Don't worry Dems. According to X, the precincts coming in now are some temporary Republican ones. Jolly leads by less than 1,000 votes 47-47 with 151 of 225 precincts reporting. (79,000 to 78,000). Overby is taking about 5% of the vote.

I hate to say it, but I'm calling it for Jolly. Sad

206 of 225 precincts are reporting with Jolly leading 48-46 by nearly 3,000 votes. This sucks. Sink gets unfairly screwed over again by another awful Republican candidate. Florida just destroyed any faith Democrats had going into these 2014 House elections.

Not only is it the gerrymander, but it's also these damn outside groups that flood tons of money and anti-Obamacare ads into the district. Even if Sink is a failure of a candidate, the Dems still outraised Republicans here and we could have won this seat if Sink would have gotten out of the way and just led Ehrlich run again, but no, her ego was too big. I can't believe we wasted this much on this race only to lose, so you know what, hopefully this is a sign that we can't have Sink screwing it up for a 3rd time in 2016 against Rubio. We need someone like DWS or Deutch.

And all 225 precincts are now reporting:
David Jolly (R) - 48.43% (88,294)
Alex Sink (D) - 46.56% (84,877)
Lucas Overby (L) - 4.83% (8,799)
Write-Ins (Michael Svenson) - 0.18% (325)

Making it official, Jolly holds the seats for Republicans making the balance of power the same in the U.S. House of Representatives - 234 Republicans and 201 Democrats. I can't believe Barker actually supported this guy given Jolly's hate against the ACA and social security. Floridians really just let our party down tonight and with this, I'm really questioning the optimism in FL-2 now and how much money or faith we should put into Graham.
