That vote should be invalid and would be even in states like Oregon

How can you argue that this should be counted?

The Dem is circled and Scott's name is crossed out. That being said, I can see this getting counted.

My Lord people just follow the instructions!

Then again we got away with that in virginia and saved us from a dem HOD.

Given the vote that allowed GOP to retain the VA CoD...

If that was counted, this should be too.

Hypocrites.

Except in Virginia apparently.

Hmmm, I have no idea why that vote "definitely should be counted" while this one "should be invalid".

Totally not just because one was a GOP vote and one was a Dem one

Careful, if you move against pens voters will be mandated to bring No. 2 pencils.

I think in Oregon that would count if the name was also crossed out Horizontally.


But the FL one would not be accepted as in that one it looks like the voter crossed out both the candidates and the new vote wasnt bubbled in.

[Alabama_Indy10]

Filling in a bubble isn't rocket science people.

I mean if both names are bubbled in the vote should be tossed, period.

that isnt a great margin, underpeforming her EDAY vote there by 20%

How long is it likely to be before the outstanding California races get called?

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

So is there a good chance for Nelson?

[Thatkat04]

So is there a good chance for Nelson?

Woudnt go that far.

[ajc0918]

So is there a good chance for Nelson?

Very, very slim unless there's something we don't know.

Scott's freak out seems very unusual IMO. I don't think there are enough votes left.

[Tender Branson]

How long is it likely to be before the outstanding California races get called?

CA has about 4.5 million outstanding ballots left to count until mid-December, when the results are certified.

[GeorgiaModerate]

So is there a good chance for Nelson?

No, it's a long shot (but not a no shot, at least not yet).

The Salt Lake Tribune has basically written Love's obituary and predicts that the race will be called later today: https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2018/11/08/rep-mia-love-could-still/

I almost feel bad that only black GOP congresswoman loses when most of her white male colleagues, most of whom are more ideologically reprehensible than her, get to have another term... but obviously I would much rather have McAdams in Congress, so this is a pleasantly surprising result. I knew it would be very close, but I would assigned it a Tilt R rating before a Tilt D one.

My only comment is when I was in Elko about a month ago on business, we picked up Utah TV and the number of anti Ben McAdams ads being run was staggering

Weren't these batches supposed to be pro-McSally?  If so, that's a pretty good sign for Sinema.

[Thatkat04]

Someone on here mentioned how there are a few portions of Apache that are very republican, wouldnt be that surprising if we got a chunk of that in this latest update.

[new_patomic]

Outside of it actually being a machine error in Broward with the undervotes, very unlikely, though not impossible.
