Lamb vs. Saccone Special Election PA18

NY Times ^ | March 13, 2018

[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.

[Religion and Politics]

So FreeRepublic’s LS says Saccone pulls it out? Hmmm. If Saccone does, and there is a recount, are we going to have school walk outs?

[SMGFan]

Sometimes runoffs look like a good thing if under 50%

[Sarah Barracuda]

There’s always people who show up to vote for someone who has ZERO chance of winning, happens every time

[Repeal 16-17]

Less than the 0.5% now

Automatic recount.

[EdnaMode]

It looks too close to call with 12 precincts left to report.

[romanesq]

Eeked out!

According to @LarrySchweikart again:

“Hearing that Saccone has won by 690 votes.”
All prayers and glory to the Lord and thank you POTUS!

“Automatic recount. “

That’s Good!

[janetjanet998]

900ish Lamb up now but 97% in Alleghengy versus 99% in Westmoreland...

if the trends for the rest of the 10% in Washington continue (assuming same population). only +300 or so for Saccone when all report in

[Blue Highway]

Free Republic’s LS still thinks Jeff Sessions is some mastermind too..

[11th_VA]

Can they win if under 50% ?

[snarkytart]

that’s recount territory right??

[NImerc]

If that Washington Co. figure is right on the NYT sight, He has a chance.

[laconic]

Who is Larry Schweikart and what does he base his findings on?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#379: "there was a freakin’ Libertarian in this PA-18 race. GRR!!"

The libertarian is doing what libertarians do best—acting as the spoiler. His fellow chemtrails, bigfoot, and Area 51 enthusiasts can be happy with that.

[Baldwin77]

Heard that’s not true in PA - in congressional races.

[Sacajaweau]

Only for statewide elections

[romanesq]

I’m with Larry. Never got off the #SilentExecutioner Hon. AG Jeff Sessions Express.

Wait until the OIG report comes out and the dominoes begin falling.

[laconic]

Nate Cohn is saying Saccone by 784 votes? Where, please?
