The OFFICIAL 2013 Election Results Thread

Obenshain still up 51-48.9 with 90% reporting

My prediction is that Herring barely barely makes it. By about 0.2%.

[ElectionsGuy]

Terry McAuliffe is officially the projected winner.

[ElectionsGuy]

In other news, Bradley Byrne is narrowly leading Dean Young 51-49 with a little over half of the vote counted (AL-1 Primary). Lets hope it stays that way.

[ElectionsGuy]

93% in and its 51-49 Obershain. Holly crap.

[ElectionsGuy]

VA AG 95% reporting

Obenshain 50.6%
Herring 49.3%

Holy sh*t. C'mon Obenshain!

[ElectionsGuy]

Looks like R are going to come through in VA AG.  

We shouldn't say that just yet.

[ElectionsGuy]

Results show Christie cracking 75% in Ocean County, NJ. Amazing.

[ElectionsGuy]

In the NJ Governor's Race, theirs actually many areas left to count that are mostly from suburban and rural (high Christie numbers) so I do indeed think he will get above 60% at the end of the night.

[ElectionsGuy]

With 98% in, Obenshain is leading 50.6-49.4. I can say now that I think Obenshain will narrowly squeak it out. Certainly something I was not expecting.

[ElectionsGuy]

99% in now and 50.4-49.6. Wow.

[ElectionsGuy]

Bradley Byrne is the projected winner of the runoff for Alabama's 1st Congressional District. 53% of the vote vs. 47% with 91% reporting.

[ElectionsGuy]

Obenshain: 1,089,668 (50.0%)
Herring: 1,088,311 (50.0%)

On the bright side for republicans, they can take decent shots and possibly defeat incumbent Terry McAuliffe in 2017 if they're smart enough to nominate the right candidate by then.

Don't forget that you can only run for one term in Virginia.

Oh, yeah.... oops.

[ElectionsGuy]

99.8% Reporting...

What's left?

- Prince William County (1.3% left) (D)
- Rockingham County (3.3% left) (R)
- Rockbridge County (5.6% left) (R)
- Bedford County (3.1% left) (R)
- Mecklenburg County (4.2% left) (R)

Now don't let this fool you, Prince William County has more population than all of these counties by far, but still looks like 50/50 vote left, not necessarily democrat territory.

[ElectionsGuy]

Looks like it will be a few days.... goodnight everybody.

[ElectionsGuy]

Hold on....

It looks like for the first time tonight, Mark Herring has stepped in front of Mark Obenshain just barely. Looks like the final precinct of Newport News came in. There are still some outstanding precincts in the middle of the state so don't go into victory mode or anything.

[ElectionsGuy]

Wow! This is amazing. We won't know who will be Virginia's Attorney General for awhile.

[ElectionsGuy]

The Fairfax County provisionals went 160-103 Herring.   So the final tally going into the recount should be Herring +163.

I hope so.

Is this a local ballot initiative? If so, the republicans must control the municipality (which seems highly unlikely), otherwise, why would democrats put up a vote like this?

It's a citizen's referendum
