*Official Election 2005 Results Thread*

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

How many times can we post the exact same results?

[The Vorlon]

Jersey NJN has it 51-47 Forrester- No precint and number of votes- very, very early going.

Corzine is truly a slime, but I still find it hard to believe he could lose in Jersey...

Do you have a good link to Jersey results...?

[Alcon]

J-Mann:  Fairfax County voted Kerry, and is even more Dem on local level.  Wealthy libertarian Washington suburbs.  It'll go Kaine unless this is a landslide.

And we can stop posting the 5:17 results, folks.

Well, the guy he's running against is definitely even more of a slime.

[J-Mann]

I'm looking for those as well.  Anyone surprised by the low projected voter turnout in Virginia?  SoS's site has it sitting at 20% -- granted, that could change, but seems awful low for a gubernatorial election.

Go ahead and keep telling yourself that.

It's true. BTW the slimer guy is up 51-47 with 358 precincts.

Thanks jfern and Boss Tweed. 

I'm in Fairfax county...haven't heard any results for here yet, and I don't know the political landscape well enough to predict which way it'll go. Kilgore would be my best guess, though.

Fairfax Co. will vote for Kaine as will Arlington County.

That's not a projected turnout...that the actual number of votes they have counted so far...which would project to about a 43% turnout when all votes are counted.

20% is not the turnout estimate, but proportion of the registerred voters already counted. So, it is looking like something around 40-45% - I'd say it's high for an off-year (nationally) election.

Kaine remains up by a similar margin as before with 56% reporting...

[Alcon]

WA is hitting 60% and the biggest race we have is King County Executive.  It will be higher.  Absentees haven't even started to be counted, I imagine.

51.2-46.6 Kaine with 55.6%.  Seems an update every 10 minutes.

ag, that can't be high.  If WA is supposed to hit 60%, I imagine VA would hit at least 65-70%...?

Forrester is up 51-47 with 6% reporting.

I guess you are right, it's not high as a proportion of registered voters. What are VA registration rules (i.e., how big is the gap between the number of registered voters and the voting age population)?

Go ahead and keep telling yourself that.

In NJ I’d take a mediocre republican who seems to have the right idea against a machine politician, without any idea where to start cleaning up the state.

Along with Forrester, I hope (don’t expect, but still I hope) Arnie does well on his propositions all of which are fairly moderate and would do a lot to help the state end its decade long run as some basket case (!)    
 
Meanwhile the one race I really care about is here in VA, just hope Kaine pulls it off.

The fact that Fairfax County is almost done is good for Kilgore.
The fact that Fairfax City hasn't started counting is good for Kaine.

Cutting education in a state that already spends less than the national average, despite their very high cost of living, is not moderate.
