[War on Want]

What the fuck is up with Sussex County? I'm guessing the results are reversed.

Oh my god politico has Sussx going to Corzine.  I must be a mistake.

[Eraserhead]

OK, it's clear people. Christie wins. Game over.

(if this ends up wrong, laugh at me for all eternity)

It won't be called for quite a while but yeah, it's a done deal.

[Phony Moderate]

Christie now leading by 49% to 44%. Corzine wins Sussex County by 64% to 26%.

Yeah, probably.

Edit: NY Times shows the same.  The Sussex County Clerk's website hasn't posted any results.

[YankeeFan007]

Christie now leading by 49% to 44%. Corzine wins Sussex County by 64% to 26%.

If it were true, this would be a huge upset.

[muon2]

Union returns to normal with 69% in. It's 51-43-5 for Corzine.

[auburntiger]

Gloucester officially called for Christie.

WHAT!?!?!?!!! Where did this come from. There's not even 50% in yet.

[muon2]

Christie now leading by 49% to 44%. Corzine wins Sussex County by 64% to 26%.

If it were true, this would be a huge upset.

It's also strange that it went from 0 to 100% reporting in a single splash.

That's not quite a "normal" result.

Wow exact tie!

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

And Corzine DID NOT win Sussex.  It's the safest GOP county in the state.

[Zarn]

Some counties do the single splash thing, but the Sussex vote makes zero sense, unless the Republicans forgot to vote there.

I really doubt anyone thinks he did.

The total vote reported is consistent with the 2005 numbers. It looks like when they splashed they reversed the two columns.

[Purple State]

Some counties do the single splash thing, but the Sussex vote makes zero sense, unless the Republicans forgot to vote there.

They would have had to all forget for a 40 point spread. Goodness that shocked me for a minute. Wasn't sure what the hell happened.

[Sam Spade]

Just a numbers screw-up folks, most likely.

[Boris]

wonder how long it'll take them to fix it

[muon2]

Chhristie's holding on to Bergen 48.8 to 48.3 with 79% in. That's a margin of about 1000 votes out of about 200 K cast.

[Phony Moderate]

Burlington, Mercer, and Salem, which all voted for Corzine in 2005, still haven't reported in yet.

[Sam Spade]

wonder how long it'll take them to fix it

apparently now - moved to 64-26 CHristie

[Phony Moderate]

Mercer is now reporting, and Christie is leading by 58% to 36% with 15.2% reporting.

[Zarn]

Burlington usually posts it all at once and later in the night than other counties. No surprise in not posting yet.

[muon2]

Christie is leading 48-45 in Atlantic with 58% in.
