2011 Election Results Thread

[Wonkish1]

Does anyone have any links that show the real-time election results for the Mississippi legislature?  Because it seems clear that the Mississippi SOS has no intention of providing it.

'Kay, I found what I was looking for, more or less.

Here is what I've been using...

Went into tonight knowing SB 5 was going down, Beshear winning, and Bryant winning.

So for me there were 3, maybe 4 things I wanted and were quite possible.

1) Virginia Senate--Cared about that the absolute control of all houses in Virginia and is way more valuable to me than the remaining 3 items.

2) Mississippi House--Looking pretty damn good so far

3) Iowa State Senate--To bad!

4) Cutting the Dem majorities in the NJ chambers by a few members--Didn't happen, but isn't as valuable as the top 3 items


So I'll say that I'm quite content so far, and if the GOP pulls the MS house I turn to very happy.



Otherwise issue 3 in Ohio was at least somewhat interesting in regards to the 2012 election, but I'm already quite sure Obama will lose Ohio anyway so I didn't really care. Of course I'm not happy that SB 5 is over, but for me I had my disappointment several months ago when it made it on the Ballot because I knew it would be thrown out.

Currently Close GOP Leads on GOP Seat

I should point that most of the ones that have the particular side up on the other are like 100% reporting with like a 3-6% spread...I don't know why they are calling them yet.

There are also a couple races where the results appear to not be coming in at all.


Based on what I'm seeing here the absolute spread is probably GOP +6 to +11(counting 1 of 2 of the races that have no results).

Its looking like its going to be +7 to +9 which would result in the GOP picking up the house(in the case of 7 you have Reeves(R) as tie breaker).

Update here:

It looks like the GOP has taken the Mississippi house taking complete control of the government. For some reason they haven't called a bunch of races with all the precincts in and 4%+ spreads. There is still 1 D seat that hasn't had a single vote get posted yet.


But the number looks like its going to be GOP +9 plus or minus 1. Since 7 was all that was needed to take defacto control of the house I'd say the GOP has pulled it off.

I'm very pleased with last nights results that's all I can say. The two things I wanted most were Virginia and Mississippi and I got them. Iowa was a let down.

Torie you seem to have looked up the previous numbers from Alcorn county. Are we to expect anything remotely close in District 2(nothing reporting yet)?
