The strange thing is that Tillis already had a 2-point lead when Mecklenburg County was only reporting at 25% or so, and from what they were showing on TV the rest of the GOP base seemed to be already counted. I was expecting his lead to narrow, but it stayed still. Does someone have the details of the counting process to clear that up?
About 40% of the vote in Mecklenberg was early voting. That could have already been counted in the 25% of precincts reporting, so while it may have been 25% reporting, it may have been closer to 60% of the votes already counted. I didn't look at the raw vote #'s at the time to really tell though.
