^ Ol' Bev Perdue was right. I think we just suspend these elections, preferably until 2016.

I knew coal county would be problematic for Grimes...

Anyone have a blank version of Smid's House map? 

I have a smaller version.

[Miles]

Gwen Graham running 3-4% ahead of Obama, but its early.

[Miles]

AOS calls VA for Warner.

At least one in the Mark Caucus will stick around...

James Hohmann ‏@jameshohmann  50s51 seconds ago
The network exit polls have Kay Hagan up 3 points (49-46) in North Carolina.

[Miles]

Lots left, but Hagan winning (what looks like) the early vote 55/40 in Watauga. Good if it holds up.

Geaux Kay!

[Miles]

FL-02 for Graham.

MD-06 just called for Delaney.

[Miles]

It's not surprising that the CO race was close. Latinos made of 14% of the electorate. Udall's ground game worked.

I know you're trolling but Udall lost Pueblo County. That's proof Hispanics were taking a siesta on election day

On the SOS site, Udall won Pueblo County by 262 votes.

^ There's a running conspiracy theory at RedRacingHorses that Colleen Mathis, one of the commissioners that drew that AZ map, was in league with Democrats; she purportedly pushed the commission to draw a D-friendly map. They call the AZ map the 'Mathismander.'

[Miles]

The Republican in NY-25 just conceded.

After this, Democrats should be nudging Slaughter to the door for next cycle.

[Miles]

WV House vote by county:



I understand Rahall would do well there, but he's at 78% (!) in Lincoln County. Its possible, as fairly few votes were cast there (about 2K), but I'm wondering if thats a tabulation error on the SOS site.

If true, 78% would be a huge improvement even from 2012 (he got 61% there).

[Miles]

^ Yeah, I agree.

I could be wrong, but my guess is that the third parties hurt Casey more; there were several counties where the two-party share summed to less than 90% of the vote.

Casey won Kanawha 53/38 but was in the mid/low-30s in most pandhandle counties.

[Miles]

Democrats hold CA-07 and CA-16.

[Miles]

^ What I noticed when I broke the SC races down by CD was how consistently Scott overperformed Graham. I know Graham had a conservative Indie in his race, but still. The exception was CD6, where Scott only did a few points better, suggesting Scott didn't have any special crossover appeal with blacks.

[Miles]

^ We'll also be covering it at AoS. We mad several first calls on election night last month

[Miles]

^ For election night, they assigned us each a state, and I was one of the guys on the VA team

I was expecting it to be boring haha.
