Primary Night Results Thread (AL, CA, IA, MT, NJ, NM, SD)

[MarkWarner08]

Who woulda thunk it? Bill McCamley is down by fewer points than is the 2nd place candidate in the NM-02 GOP primary.

[Sam Spade]

Heinrich is lucky man.  Vigil-Giron and Lujan-Grisham really the split the vote right down the middle to give him a likely win.

NM-02 and NM-03 on the Dem side are going to be interesting too, depending on what's left.

I'm rooting for Wiviott and Teague.  McCamley seems really phony from what I've seen and Ben R. Lujan is only doing as well as he is because his dad Ben Lujan is immensely popular in the North.

No kidding about Heinrich.  What do you think about the NM-01 race?

[Хahar 🤔]

195 of 23,180 precincts in!

  Suzanne Jones 96 6.7 % 
  Tom McClintock 782 55.3 % 
  Doug Ose 518 36.6 % 
  Theodore Terbolizard 20 1.4 % 

Returns are all from Lassen County. Anybody care to analyze?

[Sam Spade]

If Viviott beats Lujan, it will be the one recorded example of a candidate buying an election against the party hack candidate.  Only in New Mexico.  I'm still counting on Rio Arriba to change their numbers, however.

[MarkWarner08]

I'm stunned that the carpetbagger liberal is leading the scion of one of NM's leading political families. Maybe all those millions actually paid off this time.

I'm a big Martin Heinrich supporter and I'm glad the vote split happened.  Vigil-Giron (a former incompetent SoS) and Darren White (overemotional Sheriff who seeks the local news cameras when a crime occurs like Jesse Jackson does when a black man gets beaten by the police) are pretty slimy individuals.   Heinrich is a hard worker with the Albuquerque City Council and fairly moderate on a lot of issues.

White seems like the next Dave Reichert (i.e., an attractive sheriff who wins over female suburbanites in a swing district).

How would the Hispanics react?  For entertainment purposes, it is unfortunate that the GOP appears to be nominating the white guy.

Hunter running away with it, but the Democratic side looks interesting.

Makes one wonder if this were 1998 or 2002 and the NRCC had the money to gamble in places like this.

You can thank Benny Shendo and Harry Montoya amassing 22% of likely all-Hispanic/Native American vote for that outcome.  I know my parents and grandparents all voted for Shendo.

Another NM scion in trouble:
Public Regulation Commission
Block, Jerome   Dem   4,128   24%
Throne, Bruce   Dem   4,012   23%

Jerome Block Jr. is the son of Jerome Block, who spent like 25 years holding various statewide jobs in NM before retiring in either 2004 or 2006.

[Sam Spade]

Harry Montoya bringing up the "Ben Lujan is gay" rumor has to go down as another classic moment in NM politics, if Lujan loses.

[Хahar 🤔]

  Suzanne Jones 156 6.1 % 
  Tom McClintock 1,418 55.3 % 
  Doug Ose 936 36.5 % 
  Theodore Terbolizard 55 2.1 % 

At this point, it really is McClintock's to lose.

Three-fourths of the votes are from Lassen, but we've also got some from Sacramento.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

At this point, it really is McClintock's to lose.

and Charlie Brown's to win.

[Meeker]

Can someone link me to New Mexico county results? Thanks

Here in California, Prop. 99 is passing. Even if Prop. 98 passes, Prop. 99 supercedes it. Prop. 99 is a sane eminent domain Prop. while Prop. 98 was insane.

[Sam Spade]

No comprende there Don.  McClintock really is the best candidate Republicans could run up there (out of the two).  Unless you're just doing a blanket I don't like Club for Growth people or something...

So, the enviro groups created their own eminent domain measure to confuse CA voters? What the heck is going on here?

[Dan the Roman]

Looking good for Wilson. Most of Bernadillo out, and Pierce's lead only 3000 votes. She should pick up up double that.

[Sam Spade]

Teague now only ahead 51-49, with 72%.  Viviott ahead 37-35, with 77%.  Pearce up by 3400 votes.  Lots of entertainment left.

Haven't looked at the county-level data yet, but I'll bet those are from San Francisco.

[Sam Spade]

lol...  The numbers just adjusted and LUjan's ahead 41-28...  Gotta see what happened there.

[Sam Spade]

lol...  Looks like they had the Santa Fe numbers reversed.

[Хahar 🤔]

Surprisingly enough, they're not. Barrows is getting <90% in San Mateo County.
