Here's another interesting results page.

Can't wait for the results to come in!

What chances both candidates fail to get 50% of the vote in Virginia?

What would be the bad/expected/excellent % totasl for Christie?

Very little, I expect McAuliffe to get around 51% of the vote.

Christie:

Bad: 55-59
Expected: 60-63
Excellent: 64+

[ElectionsGuy]

Who else thinks the dem will get 60+ on Jackson?

I think its actually quite likely.

[ElectionsGuy]

With 9% in...

McAuliffe (D): 39.5%
Cuccinelli (R): 52.0%
Sarvis (L): 8.4%

Herring (D): 42.1%
Obershain (R): 57.9%

Northam (D): 48.5%
Jackson (R): 51.5%

Some rural republican parts are in. Seeing as these are rural republican parts, these are not good for republicans!

Chris Christie projected winner.

Chris Christie projected winner.

Have they even counted the votes yet? Or was this a joke?

Two words: Exit polls.

[ElectionsGuy]

Chris Christie projected winner.

How did you find out?

Excellent news anyways.

Watching MSNBC live.

[ElectionsGuy]

95-5 black voters. That is a shocking stat for the republican party to take in.

Let's see how Christie does. Cuccinelli was always going to go over like a lead ballon with blacks.

21% of blacks, 45% of Hispanics.

That's amazing! Can't wait to see the white margin

Do you know when the votes will start rolling in?

Soon.

[ElectionsGuy]

McAuliffe getting 70% in Arlington. Cuccinelli dominating Southwestern Virginia, and Cuccinelli narrowly leading Virginia Beach.

[ElectionsGuy]

Think Virginia might turn out closer than expected...

Don't get pessimistic, Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia has a LOT to come in yet.

[ElectionsGuy]

47% McAuliffe
45% Cuccinelli

CNN Exit Poll

NBC now classifying Virginia as "too close to call." Not good.

Wow, looks like the last minute boost for Cuccinelli could actually be true.

[ElectionsGuy]

AG race has tightened to 54.6% - 45.4% with only 33% in. Not good for the republicans.

[ElectionsGuy]

45% in...Cucinelli by 5%.  Of course, there are no live maps this year to show where the counted votes are coming from.

Only Virginia unfortunately. New Jersey will have maps later I suspect. (Or now if anybody can find it).

[ElectionsGuy]

Update:

65% In

Virginia Governor:

McAuliffe (D) - 44.5%
Cuccinelli (R) - 48.4%
Sarvis (L) - 7.1%

Lt. Governor:

Northam (D) - 52.4%
Jackson (R) - 47.6%

Attorney General:

Herring (D) - 46.5%
Obershain (R) - 53.5%

New Jersey Governor (5% in)

Christie (R) - 61.1%
Buono (D) - 37.4%

[ElectionsGuy]

Who wants to say Obershain makes it?

What is interesting is that Sarvis is running strong in places where Cuccinelli is running strong AND McAuliffe running about the same as Obama.  This means that  Sarvis took votes away from  Cuccinelli big time.

Yeah, there was never any doubt Sarvis voters leaned heavily right.

[ElectionsGuy]

The outlying vote is mostly urban. McAuliffe wins for sure, Obershain vs. Herring should be dead heat.

[ElectionsGuy]

McAuliffe is under performing Obama in Northern Virginia so far. Surprise?

[ElectionsGuy]

McAuliffe is under performing Obama in Northern Virginia so far. Surprise?

Nah, the more Democratic parts of NoVA aren't in yet. Look at the counties that are almost or fully counted (Arlington, Falls Church): T-Mac is actually doing better than Obama 2012 in them.

That's probably true.

[ElectionsGuy]

McAuliffe is under performing Obama in Northern Virginia so far. Surprise?

Obama won Fairfax Co. by 20, McAuliffe is leading Fairfax by 20. Obama won Loudoun by 4.5, McAuliffe is leading by 5.

Loudoun and Prince William have him less than Obama, but overall pretty close to Obama.

[ElectionsGuy]

de Blasio projected winner of the New York City mayoral race. No surprise here.

[ElectionsGuy]

McAuliffe is about even now, Fairfax County is still 1/3 out.  Why aren't they calling this yet?

Because the numbers are still too close. They are very cautious and don't want to make a 2000-esque error.

[ElectionsGuy]

Congrats, even though its not officially called, McAuliffe will be Virginia's next governor.

Amendment 66, the big tax hike in Colorado, is going down in flames.

And that with a more than ten-to-one spending gap, too. Not only does that make Michael Bloomberg 0-for-3 in Colorado elections this year, but it is also a major loss for Governor Hickenlooper and suggests that Colorado's conservative rebellion is strong.

Thank GOD.

[ElectionsGuy]

Bradley Byrne ahead by a single vote with 42% in.

Hopefully Byrne will pull it out. Young will make just another nutcase in the massively damaged reputation of the US House of Representatives.

The CO GOP is near dead.  I'll continue to believe that until they win another big statewide race...last time being '04 when Bush beat Kerry by 4.7% points.

Still, this is a sign that the moderate/conservatives are alive and well in the state and they are willing to reject the liberal policies that their state government offers them.
