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

[Del Tachi]

Lol at turnout going up in Jones County and Cochran being the beneficiary

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Whew! 95%, and back out of recount territory. 50.4 to 49.6. 2,400 vote difference.

There aren't recount laws in MS.

Well, in that case, McDaniel is the sort of person who would take this to court.

Filing closed months ago.

[Lief 🗽]

Rangel up 3% with 34% of the vote in.

[7,052,770]

Does MS have sore loser laws?  McDaniel seems like the type that would mount a write-in or independent campaign, even though it would ultimately be futile.

From best I can tell, there are no restrictions on write-ins, so McDaniel could if he wanted to.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

95.3% now, back to 50.6 to 49.4. I'm calling this for Cochran!

Mississippi judges are not a very pro-McDaniel contingency.

Not so fast.  There's still quite a bit of outstanding vote from Desoto County that seems to favor McDaniel.

Guys, there's still about 2% left in Jones and 12% left in DeSoto. It's not over yet and McDaniel can squeak by at the last minute. 95% of the vote is in with only a 4,000 vote difference, and even if Cochran narrowly wins this, McDaniel will certainly bring this result to court.

The gap is now 4000 .. Desoto might add about 1000 to McDaniel's margin so it is not enough.

Not so fast.  There's still quite a bit of outstanding vote from Desoto County that seems to favor McDaniel.

But not enough to close a 4000 vote gap.

NY-13

36% in

Rangel- 47.4%
Espaillat- 44.7%

Not so fast.  There's still quite a bit of outstanding vote from Desoto County that seems to favor McDaniel.

Desoto is at 88%, Jones is at 97%. There probably isn't enough left to make up the whole 4,044 vote difference. And with it being outside of 1 point, McDaniel won't take it to court. If it's within 1 point, he just might do so.

[7,052,770]

These numbers don't include the absentee ballots, so we may not know the result tonight.

I thought the Mississippi absentees are supposed to be counted with the election day results.  That's what was reported during the primary.

[Badger]

NY-13

36% in

Rangel- 47.4%
Espaillat- 44.7%

Rangel's approx. 300 vote margin is due to 2 adjacent Bronx precincts on the north edge of his district. Lotsa votes and he carried them with close to 90% of the vote. He's not doing that well in black Harlem precincts!

What gives? Do those neighborhoods hate Dominicans or something?

[muon2]

These numbers don't include the absentee ballots, so we may not know the result tonight.

How long does it take MS to report the absentees? What fraction comes in absentee?

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

NY-4 Dem: Rice beats Abrahams 52-48 with 49% in!

NY-21: Stefanik beats Doheny 60-40 with 84% in!

I see your DeSoto and Jones and raise you 4 Hinds precincts, 2 Harrison precincts and the entire Holmes County - all areas currently going or expected to go to Cochran.

It's over.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

96% now, MS is 50.7 to 49.3. Jones and Desoto aren't going to make up 5,000 votes. Goodbye McDaniel!

[jaichind]

I am impressed by this Cochran comeback.  I expected him to lose by significant margin.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I think I'm going to bed.  I know it's not called, but it looks like Cochran's got it.

[7,052,770]

CL says it's "unclear" how many absentee and affidavit ballots are out there, so nothing is official tonight.
