I have done some math on the results of this race. There are two counties with outstanding absentee ballots, Genesee and Niagara. Genesee is a smaller county but it is Republican favored and Niagra is generally a red county but was tied in 2018. I expect the overall vote to go the republicans in that county this time, especially with the Erie swing this time
From my math the current count if you exclude those two counties election day vote
Jacobs 61616 50.74%
McMurray 56526 46.58 %
I then did the math and included the election day results from the two missing counties.
Jacobs 76631 53.50%
McMurray 62949 43.95%
The final result will be between these two numbers. McMurray is being a sore loser on twitter. Democrats should pick a better candidate if you are running in a republican district like this.
Clinton lost this 59-35
Yes that is true. However, margins are up from 2018 even though all polling shows Republicans are significantly behind their 2018 numbers.
This is not the only special election to show this either. I may make a post about the topic of special election results after this is over. It clashes with the media narrative.
