No link for NH?

They should get posted here, though I can't find live reporting links yet.

NH House Dem surprise pickup [-] Edith Desmaris wins Carroll County seat in Wolfeboro, 811-755, over GOPer Matthew Plache. #nhpolitics

^Senior Reporter for Union Leader

House District Carroll 6 went for Republicans 57.05%-42.95% in 2016.

...............................................

Republicans apparently held NH HD Hillsborough 44, but it's not completely clear yet. There are still areas left to count, so Sununu may just be overeager.

Congratulations to Mark McLean on his special election victory! It was an honor campaigning with you - welcome back to Concord! #nhpolitics

House District Hillsborough 44 went for Republicans 57.58%-42.42% in 2016.

Statement from NH Democratic Party:



Also, it looks like Republican Mark McLean is leading by just 2 votes in NH HD Hillsborough 44, but the remaining area is apparently more Republican leading.

Unofficial final: GOPer Mark McLean beats Democrat James Morin, 657-536 (55-45%) in Hills Dist. 44 special election. #nhpolitics

Interesting that there was only a little improvement here, but enough to flip the race in the other district.

More results coming in from NY SD-30: 20/268 districts reporting.

Brian Benjamin (D): 136 , 90.67%
Dawn Simmons (R): 5 , 3.33%
Ruben D. Vargas (Reform): 8 , 5.33%

[The Other Castro]

First numbers coming out of NY AD-9: 17/109 districts reporting.

Christine Pellegrino (D): 60.28% , 1,047       
Thomas A. Gargiulo (R): 39.38% , 684

If this holds, that'd be amazing.

In 2016, this district went 68.69%-31.31% for the Republican.

[The Other Castro]

64/109 districts reporting (all of Suffolk is in, none of Nassau):
 
Christine Pellegrino (D): 59.26% , 3338 
Thomas A. Gargiulo (R): 40.51% , 2282

MAJOR UPSET ALERT

[The Other Castro]

Actually, that may be all the votes, not sure. BUT, Pellegrino has won! This is big.

^ The primary (though both are unopposed) for OK SD-44 is Tuesday, but the general isn't until 9/12.

Edit: Ignore me I'm bad at internetz

Nope the general is on Tuesday. Elections in Oklahoma are moved up if there is no primary. There was no primary.

Oh weird my mistake, I was looking at an old source that apparently hadn't updated to account for that. Could be an interesting one to watch.

[The Other Castro]

Oh wow, good night to be a Democrat in OK.

[The Other Castro]

We're winning suburban Oklahoma City and Tulsa districts now. Great news.

And it only took the sexual harassment of an assistant and a child prostitution charge. The OK GOP are just lovely people, aren't they?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhklahoma where the pervs come sweeping down the plain.

I think New Hampshire men may be joining their female counterparts in being angry.

I think everyone everywhere is angry these days.

[The Other Castro]

When will we have the results tonight?

Poll close in 10 minutes, so not too long after.

[The Other Castro]

Some results coming in from NH now. There are 7 precincts, here is one of them:

Candia:
Boutin (R) 426, Cavanaugh (D) 307, Dubrow (L) 14

[The Other Castro]

Yeah that leap was from this precinct that came in:

Machester Ward 1:
Cavanaugh (D) 1188, Boutin (R) 707, Dubrow (L) 132

[The Other Castro]

Yep, too early to make any calls. This slight Republican win in Bristol could potentially be cancelled out by a slight Democratic over-performance in another area of the district.
