2010 Primaries Thread (It's all over now, baby blue)

[Mr. Morden]

21% in:

Handel 30%
Deal 26%
Oxendine 19%
Johnson 18%

[Mr. Morden]

62% of the vote in:

Handel 32%
Deal 24%
Johnson 19%
Oxendine 18%

[Mr. Morden]

Incidentally, on the topic of the Gingrich and Palin endorsements, there's an excellent chance that CA and NY will both move their presidential primaries back to March or later, while GA won't.  Which would make GA the biggest primary on what's currently Super Tuesday.  Thus the 2012 presidential primary in Georgia might actually be important, and it might actually be relevant who gets endorsed by Gov. Handel or Gov. Deal or Gov. Whoever It's Going To Be.

[Mr. Morden]

Just a few thousand votes counted in MI so far:

Hoekstra 50%
Snyder 21%
Cox 20%
Bouchard 7%

That's only 0.4% of precincts reporting though.  

[Mr. Morden]

3% of the vote in:

Snyder 33%
Hoekstra 32%
Cox 26%

Bernero 60%
Dillon 40%

[Mr. Morden]

A few hundred votes are in from GA:

Handel 54%
Deal 46%

But that's with just 0.4% of precincts reporting. 

[Mr. Morden]

13% in:

Handel 51.5%
Deal 48.5%

NOTE: Looks like that's mostly from early voting.  The % of precincts reporting from "election day voting" is only 5%.

[Mr. Morden]

Deal takes the lead, 50.6%-49.4%, which is about a 700 vote margin at this point.  Deal's lead would be double that if not for Handel's lead in Cobb County.

[Mr. Morden]

First 10% or so reporting in CO:

Romanoff 51%
Bennet 49%

Norton 58%
Buck 42%

McInnis 51%
Maes 49%

[Mr. Morden]

Now we have over 20% reporting, and Buck leads Norton 50.1%-49.9%, and Bennet leads Romanoff 52-48%.

[Mr. Morden]

Very early returns in MN:

Dayton 43%
Kelliher 29%
Entenza 28%

Only 0.1% reporting though.  

[Mr. Morden]

Looks like Minnesota's SOS site will be faster than the AP as well. 18 precincts in, Kelliher up 43-31 over Dayton.

58 precincts in, and Kelliher still leads.  I have no idea which precincts those are though.  Is there an easy way to navigate that page for county results?  It looks a bit confusing.

[Mr. Morden]

From the AP results, looks like Kelliher's lead is all from Ramsey County.  Still only a few % reporting statewide though.

[Mr. Morden]

13% in:

Kelliher 48%
Dayton 35%
Entenza 17%

[Mr. Morden]

Huckabee finally managed to back a candidate who won his primary (Deal).

[Mr. Morden]

Haven't really been tracking Colorado for a while.  Are the vote counts there still increasing, or have the vote counters all called it a night?  Seems like the rate of increase of votes has slowed to a trickle.

[Mr. Morden]

MN Dem Gov Map (2770 precincts in):



Anderson Kelliher in Blue, Dayton in Green, M. Entenza in Red, P. Idusogie would be in yellow.  Gray= no data.

The AP has Kelliher winning Hennepin and Ramsey.  Is that a mistake?

[Mr. Morden]

Kelliher's lead is down to ~4000 votes, or 1% of the vote.

[Mr. Morden]

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.

[Mr. Morden]

Kelliher lead down to 1400 votes.

[Mr. Morden]

Yeah, Dayton leads by a bit over 300 votes (and growing).

[Mr. Morden]

WY gov. primaries:

Dem:
Gosar 54%
Petersen 34%

GOP:
Micheli 39%
Mead 29%
Meyer 19%
Simpson 11%

That's with only 5% reporting though.

[Mr. Morden]

Yeah, it just bumped up to 61 precincts in. Meyer by a handful of votes over Mead and Micheli.

Yep.  Meyer 30%, Mead 29%, Micheli 28%.  Essentially, a 3-way tie, but that's still with less than 15% of precincts reporting.

EDIT: And just as I was posting, Mead took the lead.

[Mr. Morden]

With only ~15,000 votes in:

Murray 45%
Rossi 35%
Didier 13%

[Mr. Morden]

They might as well call the WY-Dem race for Petersen.  71%, and he leads by 8 points.  Gosar has no chance.
