It’s still very close with over 60% reporting, but momentum seems to be on Fischer’s side. She currently leads by about 3,200 votes (2.5%).
With 66% in Fischer has close to 50,000 votes in the GOP primary while Kerrey has only 42,000 in the Demo race. Now it looks like 3 times as many votes were cast in the Republican primary so that is a good sign.
I’m calling it for Fischer. She’s up by 4% with almost all of Douglas County (Omaha) in and with all of suburban Sarpy County in; Lancaster County (Lincoln) is only half in, but Bruning is barely ahead of Fischer there. A lot of Western Nebraska (Fischer’s strongest area) is still out, including all of Buffalo County. I think that Fischer will win by at least 5%.
Just one week ago, this result would have been unimaginable. This is a huge victory for grassroots conservatives. Hopefully, a bit of this will rub off on Utah, Texas and Florida primary voters.
