I'm calling the race right now. With 72% reporting Mike Lee has a 3% lead over Tim Bridgewater. The remaining precincts are in areas where Lee has overall been doing better. Mike Lee will almost surely win the Utah senate race in the November general election as Utah is very Republican.
Great news.
Good news tonight, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Trey Gowdy, and Mike Lee
With 79.7% of precincts in:
Mike Lee 76,596 51.4%
Tim Bridgewater 72,424 48.6%
So the lead is 4,172 with about 40,000 votes left to go. So Bridgewater has to win remaining vote 55-45 to barely pull it out.
Politico has just called the race for Mike Lee
Utah - From a man locked in a blue state, I say HOORAAH! Judah the lion!!
84.4% Reporting
Mike Lee 82,678 51.5%
Tim Bridgewater 77,745 48.5%
Lead expands to 4,933
So 4.7% came in 11,403 votes
Lee 6,082 53.3%
Bridgewater 5,321 46.7%
Good news today but this is the best news yet. I just could not be happy had the other candidate endorsed by the Senator removed had won.
Well Lee only needs about 12,500 votes out of about 30,000 to win now.
