SPD hold Herford - Minden-Lübbecke II

Beat me to it. By 0.8. OWL's former stomping grounds.

As close as I expected. At least the SPD guy is from my home town .

CSU gains München-Nord!

Clean sweep in Bavaria for the CSU, I think.

Edit: Tender beat me...

Unless a miracle happens in Ansbach or Munich West. Or a once-in-the-lifetime-of-the-universe magnitude miracle happens in Rosenheim.

Worth pointing out that Munich North vote splitting continues, btw, it just wasn't enough:

CSU     57.196     36,5     -4,4     48.621     31,0     -5,2
SPD    55.645    35,5    -8,2    31.063    19,8    -10,1
FDP    15.757    10,1    5,2    28.193    18,0    5,9
GRÜNE    15.292    9,8    4,2    27.402    17,5    2,6
DIE LINKE    7.784    5,0    2,3    10.707    6,8    2,8

Left is direct, right is list.

Well, Munich West and Rosenheim are not happening...

The CSU is losing statewide though (first and second votes), except for direct votes in Kulmbach (+8% to 68%). Guess who's the local candidate .

I had a look over changes in registered voters numbers... pretty fascinating.

Federally +0.4
...
Bavaria +1.5
...
Declines in Hof, Weiden, Bayreuth, Kulmbach, Bad Kissingen (but not Coburg) with Hof at -3.1% and the others below -2%.
...

I tried to find an explanation for the odd Coburg numbers (turnout below 70%, number of registered voters growing while population is declining).
The answer is very simple: Compared to the preliminary result the number of registered voters went down by 4,815 in the final result (No idea, how they made up the preliminary numbers). Hence we have Coburg at -1.0% with turnout about 71%.
