Probably nothing to see here, right?

From the NYT election site @ 9:38 PM

"Precinct results are not currently available in Westmoreland County, a heavily Republican part of the district. We’re monitoring the county-level results closely, but for now we can’t responsibly make a forecast without more detailed information about where in Westmoreland County the votes are coming from."

1. Lamb must not concede if he is behind.

7. Yeah I agree

I'm not a big "they stole the vote!" conspiracy theorist, but there's been enough solid evidence that there's some there there that even to a skeptic like me this seems, well, off.

2. Counting is being done by republicans, therefore the election is not legit.

Throw up a bunch of numbers all at once, inflate them

what other reason is there to not allow us to know the numbers,nobody is voting

[dalton99a]

3. Same old trick

[wasupaloopa]

4. It seems to me like this is the way the vote counts get changed.

Something like this happened in WI some years back.

I doubt any of our elections are honest

11. I think something similar in GA 08 with Jon Ossoff too

ETA: The server was purposely wiped clean after our side sued. It was such a bad scene the State Atty Genl declined to defend the defendants in the suit. I don't know what happened to the suit.

@Nate_Cohn
Well folks, we have some bad news. Westmoreland County has told us that they aren't going to report results by precinct tonight (though they had previously told us they would). The model runs on precinct results so, this is a problem.

6. They're waiting to see how many they have to steal.

If they can, they will.

15. bingo

8. Historically if Democrats turn out to vote

they win. We win when we bother to vote. Let’s hope Democrats are turning out today.

[RandomAccess]

10. Historically, if the Republicans can, they'll cheat

Turnout be damned -- UNLESS it totally overwhelms what the GOP anticipated.

They weren't able to do this in Virginia because PAPER BALLOTS.

They weren't able to do it in AL because I think they underestimated black women's votes.

I'm betting they're going to come real damn close in PA -- I'm HOPING that our side has the smarts to challenge things.

9. I call BULLSHIT and--forewarning--some of you aint gonna like it

All this pissing and moaning about Republicans counting votes is sour grapes.

Democrats have every opportunity to have OUR people at the table when those votes are tallied--and throughout the process leading up to it. We need to organize enough so that we SHOW THE FUCK UP. Take PART. R E P R E S E N T.

Our presence at these bean-counting affairs--a forceful and righteous presence that is animated by justice--must be part of each electoral district's plan.

Anything less--we roll over, whimper, piss and moan, and ultimately concede.

For those of us who are compelled to answer this noble calling, godspeed!

[dflprincess]

12. My God they don't even bother to pretend they're not cheating any more

because they know the Democrats will just roll over and let them get away with it.

[Kber]

13. It's not getting better

My husband, who hates conspiracy theorists, read the headlines independently of me and said, "Damn, they're stealing this!"

[diva77]

14. watch for voting machine vendors clustered around the central tabulator at

election HQ trying to "fix" a problem

[barbtries]

16. they're going to steal it.

motherfuckers.
