FIRST RESULTS SEDGWICK (EARLY)
Thompson leads with 14226 to 8563

That's 61-36-1 lololololololol

Obviously it wont stay this way but it's fun while it lasts.

I don't trust DDHQ as far as I can throw them after their incorrect calls in the D Michigan/Missouri Primaries. I'll stick to AP (by county), which does not show anything yet.

[Chief Justice Keef]

These are early ballots, by the way.

[Gass3268]

Wow, if this is the early vote it means that huge % of registered Republicans voted for Thompson.

It's not just DDHQ, numbers match the Sedgwick County site:

All of these ballots are out of Sedgwick.

Just because they got a call incorrect doesn't mean there numbers are. I keep a weary eye on their calls as well though.

Thompson needs to win Sedgwick by like 10 to win the race. He's up over 20 points in early vote. Still very early.

Those states were super close anyway. Only a couple thousand votes. As a matter of fact, Bernie led in Missouri all night until the very last precincts reported, giving Hillary a ~5,000 vote lead.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Okay, but it's probably just a lucky early precinct.

[Adam Griffin]

Any idea what percentage of Sedgwick is counted? It was 70% of all votes cast in 2016.

Thompson campaign tells me that its #s from Sedgwick County early vote are "higher than expected." #ks04

[Xing]

This could just be an anomaly, a very Democratic-friendly precinct, but if this is anywhere near the actual result in Sedgwick, it's huge.

[Chief Justice Keef]

lmao

[Gass3268]

Okay, but it's probably just a lucky early precinct.

This is the early vote, it is from the entirety of Sedgwick County.

[NeederNodder]

These results are only early ballots?

[Adam Griffin]

How many votes should we be expecting total in this race? This is likely early vote and not a precinct; there are 25,000 votes counted already. This could be a quarter or more of the turnout in already, so I don't think we should discard these prelims as a heavily Democratic precinct or whatever.

[Classic Conservative]

These results are only early ballots?

Yes

[136or142]

So far Thompson leading

Brownback sweating like a dog

Link?!

There isn't any results, he's lying.

Fake news?

It's a super close race though. Tied in fact. (0-0)

Posted this earlier, but you'll probably enjoy it

If it means anything, 275,000 votes were cast here in 2016...

[Tartarus Sauce]

Wasn't the early vote registration counted as something like 48%-40% Republican favored? That's a MASSIVE crossover vote.
