I encourage anybody who is interested in past (or future) special elections to visit my stickied thread on the congressional board.

There, you'll find the margins for each district from the 2016 legislative race (or in a few cases, 2014/2015) and the 2016 presidential, along with the special election margin and swing. All data is available in the first two posts of the thread.



Related: it looks like we have quite a few potentially competitive special elections coming up over the next month:

Competitive Specials in the Next 30 Days:
Congr   AZ   8   -   4/24/18
House   NY   10   -   4/24/18
House   NY   107   -   4/24/18
House   NY   142   -   4/24/18

House   FL   114   -   5/1/18
House   PA   48   -   5/15/18
House   PA   178   -   5/15/18

Color denotes which party held seat prior to vacancy

Mayer up by 2024 votes now; if this doesn't start reversing very soon, I'm calling it:

Over one-third of precincts reporting and Mayer's lead continues to grow: now at 2262 votes. If this 13-16 point margin is still holding once 40% are reporting, it's a done deal.

Clinton won by 22, so she's not hitting presidential numbers...the Democratic incumbent won it by 11 in 2016. An average of those two (which is how I'm calculating swing in my special elections thread) would be around 17 points, which Mayer is at roughly at the moment.

Uh-oh. Stern (D) losing narrowly in early results from Suffolk County AD-10 where a flip was expected. It's an obama-clinton seat.

http://apps.suffolkcountyny.gov/boe/eleres/18s1/flashresults.html

Only about 350 votes thus far. We don't have a clear indicator of what's happening yet.

Yep. Republican leading 55-45 in Erie County AD-142 with 50% reporting. R Flip incoming here.

Y'all didn't believe me when I made my writeup.

Margin is closing:

64% reporting in AD-10 and Stern still holds a 10-point lead:

Burke's margin of loss narrowing a bit in 142 but he'd need basically two-thirds of the outstanding vote to win:

It's long since over, but 65% of precincts reporting in SD37 and Mayer is maintaining a 57-43 margin closing in on 5000 votes.

Looks like all of 107's totals are coming out of Rensselaer County. Washington doesn't have anything up yet and I can't even find where Columbia's is.

AD102 where the Democrat is currently up 10 points is R+12...

Pretty impressive: Trump won by 23. Let's see if it holds.

That would make the current result a 400-vote lead for Tague.

Why is that third guy getting almost 30% of the vote?
