2017: Whither Democrats?

On the flip side, the national GOP pumped 10 million into the local economy via media buys.

Westmoreland just did a big vote dump. Just 3% left.

Lamb clinging to a lead.

NYT and Politico are saying 563/593 (5% left)

1,000 vote lead. 5% left to report. I wish they had an estimate for how many votes are left in total.

I believe he meant 3% left in Westmoreland

Ah, yes. 10% left in Washington though I have no idea what the population is like.

About 200k

3% left in Westmoreland county.

So there’s maybe 9.5k votes left to count, 1.1k lead to Lamb.

Yep, that sounds right.

Ah, they need to count absentee votes too, since it’s so close.

I heard you like speculative modeled math, so here’s some for you:

Lamb currently leads by 1200 or so. NM, Kedaha has it first.

The terrifying thing about this is that 50% of voters in this district still think trump/GOP is just peachy. Admittedly, that’s a lot better than during 2016, but still, sheesh.

Do absentee votes tend to favour one party over the other in general?

Also listening to commentary, it sounds like absentee ballots received to date have been counted already and are part of this vote count.

And for absentees, if varies greatly now. Used to strongly favor Republicans, especially in the south, like Florida. Now, less so, as absentee ballot requirements have relaxed.

Westmoreland at 99% counted.

It’s only 10:14 for me… I’m on the east coast.

No, they are actively counting them. They just showed them doing it on TV.

Not in PA they haven’t.
