*Official Election 2005 Results Thread*

Has anyone said anything about CA - 48 ? How is that race going?

I don't think that's tonight.

Wikipedia must be wrong then:

A special election will be held in the 48th Congressional District of California to choose a United States Representative to replace Republican Chris Cox, who resigned effective August 2, 2005, to become Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. A primary election was held on October 4, and the general election will take place on November 8.

[ag]

And again the nail-biter of the night: with all but 29 precincts counted in the VA AG race the gap is just 0.12% percentage points, or just 2,294 votes: 947,455 (R) vs 945,161 (D).  Still, it looks like most remaining precincts should be Rep leaning (though 3 precincts in Arlington county are also pending!).

Yep, it's wrong.

Obviously, a recount will be occurring then.

Not really a surprise if you look at what was reporting. I expect 73 and 74 to go down, leaving only 1 of the 6 Propositions Arnold supported, Prop 75,  with a chance of passing.

This is still absentee ballots.

The Virginia AG race will not be decided tonight!

Creigh Deeds has pulled to within 1,435 votes (.12%) with 99.05% precincts reporting. I also read that 15,000 absentee ballots need to still be counted.

I agree with you, except that I want to see how Prop. 73 fares in Los Angeles County before declaring it going down.

December 6 I believe is the correct date for the runoff between Campbell and Gilchrist.

Scratch my last statement, it is Creigh Deeds who now has a 1,435 vote lead in the Virginia Attorney General race.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Latest California update.

With 22.7% of the precincts (plus most absentee votes) reporting:

Prop 74 - teacher tenure NOW TRAILING
Prop 73 stays about the same at 51.2%
Prop 75 at 53.5%

I just did a VA Gov map - let me know if there are inaccuracies:

Kilgore really underperformed in SE Virginia (Virginia Beach, Norfolk), the Richmond suburbs and NoVA.  He did pretty well in SW Virginia, but since he's from there, I'm not surprised.

He got totally slammed in SE Virginia.  How did that happen?

Scratch my last statement, it is Creigh Deeds who now has a 1,435 vote lead in the Virginia Attorney General race.

Of the 23 precincts remaining, 22 are in counties/cities where McDonnell is currently leading. Should be a very interesting and close race.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Sweet. The 3 closest Props are down to

73: 50.2% - the abortion Prop is close to flipping
74: 48.8% - the teach tenure Prop is looking toast
75: 52.4% - the union polical Prop has tightened, too close to call yet

[Citizen James]

Anyone who is so interested can get a regularly updated java 'ticker' for the CA props here

[Nation]

Some extremely interesting and surprising races --- I've been keeping close tabs on the Buffalo mayoral race (not that it matters), and Byron Brown has become the first black mayor of Buffalo (ever), defeating the extremely smart and more qualified Republican candidate, Kevin Helfer.

63% to 27%. Ugh.

Looks like the only one that will pass is the Union Dues.  That really too bad, the Unions nearly bankrupted themselves trying to defeat this prop, but it looks like that wont happen.

What's with San Bernardino County?
