Lamb vs. Saccone Special Election PA18
NY Times ^ | March 13, 2018

Posted on 03/13/2018 5:16:01 PM PDT by Pinkbell

A thread to discuss the results.

I feel like Lamb has a lot of momentum, has run as a moderate, and has run a better campaign. I'll predict he'll win tonight (although I'd like to see Saccone win).

NYT does a good job with election results.

I do worry about the LOSERTARIAN on the ballot in case this turns into a nail biter.

He’s only taken about 600 votes....not even 1 percent. I don’t think he will be a factor.
********************************************************************
I hope you’re right but I’ve seen this sad story many times. Right now, with 96% of the precincts reporting, the ‘RAT Lamb leads by about 1,230 votes and the LOSERTARIAN has 1,274 votes.

YUK!1

This district may very well not exist next time. Apparently being redrawn. Both candidates may run again in different districts.

Then why even bother with this election?

Connor Lamb is looking to pull this out. Look at the NYT map. Every area on the vote trends went blue. Now we have to see the numbers to see did Republicans stay home or switch?

“This district may very well not exist next time. Apparently being redrawn.”

That redistricting edict laid down by the PA Supreme Court is back in Federal Court. It’s not a done-deal ... yet.

Just heard on CNN that Saccone didn’t run his first TV ad until last week. Why? Dumb.

Ever heard of a trend?

Lamb has been trending toward winning all night.

He’s been in the lead ALL NIGHT.

Do you think a few small areas will change this?

Didn't the original R candidate have to drop out? That may have something to do with the late start on campaign ads for Saccone.

I sure hope Saccone doesn’t run again. I read weeks ago about how he wasn’t much of a campaigner. Wasn’t very active raising money. I guess he felt like Hillary .... It was his turn.

A slightly better than average candidate would have won this race going away. If Saccone loses, this needs to be the last of his running for office.
