>So, I look at Maine and it says that there are 2 votes for Obama and 1 for McCain and there is a check next to Obama's name indicating he won the state. I'm looking at other states and the numbers just don't make sense either. Why have such a slick tool if the results are screwy?

I think the checkmark is based on the exit polls, not on the actual voting. Check out Maryland. No precincts have reported, nobody has any votes, but Obama has a checkmark.
