Iowa closes at 10:00 Est if this follows the same rules as usual for the state.

Obama lost this district by 5 against McCain, while winning the state overall by 9 points. Its a very Republican district.

And Obama's 2008 performance in Iowa is pretty much the high watermark for Dems.

Iowa voted for Dukakis 1988, and Clinton 1996 by double digits.

I still think that the Reform and Independence Party need to be shoved off the register with a scalp.

Good to see that the WFP contributed more votes than the WEP.

Why is no one posting live information on the MO race. Polls closed almost 2 hours ago.

I assume people of color in this case means anyone who is not a non-Hispanic White?

Does at least 2 in every legislative District mean that there will be contested primaries everywhere?

A narrow Arthur win is a disappointing Arthur win. Unless Arthur wins by double digits, I will be unsatisfied.

Question is if Corlew will do ever worse than Akin 2012.

Arthur needs like 20% of remaining votes to win.

Even if all the remaining votes went to Corlew, Arthur still wins.

Corlew is on track to underperform Akins 2012 performance.

By the way, in polls of this District, McCaskill was leading by more than Arthur was when both races were polled.

All votes are in; and Corlew has done even worse than Akin 2012.

Hawley is done.

Final result:

Lauren Arthur (D) 14,674 (59.61%)
Kevin Corlew (R) 9,917 (40.28%)

Keep in mind the one poll of this race had Arthur up 47-41, and it ended up being 59-40.
They also polled the Senate Race within the District, and had McCaskill up by even more than they had Arthur up.

Corlew is on track to underperform Akins 2012 performance.

No way. McCaskill won Clay County as a whole by 19 points, and SD-17 is slightly bluer than the county as a whole

...

I thought McCaskill got 57% of the vote in this SD, and Arthur has even more than that now.

Turns out, PNM was right.

McCaskill won the SD by 22 in 2012; 57 to 35.

I only remembered the McCaskill percent, and I forgot how well 3rd parties did in that election.

Wait, so this was a Jungle primary (like in Louisiana) and not a Jungle election (like in Hawaii)? Back during the recent Congressional Special Election, I asked if Texas special elections were done in a Jungle election format and someone replied "Yes" and that was the only response.

Gallego up by THREE with eight precincts reporting.

No, that's the early vote only. Look at the rightmost columns:


RACE   NAME      PARTY   EARLY VOTES   PERCENT   TOTAL VOTES   PERCENT
State Senator, District 19               
Peter P. (Pete) Flores   REP   9,893   49.99%   10,109   50.53%
Pete Gallego   DEM   9,896   50.00%   9,896   49.46%
-----------      -----------   
Race Total      19,789      20,005   
Precincts Reported      8   of   339 Precincts      2.36%

Wow. Republicans are going to flip a Clinton +11 SD in Texas. Blue wave?

Lmao @ using one special election to say "BLUE WAVE DEAD"

Also we're jumping to conclusions with literally two percent of the vote in. Star Analysis Limo, really.

A prominent GOP strategist has called the race for Flores. It's over, blue wave believers.

There was a prominent GOP strategist who called the Alabama Senate Special Election for Roy Moore last year too.
