MT-AL: Rob Quist (D) vs. Greg Gianforte (R) vs. Mark Wicks (L), May 25

[The_Doctor]

Could we just listen to the one Montanan here who has been tracking this race from day one?

TD, it is ridiculous that you are in here desperate to trash your own party.

What are you talking about? I haven't trashed the Republican Party here. WTF? Where have I said anything tonight? I was referring to MT Treasurer.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Let's be honest. "Law and order" types are only "law and order" types because they don't want black/brown skinned people living near them or their families.

White guy body slams someone and he's a rebel.

That is a sad truth

[ApatheticAustrian]

sure lot of votes outstanding but....to win quist needs to overperform in strange places.

if bullock won by only 4 and quist is mostly weaker......seems clear enough for me.

[Roronoa D. Law]

And Fairfax County just came in! Gianforte took the lead!!!!!!!!!

How can you be happy about this? :/

I just like the Fairfax County comparison, because this always happens in VA.

Well Fairfax is the largest county in the VA.

[Beet]

Quist' win will not only send a message to Republicans, but Democrats as well.

The message is we need a national popular vote and other electoral reforms for true democracy. Quist would have won easily in DC, but we don't get a seat in Congress. We must also resolutely convince people that this is just. In the meantime, we need to run 3rd way centrists like Joe Manchin, not far left kooks.

This is wrong on so many levels.

[NeederNodder]

Can the House deny Gianforte if they find reason (the assault is the obvious one)?

Ryan can, but probably won't.

[Kamala]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the beautiful names of Montana's counties?

[Doimper]

MT Treasurer - thoughts on what the margin's going to turn out to be?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Big Horn flipped on map 1a on DDHQ

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

If Gianforte wins, I never want to hear another complaint about how "violent" Antifa is ever again.  In no sane country would this stuff not be a career-ender, and since the limited information we have suggests most Gianforte voters were not swayed by last night's incident, I question whether this would have made a difference a week prior.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Quist needs to hope that he does markedly better in the remaining returns from Yellowstone, Cascade, and Lake, and that his margins hold in Lewis and Clark, Gallatin, and Missoula. Worth noting that we have nothing from Flathead yet.

[MT Treasurer]

Indeed, it looks like the East-West gap will be much wider than usual.

[History505]

Nate Silver saying on his live blog saying what we are seeing is the early vote rather than the Election Day results.

No sh**t?

LOL, I know he stating the obvious.

[Classic Conservative]

Quist' win will not only send a message to Republicans, but Democrats as well.

Are you still stuck in yesterday? Quist ain't winning hunny, sorry to burst your bubble!

[TheSaint250]

Can the House deny Gianforte if they find reason (the assault is the obvious one)?

Ryan can, but probably won't.

What's procedure with that? Kinda interested.

[heatcharger]

Why did everything slow to a crawl? Currently it looks like Quist's rural, populist appeal isn't translating into much success at all.

Quist' win will not only send a message to Republicans, but Democrats as well.

Yeah, I'm still waiting on that.

[Jeppe]

Amanda Curtis would've made this race competitive, tbh.

Are you kidding?

Yeah, I doubt we'd have been hearing a steady stream of oppo dumps about her performing at nudist resorts or shady dealings over her rental homes for a couple of months..

Lost by 18% in 2014, atleast Quist is keeping it close !

Totally different national environment, and that was after the previous Democratic incumbent had to drop out because of a scandal. Quist had a golden opportunity and blew it.

You saying it's wrong, ignoring the overwhelming amount of evidence to the contrary, does not make it so. It's means you're in denial.

[krazen1211]

Can the House deny Gianforte if they find reason (the assault is the obvious one)?

No.

[Badger]

Hell no. He can hold Piano Man's balls to the fire to extract whatever votes he needs.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Madison flipped from Quist to Gianforte

I like law and order for the sake of keeping Americans safe regardless of skin color.

And no, Gianforte is not a rebel he's an a**hole who tackled a reporter for no good reason.

You do realize Quist is massively over-performing Clinton's number in a race which Zinke wins by 15-20% every election off. This was a 20% loss seat, Curtis lost by 18% in 2014. Quist is keeping it close, let all the results come in !

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Looks like it is going as I predicted, Gianforte +3 49% to 46% to 5%
