We have 9 minutes left to see whom replaces Cox for our district, anyone hear how it is going?

Any bets?

[Diddle E. Squat]

They close at 7:56 pacific?

[Diddle E. Squat]

NINE! (Again)

[HighWheeler]

Wow. You provided WAY too much detail to follow this landmark event. We can't keep up, here in the other 49 states.

Nothing up yet.

Very light turnout, only 4% at 4 pm. About 70% of the ballots will be absentee I imagine. Campbell and Brewer had the most active absentee ballot campaign. We might get a sense of whether Campbell will win this tonight very soon. He will probably need about 55% of the absentee vote to lock it up, because I suspect he will do worse, much worse, with those that voted today, few that they are. I predicted yesterday that Campbell would get 42%, Brewer 28% (with a lot of Dem votes), Dems 20%, Gilchrist 8%, others 2%. It was a wild guess. We shall see just how good this wild guess of mine turn out to be, and sooner rather than later.

This is my CD by the way. I voted for Campbell by absentee, two weeks ago.

Remind me who the Minuteman is again?

[Torie]

Gilchrist, the AIP party candidate.

[NormsRevenge]

some very early numbers up...

[Torie]

It looks like Campbell will fall just short, with 51.9% with the absentees. I am surprised the Brewer numbers are so low. Dems just didn't vote in this election apparently. That is what gives Campbell his chance to wrap it up tonight. My Gilchirst 8% number is looking pretty good. :)

We won't get any more numbers for 2 to 3 hours I suspect.

Dewey Wins ... lol

[Dan from Michigan]

Looks like no runoff.

I was WAY off, especially with the dems. I figured they would turn out.

[Torie]

No, read my posts. Campbell will probably fall short by a couple or three percent.

[calcowgirl]

Maybe you can get the Admin Mod to add "48th CD Election Results" to this thread title. I had posted the same results (thus far) over on the John and Ken thread from earlier today.

[Torie]

I toss the ball to your court. Granted, nothing more will happen on this thread for a couple of hours. The count of election day ballots is just so glacial in California.

[calcowgirl]

Oops--sorry Torie.
I thought it was your thread.
I guess my suggestion should have gone to ed coil.

[Dan from Michigan]

I'm thinking Michigan time, not California time. I figured those were final numbers, not just absentees.

[fallujah-nuker]

We had a poster jscottdavis_for_48th_district who claimed to be running in the 48th as a Republican but he seemed more interested in digging up dirt on Gilchrist. I see that his account was suspended. He reminded me of MD4Bush.
