Undecided Races

CA 4th – They say it could take a week to declare a winner and that there are 40,000 outstanding provisional and absentee ballots.  Sounds kind of a high number for a congressional district.

Why do people in CA 4 seem content voting for felons and nutjobs?

ID 1st – Another nut out!!!

MD 1st – Kratovil is ahead by 931 votes and he carried every county in the Eastern Shore, including Cecil County (which is somewhat Republican).  A Libertarian candidate has effectively denied Harris by taking more than 7,900 votes.  There is no hope for Andy Harris.  Good JOB nut!!!  Let’s hope that McClintock loses too and that will be six Club for Growth nuts gone (Sali, Harris, Musgrave, Feeney, McClintock, and Walberg).

VA 5th – Perriello is ahead by 31 votes and there doesn’t seem to be much hope remaining for Goode.  The loser (Goode) wants to challenge the provisional ballots, which coincidentally, are currently giving Perriello his narrow victory.  Goode is wanting to call in the lawyers already.  However, provisionals from Albemarle and Brunswick counties, areas with lots of African-Americans, have not been counted.  The cities of Martinsville and Charlottesville, also favorable to Democrats, have also yet to report provisionals.  The race is close because Perriello has managed to keep Goode under 65%.  Goode needed to keep these areas over 70% in order to offset the 80% vote that Perriello took in Charlottesville.

OH 15th – Kilroy is once again in a close race, yet much closer the second round.  Two independent candidates have hurt Stivers big time.  Approximately 5,000 absentee ballots and provisional ballots remain.  However, provisional ballots should go strong for Kilroy.  Stivers currently has a 321 vote margin lead.

WA 8th – Washington and Oregon must hand count their ballots because they take like a week just to report all precincts.  Maybe they need to call on Microsoft to develop technology for them and Oregon should start counting votes on election day and not election night so that the results could be known sooner.

MD and VA look good.  In WA 8, Burner needs to take a strong margin in King County and currently she’s not.  Pierce County should go for Reichert.

CA 4 and OH 15 are simply hard to tell at this point
