In my experience it most certainly is a red flag. King County Washington always waits until all the counties have reported and then suddenly bags of missing ballots get found etc.
But I read above that Covington is McDaniel territory so nothing to fear.
Ok, here a conspiracy nightmare for ya: rankin is a big county with probably 10,000 votes left to count. it has been stuck at 68% all night. pretty evenly split right now. the overall margin is 3,000
let the freak out begin.
Covington gave Mcdaniel an extra 1100 votes. I don’t see this going back to Cockroach he may as well retire. He will lose the runoff.
