How many registered voters are there in these precincts?

So if everyone turned out, Hanabusa would need a 22 point lead to flip the race. How likely is that?

AoSHQDD has called the race for Schatz. 

It's hard to see how Hanabusa makes up a 1,635-vote deficit in the two outstanding precincts.  For starters, some of the voters have already cast absentee or early ballots.  Schatz won the absentee and election-day vote in neighboring precincts.  And even if all 8,000 registered voters were to vote, Hanabusa would need to win it 60-40.  If a more realistic 4,000 votes are cast, she'd need to win it 70-30 - a margin she rarely reached in any precinct statewide.

Fantastic news! Smiley Long live our brave Senator Schatz!

Fascinating maps! Smiley And those two precincts look like they should support Schatz as well (or at worst go to Hanabusa by a very tiny margin).

I wouldn't call winning a U.S. Senate Primary by 1,769 votes dominating.

Dominating is not a number, it's a state of mind.
