1. Oh, dear. I was hoping for more enthusiasm than that.

Without enthusiasm and larger than avg turnout, the status quo usually wins. But it's a small town, so maybe.... Also, is it possible that some voted early? Was there early voting? I always try to vote early.

4. According to Monmouth, a low turnout model helps Lamb

He had Lamb up 51-45 with surge turnout, but 51-44 with low turnout.

Thats because low turnout means Republicans stay home, because Democrat enthusiasm to vote is very high.

East Washington. It was snowing hard and the poll worker described turnout as moderately busy.
