Lamb vs. Saccone Special Election PA18

NY Times ^ | March 13, 2018

[Pinkbell]

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.

We actually don’t know on precinct level as Westmoreland is not reporting votes that way.

[Repeal 16-17]

Now it’s Lamb with 49.9 and Saccone with 49.5 with 93% of precincts in.

[Theodore R.]

Loss down to 703, with 94 percent of precincts reporting

[Soros Billions]

I think I know how this ends :(

[napscoordinator]

Down to 1 percent.....I think Saccone wins in a squeaker. Still ashamed after Trump won it by 20 percent. Oh well, I guess at this point I’ll be happy if he wins it by one vote. Just win dang it. All I want is to shut the Democrats up. They will be horrible the next couple days if Lamb wins.

Lamb only leads by 700 but will win....red areas out of Bullets

[Pinkbell]

That’s the question, although it seems to happen to every President - the opposition party is motivated. The Republicans need to find out why Republicans aren’t motivated. What are they unhappy with? Have to know to see what to change. They need to be sending out surveys.

[basalt]

theyre at the top of the stretch...and Affirmed has a nose in front...lol

[napscoordinator]

lol. Now .05 difference.....I think we might see a 1 vote difference.

Where are you hearing red areas out of bullets?

[martinidon]

They are going to be horrible anyway. A close loss is a big win to them....

[Art in Idaho]

An estimated 40,000 votes outstanding using NYTs original estimate of 225,000 total votes.

Thanks. There's still some hope. Never give up!

[Soros Billions]

from your lips to Gods Ear.

[JPJones]

Recount for sure.

[edh]

Yeah, very close. On the plus side, they reported parts of Monroeville (Dem stronghold in Westmorland Cty) in that last drop ... and Saccone has a few strongholds left to report!
