3 percent of precincts are completely counted. Total votes counted is 26 percent of registered voters.

Assuming turnout is half of registered voters, about half of the vote is now counted.

Furthermore, almost all of the early vote is counted (all that’s left of the early vote is smaller, rural counties).

The early vote is usually the other side’s advantage. The election day vote is usually our advantage. If we’re even or a tad up in the early vote, we should win by a comfortable margin.
