AP is maintaining vote-count pages for both the NY special election and the Nevada special election for the US House

New York District 9, Weprin v Turner

Nevada District 2, Amodei v Marshall

Turner will have the legacy of replacing a sausage...

[rockrr]

Ain’t that the damnable truth.

According to the US Constitution, memmbers of the House only have to be residents of the state in which the district is located. I assume the Framers deemed it wouldn’t be necessary to make it a requirement due to the fact that no one would vote for someone to represent them who “wasn’t on of them”.

[redshawk]

Yep, I would agree with you that the DOJ is ready, willing, and able to screw us such that 0pansy gets re-elected.

[popdonnelly]

Democratic politicians have zero principles. And they get elected to be our political leaders.

[dynachrome]

Well, I am glad the Weiner pulled out and let Weprin run.

[Drango]

Bump so I can find this thread later.

[theDentist]

"Well????? We're waiting."

[PLD]

Me too!!My Dish TV is on the blink so can’t get any numbers through that.I guess I will be surprised in the morning..I just pray for NY to vote for the good guy and also the same for NV..

[shield]

Just leading by 6%...the dems steal elections with only a 6% lead.

[PapaBear3625]

No results posted yet. Perhaps it means the Dems are still thinking about whether they will be able to make up the votes in time.

[spacejunkie01]

why would you post a pic of Bill O’Reilly?

[NYCslicker]

someone set off a thumper and then yell if you get votesign

[Col Frank Slade]

Where is Spaulding ?

Washington Times: Hoyer spins NY-9 race calling it 'not a predictor' of Dems' political future

[God luvs America]

i find it strange to....30 minutes after the polls close and not even the smallest of precincts reporting???

[cc2k]

Does either state have an official website with the numbers?

I don't see anything on the AP sites, and I am wondering whether "Approved Propaganda" is filtering the results, not wanting to show anything if the Party's candidate (the 'media Party', aka the party favored by the Propaganda Ministry) is not faring well.

Of course, I suspect that the New York Secretary of State is also in that Party, and that could be where the holdup is.

Any bets as to how many votes will be "found" 3 days after the election?

[SamAdams76]

Something sinister is afoot in this election. Had the Democrat won, the MSM would be trumpeting it right now and hailing Obama as the "comeback kid".

[ArmstedFragg]

Lots of Twitter posters mentioning the district will be eliminated in redistricting. Apparently it’s a Dem talking point.
