Bush wins Guam, err won
This is legal! Guam is 15 hours ahead of the East Coast. They were voting while you were sleeping last night.

Slight problem: Guam has no electors. Any vote for president there was a meaningless referendum.
(Guam is a US Territory, and Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth. I think the last US protectorate, legally, was either Greenland, or the country of Panama.)

I think the last US protectorate was the Philippines. I don't believe the US has ever had any rights to or responsibilities regarding Greenland, except perhaps briefly during WWII (during the intervals when Denmark was occupied).
Actually, it's possible that the last US protectorate was Okinawa. It hasn't been all that long since we turned it back over to Japan.

Okinawa, good call.
Of course, there's also the Sovereign State of Socialist Berkeley.

Last time I checked, we weren't able to vote. Perhaps Bobo and the rest of the Radio Pacific crew was posting results that they got off the wire?
