Last evening I began watching the PA-18th-CD election returns on the New York Times newspaper election results site...which is by far the best in the business for election reporting and background information.
As the initial election returns flowed in, the Times indicated that, though the race was very close, it appeared like Conon Lamb would eke out a victory scoring 52%-48% over Rick Saccone.
Then about fifteen minutes later, the Times suddenly changed its prediction to Saccone winning by a 62%-38% over Lamb. The Times said that they had information as to voting patterns in the Conservative counties, indicating a Saccone victory. I was stunned out of my senses....this lasted for few minutes...when suddenly the Times killed all of its prediction outlines, saying that they did not have enough accurate information to predict results, either way.
I immediately smelled a rotten fish, that someone had gotten to the Times folks and told them cut that stuff out.....Lamb is going to win. Of course election tampering came into my mind immediately.
If I were the GOP/RNC & the Saccone folks...I would "hard line" follow-up on this "weird" series of events with the New York Times...which "Never" makes this kind of error on election reporting...Strange?. It smells like voter fraud might have been alive and well in the Conor Lamb camp last evening. Just a thought...folks!!!

I don’t know of any media outlet who had Saccone up by 14 points at any time within the past few months, much less yesterday. If the Times was predicting that then either they were mistaken or stupid.
It’s a left-wing newspaper, what do you expect?
Yeah I agree they do a good job on election reporting. But see statement 1 above.
All that the NY Times said when they erased their posting was that they did not have enough reliable information to continue this process. Nothing was mentioned or referred to about a mistake or misprint.

I was watching the NY Times site pretty closely and never saw them give Saccone a 62% chance. The reason they took the predictor down was because Westmoreland County (a Republican county) was not providing precinct-level results. Therefore the Times was not able to use its modeling from past elections to make a prediction for this one based on incoming precinct results.
That was because Allegheny County had just finished counting its absentee ballots after 100% of the election-day ballots had been counted.
If you go back and review the “Meter” readings you will clearly see the Saccone percentages vary from 52-62% chance of winning. Then..like waving a magic wand...the percentages were erased and gone.
Sniff - Sniff, EW ICK, I smell something stinking. What is that ODER?

You know it! They’ve been doing it for years.
1) PA GOP/Saccone looking said to be filing multiple challenges, involving GOP people turned away from polls (told "you're not in this district"), votes changed in Allegheny, wrong info about voting day posted on SoS website and non-citizens voting.
______________
The number of absentee ballots in Alleghany were about 5% more than what Lamb was running in that county. Enough to make a difference.
Of course. Fraud always works for RATs because the GOPe is complicit.
Those were the absentee ballots that caused the change.
Years ago a local news station filmed Tim Stevens, head of the local NAACP driving van loads of patients from mental hospitals to the polls.
They had lists of candidates tho vote for written on their hands.
The Dems go to nursing homes and care facilities and "help" the patients vote the "right way".
Of course they have absentee ballot fraud down to a science.
Don't know how the rank and file voted but even after almost destroying the coal and steel industries the unions still support the Dems.
