Thompson's lead dipped below 4,000.

[Confused Democrat]

This looks like it's going to be close, but I'm going to be a pessimist and say that Estes pulls this off.

Kiowa fully reporting: 80-17 Estes (83-11 Trump)

Thompson seems to running way, way ahead of Clinton and Davis in suburban Wichita (Sedgwick) and only slightly so in the rural precincts.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Thompson's % keeps dropping.   I think there's too many small counties left.   Estes probably wins this

they are not....those counties are over and counted early.

they are important now but not in an hour or so.

if thompson delivers in the big 3-4 counties and ofc most of all in Sedgwick, he wins.

i still don't think it happens but the bulk of tiny counties isn't the problem here.

[Adam Griffin]

53.4-44.9% as of right now

[VPH]

Honestly it's all about Wichita now. Thompson is not doing as well as he needs to be in rural areas.

[Chief Justice Keef]

It's quickly turning into a nail-biter, but the fact we're even describing it as one should be seen as an accomplishment for Thompson.

Before anybody makes any call one way or another, let's remember that Sedgwick is barely reporting anything outside of EV. We won't know what any of this truly means until we see at least a few dozen more precincts from there dump.

[Adam Griffin]

Edwards fully reporting: 78-21 Estes (79-16 Trump)

[Badger]

Am I missing something or is everyone missing the fact that Sedgewick appears to be largely out and Thompson is romping there? Even given the Democratic League of early voters, I'm not sure why there's so much pessimism among Democrats right now.

[NeederNodder]

This could've been less of a nail-biter if the DNC actually funded money for Thompson's campaign.

[Confused Democrat]

Enten says Thompson needs +9 in Sedgwick to win.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Edwards finished tallying. Estes wins there 78-21.

It looks like Butler still has 30 precincts left to count too,  it mostly comes down to those two counties.  

[ApatheticAustrian]

those tiny tiny tiny counties are atm over-represented right now by FAAAAAR and much more republican anyway.

Democrats are pessimistic creatures.

Because of the 2016 Presidential election results.

I guarantee you even if Thompson loses by a razor-thin margin they'll say "well, looks like populism failed here."

We're having some occasional flashbacks of election night.

Don't forget Harvey County. Thompson is crushing it there.
