*Official Election 2005 Results Thread*

[Dave from Michigan]

the last poll for Detroit mayor race had  Hendrix 43%  Kilpatrick 41%  

hopefully Hendrix will pull it off

LOL, be easy.  Still 2000+ precincts to go.

Listen, this is like basketball: everybody knows that a two-pointer in second 15 means nothing, but it is still fun. At this stage it is just that, so for politics fans there is no more shame in shouting stupid things about something insignificant than for sports fans it is to shout "go!" for the stupid ball. It's just innocent fun, that's all.

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

Virginia is looking very good for Kaine right now.

Not so much because he is up by 6 in the absolute number, but because he is running 24 points ahead of his party's Lt. Gov candidate.   This must indicate a bunch of right-leaning voters ticket-splitting in Kaine's favor.

The Gov's race has more precincts reporting than the other 2 races.  That's why Kaine is so far ahead of them.

Yes but when those good Kaine numbers come in that means we have some swing precincts reporting, right?

Where are you getting those numbers from?  I find that last update difficult to believe: It has >80% of the vote going to Kilgore since the last update.

Is CNN doing all night coverage? Must be a slow news day. Better get to my TV right now.

[Alcon]

56-43 Kilgore with 16% reporting.

Potts is sucking bad so far.

Kaine just closed the gap a little too.  LETS GO NOVA

[Sam Spade]

Just as an early observation:  Potts seems to be underproducing the numbers that he got in the polling data.

I overcounted him at 2.3%, I think.

Their result are really weird...Byrne is running 12 points AHEAD of Kaine right now, although it's 16% reporting vs. 20%.

[Alcon]

55-44 Kilgore with 20%, mostly (by anecdote) in southern Virginia.

10 minutes until New Jersey.

EDIT:  Did anyone else see how VA is listed as 9% turnout with 16% precincts reporting?  What's with that?

[Erc]

Who's expected to win in the Lt. Governor & Atty General races in Virginia?

[wbecker]

kaine will soon close his gap. the new jersey results will be interesting to see. many predict a last-minute comeback for doug forrester.

The Republican Lt. Gov is suppose to win big.  The AG race is a sligh lean to the Republican.

If it is in Southern Virginia, then it is good news for kaine.
