GO Haley, Scott, and Lee!

[Sam Spade]

I’d pretty much call it at this point. Suspect he’d need more like a 4K margin in Salt Lake, which I don’t see occurring at this rate.

[Clintonfatigued]

“I trust this person reporting to KNOW! They’ve been closely involved in the campaign.”

Your friend may well be right. With 72% of the precincts reporting, Mike Lee is still ahead by 3%.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I still wonder why they’re withholding so many votes out of SL County. Reeks of the kind of shenanigans we expect from big Dem counties to see how many votes they need to come up with to screw the GOP winner.

[Clintonfatigued]

My eyes are bad. Is it an urban/rural split between the candidates?

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

SLC is now 51% in and Bridgewater's lead has actually shrunk to a 665 vote margin.

[Sam Spade]

Shenanigans always occur. I can only play the extrapolation game and make my best read as to how things have gone (much easier in a GE or a runoff).

FWIW, Lee will gain a few votes in what’s left out there excepting Salt Lake and Utah, as most of it is Dixie. He’s beating Bridgewater in Utah, so there should probably be a gain of a few votes there too.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Oops, make that increased...I read it wrong.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Sorta... more like a north/south split. The environs around SLC going for Bridgewater while the rest is mostly for Lee. Ironically, very rural Daggett County in the NE corner is Bridgewater's best county, going for him 65-35% (but in actual votes, 78 to 42 !).

[Clintonfatigued]

I wondered myself. However, many of the precincts in Salt Lake City don’t have many Republican voters, and therefore won’t have much effect on the primary. Mike Lee’s lead of around 3% has held steady for several hours.

[Sam Spade]

That’s because 18 precincts from Iron County (southwest Utah and home of the MMM) and 3 precincts from Washington County (same area) came in. Lee has been far outperforming in southern Utah in general.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Does this map look better ? Bridgewater counties in red, Lee in blue.

[Clintonfatigued]

80% of the precincts have reported, and Mike Lee still leads by 2.8%. I'm cautiously optimistic.

[fieldmarshaldj]

As I suspected, Bridgewater is miraculously gaining votes in SL County, from 29 votes, he’s now ahead almost 1,400. Slight decline for Lee statewide.

[Clintonfatigued]

The decline is slight, and with 85% of the precincts reporting, Mike Lee still has 51.5% of the vote. There are also other parts of the state reporting in rural Utah. It looks like the TEA Party has had a big night.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Politico just put the checkmark by Lee, he’s won it.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Utah Co. virtually all in, it lurched towards Lee, widening his statewide margin.

[Clintonfatigued]

Associated Press just called it for Mike Lee.

[fieldmarshaldj]

And with that, I have one thing to say...

“Orrin Hatch — We’re Coming For You In 2012 !”

[Clintonfatigued]

A fantastic candidate just won the primary in Utah.

[Clintonfatigued]

Tonight has been a very good night. There was only one dissapointment, where Richard Cash narrowly lost to Jeff Duncan to succeed Gresham Barrett in Congress. But Duncan is a good conservative, so it’s not a big loss.

The TEA Party has much to celebrate and so do we!
