State Legislature Special Election Mega Thread

[ajc0918]

As a reminder, in the last florida special two weeks ago, the Republican candidate won the first wave of the early vote by high single digits, and continued to lead in the overall tally until the election day votes started coming in. Don't panic until it's actually justified to do so.

The chances of a democratic pick up are minimal. I would be surprised if this race was even within 10 points.

Entirely early vote:

State Representative, District 44
Special Election
Compare All Counties
Compare by County
Candidate   Party   Votes Received   
Robert "Bobby O" Olszewski   REP   4,800   
59.8%
Eduardo "Eddy" Dominguez   DEM   3,227   
40.2%
8,027   Total

[Ebsy]

Dominguez will need to make up the difference with vote by mail and election day votes.

[Ebsy]

Now 6,920 to 5,506 in favor of the Republican.

Edit: I think that might be it?

[Ebsy]

Certainly the fastest we've ever gotten to 100% reporting.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

This appears to be it. Congrats to Republicans:

[Ebsy]

A predictable disappointment, but a disappointment nonetheless.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

That was fast, not great, but at least we did not totally vike it up.

Breakdown by vote type. Note that Dominguez won the election day vote.

Some early vote still out, election day is counted:

[Ebsy]

For a preview of what is coming up, on October 14 there will be two Louisiana State House of Representatives specials in the Democratic held 58th and Republican held 77. Both are safe seats.

Next Tuesday, October 17, there will be a special election in the Massachusetts State Senate Bristol and Norfolk District. This is a safe Democratic district.

Everything is in. Congratulations to McClure.:

Single digit win is not a good sign for Republicans in this district (based on what I read from others earlier), right?

Woops, I thought it was the other one.

Today is the election in Louisiana! Results can be found at https://voterportal.sos.la.gov/Graphical . Polls close at 9 PM ET.

Reminder: If no one receives 50% in a given race, the top two candidates will have a runoff on November 18th.

I like how Louisiana has elections on Saturdays.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I like how Louisiana has elections on Saturdays.

Me too, it's a good idea!

Will there be a results page with a map?
