I'm feeling very confident about Karen Handel's chances. Fulton county just needs to keep coming in at the same rate.

Caligiuri has surged ahead in CT-05. He's now up 41-30-29 over Bernier and Greenberg, respectively.

If there really are a lot of votes outstanding, she can win.  Gwinnett and Forsyth are about 50-50, so I don't expect much change there.  Problem is we don't know how many of these precincts are white or minority.

CT-05 is a mess:



Caliguiri blue; Bernier green; Greenberg red.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Colorado has slowed down to a trickle. Bennet is still up 54-46, while Buck and Maes both lead by about 5,000 votes.

Reading some of the posts earlier in this thread...everyone seemed to be rooting for him because he deserved something, rather than any interest in who runs Connecticut's government.

I said this privately, but didn't post it here, if Malloy pulled this race into the margin of error in the polls, he was always going to win.  It just comes down the whole "who's gonna vote for you on election day" demographic...

SoS is coming in faster than WSBTV. Handel has gained about 5,000 votes in the last 3% of precincts. Fulton county is still only at 27%, and she's winning it 26,000-10,000 thus far.

The AP says Fulton is 75% in - with the same amount of votes.

AP is probably incorrect then.

That is correct. SoS needs to change that. They're saying that 276 of the 333 precincts have come in though.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

MAK still up 47-35 with 16%. However, the Twin Cities are almost all in, while so far Dayton has been winning almost everywhere else.

Updated CT-05 (92 of 148).



Bernier's only hope is the Hartford-area towns go heavily toward him.

SoS is saying Gwinett at 49,680 with 32% in. And there were roughly the same number of McCain votes in Fulton and Gwinett in 2008. So if the SoS Gwinett numbers are right, AP must be wrong on Fulton.

Stick a fork in Bernier in CT-05.  He's done.  There's little of Hartford County left and more New Haven, which Debicella is winning big.

McMahon has been declared the winner (no shock there).

Hey all. Nice to get off work and be here.

Looks like the DFL ground game has been fantastic. I received calls from Kelliher's people, so it's not too surprising, but she is way overperforming.

Also the mentioned ethically challenged State Senator in district 50 is going down in flames...

Another seat to watch is the GOP race in District 12. The incumbent is a gay who was outed in 2005. He got a primary challenger in 2006 who basically insisted that he wasn't running because the other guy was gay even though he couldn't give any other reasons and defeated him soundly. This year though he lost the endorsement after a revelation he once lived with a gay porn star. With 5/79 precincts reporting he's at 35% and going down hard.

[Tender Branson]

BTW, why does the AP have 2898 precincts and the SoS only 2860 ?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have come not to trust the number of precincts in numbers, after the mess with the last primary day election. There were errors galore for example in Kansas. One needs to add the precincts actually counted by county.

I know. I'm so happy she's not a Democrat.

Maes' lead is down to 2,400 votes.
