This NJ site is good:

http://www.nj.com/elections/electioncoverage/

Those are the NY Times numbers.

Actually, they are the results. No one owns the numbers, idiot. Thanks for the link with percentages (something your NY Times doesn't have, jfern), AuH2O.

As long as Potts keeps that 2-3% buffer between Kaine and kilgore I think kaine will win.

The NY Times numbers are currently more up to date.

Gap closed with the latest update.

[wbecker]

the gap is closing slightly, but if kaine stays at least 3 points above kilgore until 80% of precincts are reporting, he is golden.

Hmmm, perhaps I spoke too soon regarding confidence in Kaine.  He's still 47,000 ahead, which is consistent with what it has been for an hour now.

[ATFFL]

Something strong for Kilgore came in.

[© tweed]

Kilgore is going to win.

[AuH2O]

Maybe Va Beach?

[2952-0-0]

Kilgore is going to win.

Do you have a link? Was there suddenly a surge from the western VA??

[J-Mann]

Kilgore is going to win.

What's the logic behind this?

[Ben.]

Kilgore is going to win.

Why?

[© tweed]

Kilgore is going to win.

Do you have a link? Was there suddenly a surge from the western VA??

It's a prediction and not a fact.  He's been making small gains over the past half hour or so.  He may run out of time here, but I think he'll win in the end by <1%.

[Alcon]

My source indicates Virginia Beach just reported, accounting for the GOP jump.

CNN: "Cognitive behavioural Cathy...blablabla..."

[MHS2002]

Maybe Va Beach?

I noticed before that Henrico had only reported 15%. I would think that would be a strong point for Kilgore when it comes in, right?

EDIT: For those who don't know, Henrico is Richmond suburbia.

This NJ site has weird results.

With  358 precincts, Forrester is leading 3743-3443 (51%-47%)
AND
With  399 precincts, Corzine is leading 92442-82160 (52%-46%)

WTF?

Henrico went for Warner in 2001

In early results, oftentimes in a rush someone will double precincts, put in the wrong number.  It happened just about an hour ago, and sometimes goes unnoticed for a while.

A good example is Grays Harbor County in the 2004 WA race - it was going for Rossi until someone noticed they have doubled the eastern part of the county.  They probably would not have noticed for even longer if that hadn't given the county 92% turnout!

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

NY Times has different NJ numbers, Corzine up 91895 (51%) to Forresters 82150 (46%) with 259 precincts.

[AuH2O]

I've looked at some counties and cities and cross-checked them with 2004 and 2001. I don't think Kilgore can win, regardless of a good performance in the SW.

[Flying Dog]

how is the detroit race goin

[Sarnstrom]

Why is the Washington Post showing different numbers with the same amount of votes in?
