The aide said that 21K absentee ballots have yet to be counted

You would think these have to be 60% or better for Burns which would be about 2100 votes.

"With 99 percent of precincts reporting Wednesday, Tester had 194,914 votes, or 48.9 percent, and Burns had 193,179 votes, or 48.5 percent."

So we could gold Montana and the Senate with 300 votes?

Yep. We can hope that not too many of those are Californians who have summer homes in Montana and are more military families....

Such a shame that Yellowstone County didn't break more for Burns. He needed a 3-4% separation and only got 2%.

Incidentally, Libertarians, assuming that they would have broken Republican given the chance, would have clearly given Burns the victory.

Third-Party may have sunk this one.
