Actually comparing the SoS site it looks like he just picked colors at random. The two he has going for Entenza voted over 50% for Dayton.

I didn't pick colors at random.  I'm taking the data directly from the AP tally.  The first listed candidate gets blue, second green, third red, fourth yellow.  In theory.

Well then, there has to be a bug, because that map does not match what I'm seeing in the AP table of results.

Or me either. And it's quite off from the Minnesota SoS site that I'm reading.

Yes, it was a bad formula mismatching the counties.  This should be fixed:

Man Nobles County is weird. Always is.

Entenza has over 50% there, what? He's not from anywhere near there, he's from St. Paul.

Who knows?  It's a small county in the Sioux Falls TV market.

These have been some thrilling races culminating tonight in all four states.

I remember seeing an ad of his saying that he grew up there, and his page confirms that.

Dayon is going to overtake her very shortly now. He's surging at this point. With 83% in he's behind by 2200 votes.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Hmmm I always knew he was born in California.

Oddly he's getting owned in the counties just to the west of it. Demographically based on the rest of the map it's very odd how strong they are for MAK...I wonder if it's because they're hyper-conservative and the few Democrats are establishment hacks.

[Torie]

It looks to me like Maes is going to win. McInnis had only one thing going for him, Mesa County. In fact, looking at the counties, the vote totals look wrong. Maes should have a bigger margin, per my eye balling. Whatever.

BRTD had it right 45 minutes ago. It was only a matter of time, assuming later Duluth matched earlier Duluth.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Well that Young Republican teabagger douche I mentioned is down big with 50% in, though he got almost a third, which is kind of impressive. Though Mora isn't in yet, the town his opponent was mayor of.

[Mr. Morden]

Kelliher lead down to 1400 votes.

The Colorado Republican Treasurer's race is very close, here's the map with 4270/5458    precincts in:

Yeah, Dayton is winning almost all the counties that are still out.  (100% counted=red outline; 80+% counted=yellow outline).  Dayton is in green, MAK in blue, the other guy in red.

This was with 3515/4136 reporting in the AP count.

It's an east-west thing.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

That's an interesting map, demographic-wise...

Yeah Dayton has won. Not a single precinct in from his running mate's State Senate district.

[Vepres]

Colorado Republican Governor 4329/5458 precincts in:



Blue is McInnis
Green is Maes

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

That Young Republican teabagger prick in 8B has impressively closed the gap and up to 44%, but Mora is still out. He ain't winning, but it's amusing he ran so well.

[Eraserhead]

I got back from work and just read through the thread.

Bummer about Lamont. That should be the end of his (non) career in politics. Malloy is fine though and he'll be the next Governor of Connecticut.

I'm kind of pleased with the Bennet victory. MSM will probably take it as a slap in the face of Bill Clinton, which while it probably isn't, it's still amusing on some level.

As for GA, well, the bigger of the two dirtbags has won...

[Vepres]

Funny that the Colorado races won't fit into the media's narrative. On one hand you have the establishment Bennet winning, but anti-establishment Buck winning.

Dayton finally pulled ahead of MAK in the AP MN-D-Gov count.

[Eraserhead]

MSM memes = epic fail.

This shouldn't be much of a surprise though... and even I actually called the correct winners in those two races!
