2011 Election Results Thread

I believe the GOP took control of the Mississippi House with 62 seats in the bag, with one (District 3) up in the air, but last time when the Dem won 3-2, Alcorn County, which is not counted yet per AP, was carried by the Dem by about 250 votes, and with Arnold, the Pubbie, leading in Prentiss, which he lost last time by close to 3-2, he almost certainly will hold on and win, giving the GOP 63 seats per my count. In the other two seats out per the AP, I went to other sources for the results.  The local press states that the Dems won District 2 in Corninth (which has no votes shown on the AP).  The other seat the AP has out is District 83, where the Pubbie Snowden was leading, but his website has him claiming victory with 52%.

Torie you seem to have looked up the previous numbers from Alcorn county. Are we to expect anything remotely close in District 2(nothing reporting yet)?

The Dem won, and Chip Wood the Pubbie lost, per the Corinth newspaper, so assuming, as is almost certainly the case, that the Pubbie Arnold won district 3, that gives the GOP 63 seats overall.

I think there's something very wrong in one of the Spotsylvania precincts - Riverbend. It only has 8 total votes counted for the State Senate race but in the county races in the same precinct there are more than 1000 votes.

It looks like a pretty Republican precinct though so I'm not sure it'll help.

Meeker the rest of Riverbend is in another state senate district. The Dems didn't want this precinct in District 17 because it went about 2-1 McCain (called Grange Hall then).  So that is your answer. The Pubs will get their VA CD gerrymander.

Only vaguely related yet still alarming: Tom effing Kean Jr is now my state Senator.

Why are you down on him Fezzy?
