then run it from there. (the CAB file is the installer, but you have to run it from the phone, not from your computer) It will let you ask, durin ginstall, if you want to install to your storage card or to your internal memory, you can choose either.

Then, you can access it by going to the start button and clicking "Viigo", or you can go into your Start menu preferences, remove the shortcut, and it will then show up in your Programs area.

I was wondering the same thing but then I remembered that none of the media stations ever report unbiased. Then I wondered how unbiased this software might be or where it gets its info from.

Doesn't matter now, it's all downhill from here.

Well, it appears that Obama has won. Congrats America on a hard fought battle - the people have spoken. :)
