The 2014 primary season ends (Sept. 9: DE, MA, NH, NY, RI)

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Up to 8% now for Oregon democratic governor, Kitzhaber has won the nomination 85-15 over Diru.

18% for GOP Senate, Wehby leading 53-35.

18% in for GOP Governor, Richardson leading 63-11.

Nothing significant in from Idaho yet.

Georgia is at 82% now, and it's still 30-27-21. Handel's not going to make it.

[Spamage]

AP called GOP nod for Richardson. Not particularly surprising though.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Politico has now called Oregon GOP Governor for Richardson. He's leading 65-10 over Charllestrom with 36% in.

86% in for GA, it's 30-26-22 now. Handel trailing by 25,000

Oregon GOP Senate is at 36% now, Wehby leading 54-34.

[Miles]

AR-04 called for Westerman.

[Miles]

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Also, NYT has 86% in for GA. Kingston still leads Handel 26-22.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Oregon GOP Senate up to 50%. Wehby leading 55-33 but still too early to call.

Idaho Democratic Governor is at 6%. Baulkoff leading 71-29 over Kerr. 6% is in for the GOP as well, Otter leading Fulcher 53-43.

Idaho Democratic Senate is at 8%. Mitchell leading Byrk 73-27.

Idaho Republican Senate is at 22%. Risch leading Anderson 80-19.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

GA runoff called for Perdue and Kingston! Perdue leads Kingston 30-26 with 87% in. Handel is at 22.

Oh, and Handel lost Dekalb county.

McConnell's unpopularity in the Cincinnati suburbs is good news for Grimes IMO

Hmmm....Bevin won 2 counties. Both are in Eastern Kentucky, which is supposed to be the more moderate part of the state...interesting. Still a small number of precincts out in Kentucky though, so if there are any really close counties you may have to resubmit your map once it's 100% in instead of 99% in (which will probably happen in about 6-9 hours. The last few precincts in any state are REALLY slow).

For GA, Cobb County is in and Handel lost it. She lost Dekalb as well. She won Fulton and Gwinett, but it wasn't enough.

Statewide in GA is at 93%, still 30-26-22.

Oregon GOP Senate is at 53%. Wehby leading 55-33 but still no call.

[Miles]

^ An exact mirror image of 2010 when it comes to tea party vs. establishment:

59-35 Paul -> 60-36 McConnell.

[Mr. Illini]

Hmmm....Bevin won 2 counties. Both are in Eastern Kentucky, which is supposed to be the more moderate part of the state

Eastern Kentucky is VERY diverse. Southeastern Kentucky is coal country and very poor, two things which lend themselves to McConnell (he's seen as pro-coal and is also more of a big government Republican). Northeastern Kentucky is home to the Cincy suburbs, which are some of the most conservative ones in the country. They are much more likely to lean toward Bevin.

[Miles]

AP makes the call for Wehby.

Also, the AP has Hank Johnson scraping by with 55%.

Good thing we'll still have someone in Congress worrying about Guam capsizing.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Oregon GOP Senate has been called for Wehby! She leads Conger 54-33 with 52% in.

Idaho Democratic Senate has been called for Mitchell, who leads Byrk 72-28 with 12% in.

Idaho Republican Senate has been called for Risch, who leads Anderson 80-20 with 12% in.

Yep. Most of Trey Grayson's counties were in the southeast, too:

Wow, Kentucky has much faster late-reporting precincts than like...anywhere!

Politico has the last few precincts now, McConnell's final margin of victory is 60-35.

------------------

Still waiting for a call on Idaho Governor. 15% of the vote is in. Baulkoff leads Kerr 66-34 for the democratic nomination. Otter leads Fulcher 55-40 for the GOP nomination.

ID-02: AP checkmark for the Pelosi Republican.

This looks good, she has a lot of strength in the Cincinnati suburbs.

[Miles]

AR-04 with about 93% in. Westerman = blue, Moll = red. No precincts yet from Sevier or Newton counties.

[Tender Branson]

All roughly as expected.

SurveyUSA showed that it is in good shape this year when it comes to polling ...

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

The last of the races from last night:

Idaho Democratic Governor went for Baulkoff 65-35 over Kerr.

Idaho Republican Governor went for Otter 51-44 over Fulcher

AR-04 GOP went for Westerman 54-46 over Moll.  AR-02 GOP went for Hill 55-23 over Clemmer.

------------------------------------------------------

The TX runoffs are next, on May 27. There are runoffs for at least 1 party in all of the following offices:

Agriculture Commissioner
Attorney General
Lieutenant Governor
Railroad Commissioner
State Board of Education (Districts 11 & 13)
State House (Districts 10,16,53,58,66,76,102,105,108,129, & 132)
State Senate (Districts 2 & 10)
U.S. House (Districts 4,23, & 36)
U.S. Senate

[Kevinstat]

Westerman is breaking away in AR-04. He leads by 17 with 15% in.

They need to call AR-02 for Hill already...

What was Hill's percentage of the vote at the time?  He ended up winning 55-33-32, but Arkansas has a runoff if no candidate gets a majority of the vote, which may help explain why it wasn't called until late in the count (he was obviously going to finish first from early in the count with how much he won by, but it might have taken longer to be clear that he was going to avoid a runoff, and then there would have been the question of who the other runoff candidate would be.  Not that a 10 point win is a close race (55% for Hill to 45% for "anti-Hill") but it's not a complete rout like a 55-23 win in a non-runoff state would be.

[Torie]

KY:  McConnell wins 63/35 over Bevin.

GA:  Perdue and Kingston head to the runoff.  

Yes, with runner up Kingston apparently favored per a poll, to move into first place in the runoff. So, with that little switch in the ultimate order of things, it seems that this time the vote percentage rank of the candidates was in the precise order of who was most electable, rather than unelectable, the latter of which my party had managed not so long ago at all to perfect into a veritable art form. Well done Pubs!
