1. Woohoo!

[pimpbot]

2. theres his problem

"major tabulation error" aka westmoreland shreds a couple hundred democratic ballots.

Why do you think they aren't reporting detailed results? Why do they still have two outstanding precincts?

[mchill]

4. What? Where are you getting this news?

[pimpbot]

9. i'm half joking

There are two precincts outstanding + the absentee ballots. It always seems the republican benefits from the last minute vote counting.

[hedda_foil]

17. That's the way they roll, isn't it?

[mchill]

3. Yeah- I called with some big assumptions and mental math at Lamb winning by 200 plus

[OliverQ]

5. Too soon to call that, especially since the 2 Republican counties aren't

counting absentees until tomorrow, which means some cheating is probably going to happen.

[Big Blue Marble]

11. They are counting now. N/T

[Stallion]

6. There's Some good Math on Wasserman's Twitter Feed that Explains His Calculations

7. I don't know how to project absentee ballots

The numbers from Allegheny seemed to be more lopsided in favor of Lamb than his in-person tally.

That holds some caution in terms of the ones outstanding in the red counties. You can't merely assign identical percentages from today's vote and be certain it will hold up.

But yes, I'd prefer to own this lead.

12. Kornacki just said absentee ballots

tend to slightly favor the Democrats

[Blue_true]

15. Absentees tend to be military and educated people.

Lamb is ex-military. Educated people lean more democrat, even in red districts. Things are looking good for Lamb.

This race DOES show the importance of democratic voters VOTING. Mouthbreather republicans never miss a vote, but many on our side wait until the last minute, then find a reason not to vote.

8. Fraud beats math

[herding cats]

10. I trust him.

So...

[DeminPennswoods]

13. Westmoreland County is run by Dems

In fact, Gina Cerrilli, a Dem and the chairwoman of the commission, is a Lamb supporter.

14. YAY!!! nt

[triron]

16. 1195 absentee ballots in wash. cty

looks pretty good for lamb

[Awsi Dooger]

18. Might be a premature call

Those two Westmoreland counties sliced the lead by nearly 300

[Cha]

19. How could he call it when it's not over

and it's so close?

We've been here before..

Not counting until all the chicks are hatched.

[triron]

20. Now Lamb leads by nearly 600 with only 1400 absentee ballots left.

All other votes are in.

[Cha]

21. Thanks, triron.. we'll see.
