2017: Whither Democrats?

So there’s still 2 precincts left in the dumb part of PA18 to report aside from absentees, which could easily give the lead to the R guy. But whichever way absentees decide it.

Guy on CNN just gave the voting totals from Allegheny county in the most profoundly stupid way possible, but the end result was that Lamb gained like 700 votes to his lead.

Not that easily. Many precincts won by Saccone have less than 200 voters in all. Getting +95 out of <400 voters is tough even in Westmoreland, where overall Saccone got 57%.

Washington said they aren’t even counting their 1000 absentee ballots until tomorrow.

Trump supporter Jason Miller on CNN is talking about how Trump helped Saccone make this such a close race.

This is pretty big; those absentee ballot totals everyone’s got?

They’re ballot sent out, not ballots returned.

So although Allegheny County sent out 3,750, they reported 3100 votes.

(Trust Wasserman. He’s a data guy.)

Now Washington county says they are going to count them tonight.
Also, the election commissioner from Washington sounds like he’s maybe a MILLION years old, and is saying they are going to scan the ballots, and then do a hand count. Because… ?

That’s hilarious

Holy christ, if you want to be afraid, turn on CNN and listen to the Washington election commissioner… cause that sounds like a straight up shitshow.

Are those two remaining precincts reporting in via buggy whip?
