NATIONAL GOVERNOR/OTHER RESULTS THREAD (LATE RESULTS/POSTMORTEM)

[Eraserhead]

Also lol @ Jerry Brown beating Meg Whitman by 13 points. Gavin Newsom won big too.

What's going on in Vermont? None of the media outlets have called it yet and the numbers haven't moved in days. Looks like Shumlin's pretty clearly won IMO.

Dubie has conceded.

They have called it already for Shumlin...

Technically, waiting for the legislature to confirm Shumlin as Governor, but it's pretty stupid not to call it.

http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/article/20101104/NEWS03/101103053/-1/TOPICS0206/Legislature-may-have-to-rubberstamp-two-races


Republican Phil Scott was elected LG with 49% versus 43% for his Democratic opponent. Just like Dubie (R) in the Governors race, the Democrat said he doesn't wish to contest election in the state legislature. Vermont requires the state legislature to determine the winner if no one gets 50% for state races. Vermont politicians both losers and the legislature have a long history of letting the person with the most votes win. 

thanks!

Did the Conservative Party line in the New York governorship race get the 50,000 votes it needs to stay on the ballot?

I can't find numbers for Paladino and Cuomo's vote breakdown amongst their minor parties. If someone knows where that could be found please post it.

The only party that broke 50,000 on its own - somewhat surprisingly - was the Green Party. They say they don't have plans to participate in fusion, however.

[Meeker]

Found 'em, sort of. This doesn't include four or five counties but it's irrelevant because they're all well over 50,000

Con – 198,496
IP – 149,679
WFP – 129,577

Paladino's Taxpayers line or whatever it was called didn't break 30,000.

They got well more than enough votes, and will move up to Row C.  The Working Families Party will move up to Row D.  The Independence Party had a bad year and will move all the way down to Row E.  The Green Party will be on Row F.  The Libertarians and Rent is 2 Damn High parties will fall short of the necessary 50,000 votes to get automatic ballot access for the next 4 years.

LOL, I've just calculated that without Cook County, Brady would have defeated Quinn 56-36... A single county making a 20-points difference...

[rob in cal]

There were a few precincts where the Dems got around 300 votes and GOP less than ten (my favorites were the ones with zero for GOP), in Chicago.  A few precincts like that wipe out sizable victories in small counties in a hurry.

[Iosif]

So what's going on in Minnesota? Has a recount started? Will they get a new governor by January?

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Official results from Vermont:

http://vermont-elections.org/elections1/2010GeneralCanvass.pdf

Shumlin won 49.5%.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

The recount will start around Thanksgiving.

[Meeker]

Anyone know the last time a state went through a statewide recount two cycles in a row? And how about when both recounts were for a high-profile office (Governor, Senator, President)?

Harris takes a slim 3609 vote lead.

Harris 4,131,847
Cooley 4,128,238

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/11/harris-cooley-attorney-general-race.html\

Still 150k votes to count in LA, apparently.

[rbt48]

It doesn't matter now, but I wonder how Kirk Dillard would have fared against Quinn in lieu of Brady?  Just 194 more votes in the primary and we might have had a chance to have seen.

[rbt48]

It is probably of no consequence in the big scheme of things, But the Lt Gov lineup is much more favorable to the Republicans than the Governorships turned out to be.  Of course, for Governors, the apparent lineup will be 29-R, 20-D, and 1-I.  But for Lieutenant Governors (or the first in line of succession), Republicans appear to have the slot in Vermont, New Hampshire (Senate President), Missouri, Arkansas, and Montana. 

This would make the Lt Gov lineup 34-R, 16-D (Rhode Island will have a Democratic Lt Gov).

[Filuwaúrdjan]

It's interesting to compare Obama's pattern of support with Quinn's:

And it is mostly provisionals in LA County in that number of what is still out. It does not look to good for Cooley, but one needs to do a more extensive analysis of what is out, to get a better handle on it, before announcing his denouement.

Do you have a horse in the ag race Toriester?

No, not really. It is a bit sad that the GOP in California, has no real bench, but I am used to it.

Excellent.
