Quist won election day vote in yellowstone by 7%

Source?

some unverified twitter account named sammy snickers.

Prob baloney

Marty coming in hot with the great sources.

[Webnicz]

I'm just interested in the Flathead county vote

[Adam Griffin]

Marty is always sharing hearsay and late-breaking commentary that is found later to be false - disregard. Somebody needs to stay off the Twitter.

[TheSaint250]

Lol CNN is always so behind with the latest results

Something really needs to be done about the right wing bias of the media in America

I guess unsubstantiated twitter rumors are Quist's only real hope at this point.

A reminder that the DCCC spent a tenth on this race what they've spent in GA-6 so far.

Maybe cause they knew it really wasn't winnable?

Bullock won the state against Gianforte as Clinton lost by 20 points. Jon Tester got elected twice here.

1) Those two are more moderate than Quist

2) The media markets aren't even comparable

3) Hillary did better in GA-6 than MT-AL by about eighty miles.

Not every seat deserves equal funding. Sorry. Georgia-6 was always, always more winnable than MT-AL.

[Pessimistic Antineutrino]

Quist leads Blaine County by a solid 1 vote.

Why do Democrats keep saying this about seats they lose by a whisker (MT, KS-4)?

[libertpaulian]

Also, calling the race at this point would be...uh... a very bad idea.

Problem is Quist is getting more and more behind.

Any reason? I called it yesterday for Gianforte after slamgate happened.

[The Other Castro]

Also, calling the race at this point would be...uh... a very bad idea.

I mean...

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

I mean, it seems like Republicans rallied around to support Gianforte after the incident.

[Beet]

Remember, Bullock was an incumbent who had 60+ approval ratings barely coasted by-- only won by 4 points. Otherwise he would have been toast.

[Classic Conservative]

Gianforte up 14% in Flathead

[Badger]

Why not? Serious question for the local guy considering it appears to this midwesterner that Piano Man's got this.

[Sorenroy]

The NYT numbers seem... weird. For instance, both the NYT and the MT SOS report the same number of votes in Missoula, but the NYT says that 32/52 precincts are in while the MT SOS says that zero are. Is the NYT trying to estimate the percentage of the early vote to election day voters, or is something messed up with their reporting?

Quist has also raised millions of dollars, getting a fundraising advantage over The Piano Man.

Quiet, it just easier to blame the DCCC then to admit that left-wing populism isn't some magic elixir that is going to win over rural voters.

Huge margin shifts in such a short time can't be discounted.

What % in?

[The_Doctor]

MT Treasuer/TN Vol has consistently said the vote can get very funky in the 70-90% range. He said at one point Pianoforte was ahead with 80% in but Bullock pulled ahead.
