So far Thompson leading

Brownback sweating like a dog

Where do you see results already?

[Nyvin]

Is it possible for Sedgwick to carry the district for Thompson all by itself?

What share of Sedgewick is in?

Enten said Thompson needs to win Sedgewick by around 9 to have a chance at pulling this off.

What's it at now?

Thompson's % keeps dropping.   I think there's too many small counties left.   Estes probably wins this

[Nyvin]

Before anybody makes any call one way or another, let's remember that Sedgwick is barely reporting anything outside of EV. We won't know what any of this truly means until we see at least a few dozen more precincts from there dump.

It looks like Butler still has 30 precincts left to count too,  it mostly comes down to those two counties.  

[Nyvin]

Sedgwick just had a dump.   Thompson's numbers dropped 2%.  

[Nyvin]

Cowley just finished.

[Nyvin]

Thompson needs a massive boost out of Sedgwick otherwise the smaller rural counties will erase whatever is left of his lead easily.

[Nyvin]

What counts as a moral win here if you're a Democrat? Estes +7? Estes +4?

IMO it already is a moral victory.

[Nyvin]

Stafford is done.

[Nyvin]

Butler is done

Bleh,  another Sedgwick dump....Thompson went down again.

This is over.

[Nyvin]

More likely that Estes wins by 9+ than he wins by

^^^

I don't think it's possible for Estes to win by 9%....there isn't enough left outside of Sedgwick and Sedgwick looks to be about even at best for Estes.

It's up to 5 right now

Well,  if that happens then the hype was kinda overblown, but the GOP still under-performed.

[Nyvin]

Have the results just really slowed down in the last 10 minutes or so?

[Nyvin]

Thompson just went up 0.3%

[Nyvin]

What an embarrassing result for Republicans.

Spin, spin, spin.... LOL!

If the GOP actually lost this race...they're the ones that would need a LOT of spin spin spin.

[Nyvin]

Democrats poured MILLIONS into this seat. MILLIONS.

Republicans didn't.

Estes sleepwalked through the campaign.

"Estes was a particularly weak candidate. As a member of Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration, he scored a 2 of 10 score on candidate strength."

Uhh...no they didn't.   National Democrats didn't invest in this election at all.

KS Dems did a small amount but not "millions"

The RCCC did invest millions in this race.

[Nyvin]

It kind of looks like Brooks is taking Strange's Huntsville vote in just the perfect way that could deny him a runoff possibly.
