Voter turnout pretty average. We live in a small town so really can't get a feel for anything yet. Very nervous.

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.

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.
