CO-07 will flip to Dem. CO-04 looks to be neck-and-neck. The parties will hold serve in the other districts.
Damn. Cook County voters are morons. Stroger wins County Board President and (apparently) every single judge was retained. Nearly all of them deserved to be, but there were a few that every rating body gave bad reviews to.
CNN is also showing fewer than 7,000 votes difference now, with a third of the Richmond votes still out. This one is going down to the wire.
Numbers on those two Ga. races. With 92 and 93 percent of precincts reporting, the Dem incumbents hold itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny leads. I mean, it’s like the Republicans are a bodacious blond’s left buttcheek, and the Dems are bodacious blond’s right buttcheek, and the lead is the tiny little string of a thong dividing the two buttcheeks.
OK, I’ll just give ya the numbers:
GA-08 Marshall (D): 51.1% Collins ®: 48.9% n/a n/a 93% 11:16 pm EST
GA-12 Barrow (D): 50.6% Burns ®: 49.4% n/a n/a 92% 11:06 pm EST
I didn’t know he was running for something this year! 
MSNBC just called it for Senator Akaka!!! Oh, wait, that guy is from HI; he’s not Senator Macaca… 
Using CNN’s data:
Take the sum of all the votes, multiply by (1-%reporting): currently almost 45k votes left. This is of course limited by the fact that I have only two significant figures for 98% reporting in thus far.
As long as Webb gets at least 13% of the remaining vote, it’ll be a tie. I’ve looked at several of the counties that aren’t at 100% yet, and it seems likely that they’ll give Webb more votes than Aleen, by a good bit. Whether that’ll be enough is anyone’s guess.
Indeed. Richmond’s percentage of votes in hasn’t moved in over an hour. It’s the only county with significant votes out. Weird.
It’s looking a bit better for Webb. The last 1% that came in broke a little better for him than I expected.
BBC has interesting priorities.
I’m an idiot. Divide by %reporting to give the total number of votes, which leaves 233k votes out there. This would seriously be one of the greatest Democratic victories today, even though I doubt it’ll happen.
CNN’s website just ticked to 99% and Webb-ahead-by-2.5k.
Four more Richmond precincts just came in and Allen’s lead is down to 3,163. Still four more precincts out in Richmond.
As a voter in TN, I hope I don’t have to apologize for Corker. Locally they had Ford, Jr. at a 5% disadvantage about an hour ago - now recently its down to 3%. My thinking is that the west part of the state has a bigger minority population, so the later votes should be heavy on Democratic.
We’ll see… holding my breath…
The official Virginia site that a couple people have linked to is showing about 97.5% in overall (a bit less than CNN), but it has Richmond City as 88% in, with 11,000 more Webb votes than what the CNN site is showing.
There are some odd discrepancies between the two sites, but those 11k votes are another good indicator for Webb.
CNN is now showing 98% of Richmond precincts and 99% of the total vote reporting, and Webb just flipped into the lead by 2,376 votes.
Damn, this is exciting. I wish I still lived in VA.
If the Dems can get the Senate to go 50-50 would that be all that much worse than getting the slim majority of 51-49? Sure, the Senate still technically has the majority thanks to Cheney, but he can’t go lawyer-hunting anymore and a single member breaking ranks either way can take the tie out of play and maybe there’s another Jim Jeffords somewhere. Besides, the Dems will have an even better shot in 2008 for a solid majority, assuming they can make some gains (which never seems like a great assumption with the Democrats.)
Wow. CNN has 99%, with Webb up 2500 votes. Richmond City suddenly 98% in.
Let’s see what’s out. (but it looks like we’re going to be looking to absentees and recounts before this is over.)
Just in from CNN
Allen 1138676 49%
Webb 1141052 50%
99% reporting…
Well then scratch that, I like CNN’s numbers better 
I’m really up too late. This would give 2.33 million votes total, and there are now 23k left. This could go either way; I’m tempted to say this swing towards Webb in the final hours is meaningful, but that really just seems like wishful thinking.
