The AG race is now at less than 1%, but it looks like Obenshain will sneak away with a victory.

Well, if polls that showed R behind by 4 or 6 before the election had R and D close to being tied if  Sarvis were not running, then one can assume that R would win given the results tonight.
Technically true, but if that is the lesson Republicans take away from this, they should be prepared to continue to lose voters to Democrats and third party candidates.  

Third parties will always be on the ballot, keeping members are their party from voting for third parties should be among the simplest of tasks for a campaign.  The fact that Cuccinelli let so many voters go to a random Libertarian shows that he as a candidate is fundamentally flawed.

Republicans are free to deny their candidate had any flaws and that it's all Sarvis' fault.  However, they should be prepared to keep losing elections.

You make a very good point.  In fact this result shows the resiliency of the GOP brand.  To have a very flawed candidate after the whole shutdown fiasco and a third party candidate that took a bunch of votes away and still just lose by 1.5% or so is not that bad of a result.  But yes, if the GOP wants to win in Virgina they better come up with good candidates.

I'm guessing the AG race will come down to a recount. Guess who'll be in charge of that? Roll Eyes

Does anyone know the recount laws for Virginia?

In other news, Mike Duggan is now projected to win the mayoral race in Detroit.  Going from a write-in candidate in the primary to mayor-elect is pretty amazing.  This makes him the first Caucasian to win that race in over 40 years.

Westchester County Executive

ASTORINO(R)    54%
BRAMSON(D)     46%

with 24% of the vote counted.  I suspect it will be like this the rest of the night.  Astorino wins reelection.

Don't most states generally only proceed to a recount if the margin is less than 0.5%? Usually if it's greater than that a candidate can request a recount but the campaign must pay for it, not the state.

Congrats Mayor Duggan!

Also I should congratulate Christie and De Blasio while I'm at it!

In the NJ Governor's Race, theirs actually many areas left to count that are mostly from suburban and rural (high Christie numbers) so I do indeed think he will get above 60% at the end of the night.

Virginia result ought to be mildly troubling for both parties, I think. The reasons are obvious enough for the Republicans (yet another winnable race has been pissed away due to the nomination of a fruitcake. This has become a structural problem rather than an occasional embarrassment), but the narrow margin given that and the general bad publicity for the Republicans of late should concern Democrats with regards to next year (even if a certain degree of that can be put down to McAwful being McAwful).

With 98% in, Obenshain is leading 50.6-49.4. I can say now that I think Obenshain will narrowly squeak it out. Certainly something I was not expecting.

Texans are approving the creation of a state water fund by an overwhelming margin - 74% to 26% with 60% of precincts reporting - despite modest Tea Party opposition.

Harris County's bond proposal to renovate the Astrodome is failing so far with 53% voting against it.

That's basically right.  In Va there's no automatic recount.  A candidate can request a recount if the margin is 1% or less, once the election is certified (why they have to wait until then to do it, idk).  If it's less than 0.5% the campaign pays for it.

With just 38 precincts left, Obenshain´s lead is back over 1% (22 thousand or so). He wins.

That fact that McAuliffe almost blew it against Cuccinelli, even with the government shutdown fresh in people's minds cannot be a good sign for Democrats.

DeBlasio cracks 70% already with 9% of precincts reporting, leading 72-25. No surprise there.

Well, McAuliffe is a really bad candidate as well.

Yes. Thus only slightly ominous, rather than 'oh sh[inks]t'.
