Haha, the media here doesn't know whether Gray is black or white.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Fitch has been renominated for GOP Treasurer.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Gray back at 50%.

[7,052,770]

Gray back at 50%.

That's just rounding. He's still below: https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=2015&off=5&elect=1&fips=28&f=0

Can the GOP take the Northern Public Service Commission District in November? Or it the Democratic incumbent popular and electable to Northeastern Mississippi?

[136or142]

77% reporting Gray is now slightly over 50%

[7,052,770]

We have a Sojourner - Dearing rematch in S37.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Gray at 50.23%. 1495/1811 reporting.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Interesting results, didn't expect Gray to do that well. Wasn't Slater favored?

Yes, but that means nothing when half the primary voters are mindless freaks who just select the first name listed on the ballot.

Yeah but the Mississippi dems were never going to win this race anyways

I'm at a complete loss for words over this. The guy literally raised $0 and never campaigned. He didn't speak at Neshoba.

Both of his opponents had signs all over the Jackson metro area at least.

Who the Hell are all these people, in all 82 counties who voted for a nobody they'd never heard of?

That's not nearly enough to explain it. Jelani Barr came before Tim Johnson on the ballot and was a similar no-campaigner. Maybe "Tim Johnson" and "Robert Gray" are generic-man-sounding names, but this is downright bizarre. Completely nonsensical.

My guess is that this is like what happened in Tennessee with voters not knowing about any of the candidates decide to vote for the one on the top of the ballot

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Gray at 50.34%. 1560/1811 reporting.

[ElectionsGuy]

It looks like he's actually going to get above 50%. HA!

Sure.  Do I have to change my prediction to R>60% if Gray wins? I'm still undecided on that.

Its going to be R>60% even if Gray doesn't win.

Depends on whether AA turnout will be just low or if it will be nonexistent

Bryant broke 60% against a Black Mayor in 2011. He can definitely do it against Gray. He could even break 65%.

Yeah, Wonder if this could further decimate dems downballot

Well, the only statewide officeholder left is Hood, and he's probably unbeatable.

[gespb19]

Still a good number of votes in Hinds County/Jackson where Slater is winning. Could go to a runoff.

[gespb19]

Only 4 precincts left in Hinds.
