Nate Silver of Five Thirty Eight ran one last projection for Florida, and this is what he has:

YOINKS.

So, naturally, Florida is prepared and ready to churn out a smooth election. And by “ready to churn out a smooth election,” we mean “Florida is totally going to Florida up the 2012 Election.”

So far, voting problems have been rampant in Broward/Palm Beach.

Ballot counting snags and missing precincts in West Palm, ballot misprints in Palm Beach Gardens, no ballots in Delray Beach. Floriderp.

There’s going to be glitches and problems on Election Day, naturally. 

But when it’s Florida, the entire country clenches their buttholes and hopes to the Baby Jesus that we don’t screw things up again — as we are wont to do.

We’ll be updating this post throughout the day
