CDZ 2014 Mid-Term Election returns thread

Yep, here comes the wave. Fox calls NC for Purdue!

 

[Katzndogz]

Purdue won over Nunn. He got 55% and avoids a runoff.

 

[EconChick]

Yep, feels like the wave happening as we speak....can't believe Nunn lost GA

Wake County, a high-population Democratic stronghold, has submitted the last of its precinct vote counts. Mecklenburg County is still incomplete. Almost all of the Republican-leaning portions of the state are done. These are the numbers with 93.14% of precincts reporting in:

Thom Tillis	REP	1,336,761	49.10 %
Kay Hagan	DEM	1,279,063	46.98 %
Sean Haugh	LIB	101,951	3.74 %
Write-In (Miscellaneous)	4,910	0.18 %

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Hagan needs to sweep Mecklenburg County with a record margin in order to overcome a 53,000 vote deficit.

And I am unaware of how NC treats absentee and military ballots.

She's already got an over 40,000 vote lead there, just as in Wake.

Kay Hagan	DEM	114,113	59.17 %
Thom Tillis	REP	73,714	38.22 %
Sean Haugh	LIB	4,724	2.45 %
Write-In (Miscellaneous)	318	0.16 %

It seems likely to me that this will expand somewhat, but not by enough to close the gap on its own. There are 195 precincts in Wake County, 126 of which have been reported.

The last few thousand votes to come in will decide the election, and they'll be scattered throughout the state, in Lenoir, New Hanover, Cleveland, and Forsyth counties. New Hanover is an almost dead even 50-50 tie.

It looks like Tillis will walk away with this one.

Just how do you do that little graph thingy?

It's actually annoying as hell and I'm trying to not do it, but I can't (patriarchal e-oppression, etc.); it just pastes that way when I copy it from the source.

Which is here, if you need it: http://enr.ncsbe.gov/ElectionResults/

And the one for Kentucky: KY - Election Results

Ah, cool. Thanks

Tillis is ahead with 93 percent of the precincts reporting but still to close to call as at least one heavy dem district is slow reporting.

Mecklenburg County - a HUGE county, and a DEM blowout zone. But even with that information, I am wondering if Hagan can close a 53,000 vote deficit.

The other problem is with "100%".

Often, a precinct or county will be listed at 100% in, but there are always straggler votes that are added after the fact, also absentee ballots and military ballots, depending on that particular state's election rules.

Nathan Deal wins re-election in Georgia's gubernatorial race.

Another HUGE win for Republicans!

 

[tuhaybey]

What on Earth are you talking about?

The Republican voters screwed up tonight. Royally. Again. They just don't seem to be informed enough or smart enough to carry out their responsibility to vote in a sensible manner and we all continually suffer the consequences of their failure. They don't even seem to be trying to do better.

 

[Papageorgio]

Republicans have a 50-45 lead for the Senate. One more win and they take the Senate.

 

[Statistikhengst]

CNN is now projecting that Walker (R) wins re-election in Wisconsin.

CNN tends to call most everything later than other news stations.

 

[LiberalMedia]

Yep, here comes the wave. Fox calls NC for Purdue!

It's not 2008.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Republicans have a 50-45 lead for the Senate. One more win and they take the Senate.

Correct.

 

[Statistikhengst]

CNN calls California for Jerry Brown (D) and New Mexico for Susana Martinez (R), Matt Mead (R) in Idaho and Doug Ducey (R) in Arizona. All gubernatorial races.

What planet do you live on? May I come for a visit?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

The 7th Congressional district went to a Republican in NC, first time in 143 years. So much for the claim that the only reason Republicans win is because of gerrymandering.

Republicans have won NY-1

That's a shame, Tim's a friend of mine.

There's always a winner and a loser. Many will come away beaten and almost as many will feel the thrill of victory.

True. I don't live in NY anymore, and Suffolk County is such a terrible fucking place that I can't really bring myself to care about it too much, anyway. But I should give him a call, anyway. Losing an election really sucks.

If it were me, id give him a call. It's not the end of the world, but tonight, I bet it feels like it for him.

I know, man. Losing an election is soul crushing, even when you're just a staffer who doesn't even like their candidate that much - I can only imagine how much it must suck for a candidate, let alone an incumbent.

Republicans have picked up IL-10

Republicans have picked up IL-10

That's rare, picking up a House seat in Illinois...

 

[Statistikhengst]

In Virginia, Mark Warner is pulling away.

In Iowa, it's down to Braley 49 / Ernst 47.

In NC, it's Tillis 49 / Hagan 47.

In Florida, it's Scott 48 / Crist 47 - the AP has already called Florida for Scott.
