Primary Night Results Thread (AL, CA, IA, MT, NJ, NM, SD)

[Meeker]

For the "Super Tuesday" of Congressional primaries

[Sam Spade]

What all primaries are up, though I will probably keep going my NM special thread (it's a state I love).

[cannonia]

I'll put this here, you can lock my thread.

I happened to be driving down Highway 49 in El Dorado County, so I decided to count the Ose and McClintock signs.  It was a whopping 5 for McClintock and 3 for Ose until I hit Placerville.  Local races had a LOT more signs up.

On US-50 in Cameron Park and EDH, there were huge signs for both on every big hill on the side of the freeway.  Obviously that's just because it's an expensive, high-profile race and doesn't say anything about support.  I didn't see any signs for Terbolizard or the other candidate (can't remember her name).

My prediction for CA-04: McClintock 56%, Ose 34%, the others split the last 10%.

And just for laughs, I'll predict that Heather Fargo wins the Sacramento mayoral race with just above 50% and avoids a runoff.

Done

I partially corrected your post to list the primaries occurring this evening.

By the way, the split primary is a horrible idea, and turnout in California is expected to be rotten.

You should be happy.  That makes McClintock an even more sure primary winner than I might otherwise think he would be up there.

Well, it's the only contest I'll let myself be optimistic on, so Ose's negative ads will surely carry the day.  And then Charlie Brown will win in November.  And then California will fall into the ocean.

Does anybody know which Secretary of State's/Elections Divisions websites are good/suck?

[Sam Spade]

I'll work a little on that.  The AP sites may also be ok, if they can be found, in association with some local newspaper.

The NM SOS is completely incompetent, but they will report.

Here are the AP sites:
Iowa
Alabama
California
Montana
New Jersey
New Mexico
South Dakota

Wow, I've never seen these before. How handy

[Sam Spade]

Thanks.

The NM SOS has nothing up.  Why am I not surprised?

CA has a good SOS office.

[Keystone Phil]

NJ's Secretary of State site doesn't carry live results. Instead, follow NJ races from the NJN website - http://www.njn.net/newspublicaffairs/coverage/2008primaryelection.html

I'll say it does. With pretty maps, too.

Game on in New Jersey and Alabama

Ditto for New Jersey.  (And, of course, this would be the first year New Jersey has ever had a split primary, so turnout should be absolutely abysmal.)

[Verily]

Turnout was pretty good here, but the city is absolutely plastered with posters for the City Council primaries, so no surprise. I do expect disastrously low turnout in most of the state.

Anyway, polls are closed.

[Meeker]

Where the numbers are coming in is going to be critical for the New Jersey results. Does anyone have a site with a county breakdown?

[Verily]

First precinct is from Ocean County.

[Verily]

More from Ocean and one from Hunterdon. Lautenberg and Zimmer are dominating so far.

Sabrin is leading Pennacchio. Paulites apparently do vote when Ron Paul isn't on the ballot as long as a surrogate is.

Not many in yet from Ocean but it's not good for Andrews so far.
