NATIONAL SENATE/HOUSE RESULTS THREAD (LATE RESULTS/POSTMORTEM)

[Linus Van Pelt]

What's up with the senate special in Niagara County? Unlike Cuomo, Gillibrand only slightly underperformed Schumer in the rest of western New York. And even if it's a switch, it's still weird, though for the opposite reason.

Schumer 57 Townsend 41
DioGuardi 69 Gillibrand 30

So does anyone know when/if Fayette County, PA last voted for a Republican for U.S. Senate?

Possibly 1982; Heinz had huge victory, larger than Ted Kennedy's.  If not then, probably prior to WWII.

Specter carried Fayette in 1998.

Not sure if this was answered earlier in the thread or not, but does anyone know how Dioguardi wound up with those 50,000 extra votes in Niagara County?

There seems to be have just been some reporting error - NY Times is now reporting that he got 25,714, which is 43%, rather than 75,714 which was reported on election night. The Atlas here still has 75,714 though.

Hey, I found y'all another Republican Jew:

I think you're confusing the diplomat Dennis Ross (who is Jewish) with the new Florida congressman Dennis Ross (who isn't).
