The 2014 primary season ends (Sept. 9: DE, MA, NH, NY, RI)

[ElectionsGuy]

Anybody know if there's a large recount margin in Mississippi?

[Del Tachi]

Warren County flips to Thad with 32% in, no new numbers in Rankin, Lafayette or Pontotoc.  Monroe County could also be a sleeper for Cochran.

And 25% is still out in Hinds

[Pessimistic Antineutrino]

McDaniel is leading by 18 votes in Rankin County. Not sure what to say about that.

[Miles]

95% in for AL-06 and Palmer leads with 20% for 2nd place.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Warren County flips to Thad with 32% in

It flipped back to Mamacita with 36% in.

Anyway, I'm having flashbacks to Florida 2000 here.   Rankin, Rankin, Rankin.

[GaussLaw]

This is insane.

There will probably be more total votes in JONES COUNTY than Hinds in Mississippi, home to the biggest city in the state.

Un-freaking-believable.

One can't deny that McDaniel can make some people insanely devoted to him.

[Torie]

Odds are very high the Miss Senate race is headed to a runoff. Cochran should pick up a bit of ground, but there are not enough votes left to get over 50%.

[ElectionsGuy]

I'll just say, no matter who wins tonight (or if it goes to a runoff), Thad Cochran is the Richard Lugar of 2014.

[Maxwell]

Yeah, Bohligner lost, but it's not surprising, considering the Democratic Party did EVERYTHING in their power to defeat him.

Doesn't matter because Walsh is headed for defeat anyway.

[LeBron]

AP calls the Senate GOP Primary for Daines. No real surprise, but oddly enough, Cundiff is outperforming Edmunds which I wasn't expecting. Senator Walsh leads Bohlinger 64-23, but still no call here.

Zaun still favored to win IA-3's GOP Primary which is awesome for a huge pickup opportunity, but his lead is dropping against Cramer. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely Kajtazovic will win the Dem primary for Braley's open IA-1 seat. AP just called the Senate primary for Ernst, so that's good for us!

McDaniel is exactly at 49.9% against Cochran's 48.4% with 87% in. My God this is close! It's looking like Palazzo will beat Taylor in MS-4, but he can at best try for a runoff with him.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Meanwhile, Rankin has literally not moved for an hour.

[IceSpear]

I'll just say, no matter who wins tonight (or if it goes to a runoff), Thad Cochran is the Richard Lugar of 2014.

And hopefully Travis Childers will be the Joe Donnelly of 2014.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I'm gonna make a projection right now: the MS race is going to a runoff.  You heard it here first, folks.

[Never]

In Mississippi, there are literally NO recount laws whatsoever.

Un-freaking-believable.

Jones County alone constitutes about 8% of McDaniels' total vote count so far.

Unfortunately, it seems unlikely Kajtazovic will win the Dem primary for Braley's open IA-1 seat. AP just called the Senate primary for Ernst, so that's good for us!

Either way if Zaun doesn't cross 35% it's headed to a convention.

And we all know how the IAGOP is...

Are you accounting for Mississippi being one of the most inelastic Republican states in the nation? McDaniel will probably still win if he is the nominee.

How in the world do they make that work!?  (Other than not having close elections. )

[ElectionsGuy]

Although King (not our King ) is still in the lead for NM, Allen Webber is slowly creeping up on him 31-25. 39% in.

Apparently there is a runoff for the D's in MS-3.

In AL-6, DeMarco and Palmer will go to a runoff, ultimately though DeMarco should win.

Polls have closed in California, with its 53 house districts and 8 statewide races.

Sure, if a guy with a history of making bigoted comments and whose supporters have been going after Cochran's ailing wife is electable.

Not saying Childers will win, but the "Mississippi is inelastic" meme only applies to presidential elections. Remember that as late as 2008 3 of Mississippi's 4 districts sent Democrats to the House.

Well, as long as there isn't a tie, I guess they're good

Probably. But Mourdock was favored as well. Considering McDaniel is a racist neoconfederate, I'd say chances are pretty high he will make an Akin/Mourdock gaffe.

Musgrove only ran 2 points ahead of Obama in 2008.  I'm not holding my breath for a Childers win.
