Just got home, haven't been following much other than seeing a few alerts on my phone, but....

WTF is going on in Virginia??

NY-4, closer than expected, but with 100% in Rice 52.66-47.24

[Smash255]

With 67% in, Van Hollen has upped his lead to 54-46. Unlike his neighbor Delaney, it looks like he will pull this one out.

EDIT: It's already been called, but Emanuel Cleaver has been held to a 51-45 margin by Jacob Turk -- I recall KCDem made a satirical thread about Cleaver being endangered.

Van Hollen wins by a bit more and Delaney holds on.  EVERYTHING out in both districts in Montgomery.

Strange in New York: with 100% reporting, Kathleen Rice has a lead of 64-36 over Bruce Blakeman. I don't doubt she's won, but the lead was switching back and forth here and when last I checked, with reporting %s somewhere in the 90s, Rice had 53% of the vote. Mistake?

Yes,  she has 85,294 according to the Nassau County BOE  52.66-47.24  .1 write in

Did anyone else notice Jim Himes won by only 51-49?!

Another race that was on nobody's radar screen.

Much of Bridgeport appears to be out, though it is on the CT BOE site


53.7-46.3 according to the Harrtford Courant map

I'm pretty sure it's 24k. No idea where the 40k number came from.

24k early ballots/absentees not counted yet

13k absentees not returned yet (few day window can be given because of the remote locations)

13k Provisionals (estimated based off Provisionals in 2010)

So there is 24k that needs to be counted, potential for another 26k on top of that, but in reality maybe half get counted.  That is probably where the 40k was coming from.

Owsley County's uninsured rate dropped from 26% to 13% in the last year because of Obamacare.

An excellent point.

McConnell did run on getting rid of Obamacare would not hurt the exchanges.  Of course it was bs.
