State Legislature Special Election Megathread v3

[Mr.Phips]

The in-person vote just dropped from Jefferson county in KY SD-26.

Berg (D) gained 460, Ferko (R) gained 484.

Ferko now leads 4602-1584, or 75% to 25%.

The vast majority of votes still uncounted with mail-ins not to be opened until 6/30.

The in person vote in Jefferson was that small?  The Jefferson portion of the district is larger than Oldham.

The in person vote in Jefferson was that small?  The Jefferson portion of the district is larger than Oldham.

I believe the Oldham number contains both election day and in-person early voting. My guess is the Jefferson number is just the election day.

With these numbers there are at least 16,000 mail-in ballots from Jefferson in SD-26 and likely more.

Berg would need to get at least in the high 50s there to pull off a win.

BREAKING: Oldham County mail-ins have been counted



According to the Facebook post, the final results in the county were as following.

Berg (D) - 9738 (46.7%)
Ferko (R) - 11101 (53.2%)

Adding the election day votes from Jefferson County already counted, the margin becomes

Berg (D) - 10198 (46.8%)
Ferko (R) - 11585 (53.2%)

Trump won the Oldham County part of this district 62-31 while winning districtwide by 12 points. Berg narrowed the margin to just 53-47, outperforming the 2016 margin by 25 points. Clinton actually won the Jefferson County portion of the district 50-44. The only logical conclusion is that Berg is on-track to win once the thousands of Jefferson mail-ins come in, and possibly by a substantial margin.

BREAKING: BERG WINS WITH JEFFERSON MAIL-INS

Final results:

Berg (D) - 24771 (57%)
Ferko (R) - 18705 (43%)

That concludes your LimoLiberal election night week coverage.

Democrats have increased their Kentucky State Senate caucus to 10 of 38.

Wow, that’s a quite impressive win.

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

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – On Friday, Spencer Wetmore was declared the official winner of the SC House 115 Democratic Primary Runoff and the Democratic Special Election Primary runoff, following a recount due to the close race.

Wetmore beat Carol Tempel 1424 to 1416 in the Primary runoff, and 1438 to 1433 in the Special Election runoff to secure the Democratic nomination.

SC HD-115 numbers:

2016 prez: Trump 48-45
2018 HD: McCoy (R-inc) 51-49

Putting this suburban Charleston district at Lean D considering trends and the national environment. This district probably voted for Joe Cunningham by double digits.

That’s bigger than Beshear’s margin here, correct?

Also, this dramatic change in result is a preview of the chaos that’s going to ensue in November when Trump has a huge lead in all the battlegrounds due to only Election Day votes

It's not even close either. One of my best friends is from Folly Beach too, small world.

Pretty good sign for Cunningham, as this was a Trump +3 seat entirely within SC-01.
