MA Senate - Special Election Results thread

[ElectionAtlas]

I've posted the special election result here - with county map (unofficial with updates forthcoming).  I don't think Middlesex will hold for Brown as Cambridge and Somerville still have a lot of precincts to report.



Huge turnout for a single race on a snowy January day here.

Alright -looks like I'm not going to get any help tonight and going to bed, so if someone wants to input the preliminary figures.

I'm kind of old-school and calculate by hand everything.  Coakley's number is off by about 100 votes somewhere in my maths, but it won't matter to the map:

County tonight/Town tomorrow

County	Brown	Brown%	Coakley	Coakley%	Total Votes
Barnstable	59,990	57.41%	43,609	41.73%	104,500
Berkshire	13,294	30.50%	29,847	68.48%	43,584
Bristol	93,474	56.01%	71,493	42.84%	166,897
Dukes	2,641	34.10%	4,915	63.45%	7,746
Essex	143,897	56.53%	108,354	42.57%	254,556
Franklin	9,876	35.73%	17,318	62.65%	27,644
Hampden	71,641	54.52%	57,813	44.00%	131,404
Hampshire	21,107	37.30%	34,770	61.45%	56,585
Middlesex	259,768	47.43%	283,259	51.72%	547,654
Nantucket	2,032	48.05%	2,139	50.58%	4,229
Norfolk	152,784	55.56%	120,041	43.65%	274,979
Plymouth	119,979	62.77%	69,565	36.39%	191,143
Suffolk	57,350	32.78%	115,834	66.22%	174,931
Worcester	160,274	60.90%	99,803	37.92%	263,164

The Brown and Coakley tallies match my spreadsheet almost exactly.  Brown's column is perfect.  Coakley's column is off slightly in Suffolk (115,754) and Essex (108,336).

Our Duke County overall tallies vary slightly - I have it at 7,648.  Our Franklin (27,460) and Hampshire (56,589) county totals are each off by 4.   I have 275,087 for Norfolk County.

There may be a few rounding differences with the percentages (some disagree by .01), but once adjusted for the new totals, they should be in line.
