Beshear can actually win this, wow.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Idk I'm worried about Beshear. He should be winning Oldham and Boone.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Come on Beshear

[Lisa's voting Biden]

50.6% in - Bevin ahead by 2.3%

A write in candate in Virginia is beating the democrat

Is that the district where the Republican had no choice but to run as a write-in?

Right.  Freitas (the incumbent) missed the deadline to file his paperwork to get on the ballot.

How do they know this? I thought write-in voting wasn't happening until later?

Total write ins are counted, not the words on them. If the total is sufficiently large (say 60-40) the seat will be called. If not, we wait. We have to assume that a large enough write in total will not have tons of micky mouses or misspells.

Beshear takes the lead on CNN with 67% in

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Revising my gun-to-my-head prediction from Bevin+2 to Beshear+1.

[Thunder98]

Yeah, Bevin is toast.

[BP🌹]

Idk I'm worried about Beshear. He should be winning Oldham and Boone.

Nah. Boone is quite a bit more Republican than the other two.

[MT Treasurer]

Beshear has taken the lead. This is pretty much close to over.

[Dr. MB]

Not gonna make any prediction yet but damn this is a lot closer than I expected.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Beshear just took lead

[The Free North]

Yeah, Bevin is toast.

Unless the precincts in Louisville are massively unrepresentative, he's got no chance to catch up.

[fluffypanther19]

This Kentucky race is hurting my brain.

More so because it's taking forever to get any precincts out of the urbans.

That and the major reporting disparities between everyone

Were just getting warmed up for 2020, if you don't like tonight, wait until a year from now.

i wasnt here for 2016, so i cant wait for 2020

ANDY BESHEAR WINS ELLIOT COUNTY BY 20 POINTS

[Brittain33]

Personally love spending election nights with you fine folks, especially knowing that there will be numbers to pour over, counties to analyze, trends to anticipate, etc. tomorrow morning.  

True. Though the panic from when some random poster makes a wild, horrifying prediction out of nowhere I could do without.

(pours out a 40 for LimoLiberal)

[libertpaulian]

The fact that Western KY has some blue counties should really worry Team Bevin.

[Crumpets]

Beshear wins Magoffin County (eastern Kentucky).

It's going to be a fun year

[The Free North]

Bevin is trailing Trump by 10-15% in parts of eastern Louisville.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

[Tintrlvr]

CNN dumped all of the Fayette County vote now and has Beshear at 65.5% there. Still has Bevin up slightly statewide so it's Jefferson (only 36% reporting) vs. the rurals at this point.

[junior chįmp]

Damn....why can't I predict anything right

[Penn_Quaker_Girl]

The fact that Western KY has some blue counties should really worry Team Bevin.

Definitely.  Bevin swallowed up most of these counties (at first glance anyway) between 2011 and 2015.

[Lisa's voting Biden]

54.8% in - Bevin ahead 4.2%.
