A thread to discuss the results.
I feel like Lamb has a lot of momentum, has run as a moderate, and has run a better campaign. I'll predict he'll win tonight (although I'd like to see Saccone win).
NYT does a good job with election results.

Nate Cohn now saying that Westmoreland is not going to report by precinct. As a result NYT may turn off if needles as it will be impossible to model results if they do not report by precinct.
Read they are not reporting tonight. IDK. Rural, “dark Ages”
Looks like the map doesn't work for Westmoreland, but the precincts are still reporting and being counted.
“Going to be close. From the NYT under “Estimated Votes Remaining”
“We think about 147,000 votes remain to be counted. We think Mr. Saccone leads in that vote by about 6 points.””
If my math is correct that would mean Saccone would gain around 8,820 votes if true.
So you know this Cong district PA 18.
“Exactly right. Like Alabama, this should have been a formality.”
You can make any election close if you burn a ton of cash and run candidates that are not representatives of the current state of their party :-).
I’m starting to worry now. I went from optimistic to “concerned” ... ugh.
Losing now by 7,650, with 366 precincts
Better to have Trump in WH than Hillary.
Why do people say formality? The party in presidential power usually takes a beating in mid terms. Obama was generally personally popular but Dems lost the House and Senate on his watch.
Trump is generally personally unpopular but his results are good. Regardless I’m not surprised Dems will gain in House and Senate it’s normal politics.

Could be worse. You might like him worse, in which it will be perfectly clear whom we are talking about.
55% Lamb now.
I feel Lamb wins by a small margin.
> Elizabeth Forward, Jefferson Hills, Pleasant Hills <
Those aren’t old mill towns. I’d be interested in how places like Monessen voted.
That formula certainly hasn’t worked in TX.
Yeah, at some point votes have to be made up, so Saccone isn't looking real good right now if there isn't some kind of slow reporting going on.
It’s midway down on the right side under “Estimated Votes Remaining.” Now down to 131,000 votes. The think Saccone gets 8% of that. I am not so confident of that.
NYT graph not showing Westmoreland County.
But it is shown here:

With a statewide vote in freaking AL it should have been a formality. Same goes for a district that Trump carried by +20 points.
I don’t know what you mean but that.
Saccone trails by 5,188 with 421 precincts
