Congressional Special Elections Results Thread (OLD, PLEASE UNSTICKY)

I'm curious to see how Bennett does. He's a character alright, and he has the family name.

That's the only really interesting thing about this race that I can think of.

Currently at 9.2%. Not bad for a new third party that was sidelined during the campaign.

  In terms of some kind of emerging Democratic wave, shouldn't Allen's numbers be higher than 26%, or were some of the third party candidates running to the left of center?

Allen doing respectably in Carbon County, which used to be Democratic and she did amazing in Grand County!

Bennett was like a Bloomberg flavored establishment center left guy trying to build off McMullin, but clearly left of his 2016 campaign.

This is rural Utah we're talking about, and Curtis, at least from what I understand, is wildly beloved in Provo and in the metropolitan areas of UT-03.

Why have the vote totals not been updated for the past 6 hours?

Well, it's Utah, so you know it isn't a weed break...

To be honest though, Utah has a bad habit of being slow to update numbers. Has been since at least the first election I followed, in 2012.

Republican are consistent now - they choose the most ultra-rightist candidates almost invariably. Even in this conservative district they had more normal alternatives, but - ....

Basic information on Tuesday's contest has been added to the OP. Here is how I recommend users split their activity between the two threads.

This Thread: Final Predictions, Discussion of/links to Results, Shorter #Analysis, Discussion of/links to Network Coverage

Main AL-SEN Thread: Paragraphs/Essay-Style #Analysis, Discussion of whether the Senate should expel Moore, Discussion of whether AL should secede from the union, and Discussion of whether IceSpear should leave the forum.

Mobile county is one of the ones I want to see to see where the race is going. It was 55% for Trump with 172K votes, while the state was 62% Trump with 1318K votes. If it starts to go for Jones, then Moore is in danger. Madison and Tuscaloosa are two others to watch that Jones needs to flip.
