Primary Night Results Thread (AL, CA, IA, MT, NJ, NM, SD)

[Conan]

The numbers in on the GOP side are absolutely pathetic and abysmal.

I'm gonna call for Lautenberg, Kelly, and Lance.

There are 0 precincts in for Burlco.  How the hell can you call a race for Kelly when Meyers is going to slaughter him in Burlco?

Update: The numbers for Meyers look darn good in Ocean—he's only back by about 25.  I think Meyers has the edge based on the Ocean numbers.

Didn't even have the county breakdowns up. I retract that call.

Pennacchio recovers with over 70% in Passaic County.

That'll probably be the theme of the night.  70%+ wins for each GOP candidate with the line.

Which means we might have a long wait if Bergen is the last county in. Pennacchio trails significantly right now but had the line here, and Bergen will probably have the most votes in both primaries (Essex might have more in the Democratic primary).

I would expect Burlington County to have rather strong GOP turnout based on an interparty fight there—there's real reason for Burlco GOPers to show up other than this miserable Senate race.

Zimmer has the organization line in Burlco, which should easily offset Pennachio gains in Bergen.

Early, but amusing...

The NJ-07 GOP primary is looking chaotic. Hatfield dominated in Union but won't win votes anywhere else (Marks is in second in Union, Whitman third and Lance all the way back in fourth!) Nothing from Middlesex yet, which will be Whitman's base. Somerset slightly favors Lance over Whitman while Hunterdon is strong for Lance. Whitman could still pull it off, but Lance has probably won, almost certainly with an amusingly low percent (~35%).

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

The early numbers look REAL good for Lance.  He's got 63% in Hunterdon County.  Whitman is currently in 3rd because Kelly Hatfield had the line in Union.

Whitman is doing okay in Somerset—a distant second, but not too distant—so I'd guess she'll probably save some face with a 2nd place finish overall.  Just barely, though.  Lance by a mile.

Who is Justin Murphy and why is he leading Chris Myers, the pick of the retiring GOP congressman?

[Meeker]

Joel Dykstra wins the right to lose to Tim Johnson

[Keystone Phil]

Eh, at least Lance and Zimmer will win.

Who is Justin Murphy and why is he leading Chris Myers, the pick of the retiring GOP congressman?

Because there has yet to be a single Burlington County precinct to report.  Myers will bounce back in a huge way once it starts reporting, presumably to victory.

(Murphy is the token conservative, endorsed by Bret "Who Even Cares Anymore" Schundler.)

Thanks.

So apparently NM-03 Republicans really like Steve Pearce.

[Sam Spade]

Nearly all of Roswell in, Pearce 80-20.  Not surprising.  Amusingly, Paul only got 11% here.  What's up with dat?

Ah, okay, this makes more sense:  Murphy is on the same slate as Murray Sabrin, who is somehow getting to 30% in Ocean.  They have the exactly identical percentage (surprise, surprise).

[Sam Spade]

So apparently NM-03 Republicans really like Steve Pearce.

We have seven precincts in from rural northern NM (and that area is actually much more like the South).  The rest is from NM-02.

Doy. Got the numbers reversed.

Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright wins the Democratic nomination in AL-02 and State Senator Parker Griffith wins the Democratic nod in AL-05. Both Republican contests are still up for grabs

Probably be a runoff in AL-02, but that was expected.  AL-05 - I don't know what's in, as well as not knowing where candidate strong points are, so just guess.

[Sam Spade]

Early voting in from Bernalillo - bumps Wilson to 60-40 lead.

[Verily]

Mr. Moderate, do you know who had the line in the GOP Senate primary in Camden County?

[Sam Spade]

Just an early observation, and it is too early to say that much from this, but turnout down South doesn't look that great., especially in comparison to early voting in Bernanillo.  The key is Dona Ana, however, which is not reporting..

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

Mr. Moderate, do you know who had the line in the GOP Senate primary in Camden County?

Dick Zimmer.  Don't expect many votes there on the GOP side, though.

Okay, it's definitely over, then. Now to find results for the local primaries...

[Sam Spade]

And Pearce takes the lead 54-46, with 14%.  Still no Dona Ana.  And no Bernanillo, except for early results.

[Meeker]

Take a look at IA-03 on the Democratic side. Boswell is up 56-44 with 46% in

[King]

It's still early, but I'm surprised Aubrey Dunn is slightly leading 28% to Tinsley 28% and Newman 23%.  Dona Ana is what decides this race, though.
