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.

6000+ absentee Votes. I always thought that you could have 100% reporting without counting those. Which actually would not be 100% of the votes. Since the Absentee’s are often not counted until later. The precincts can still report the other votes.

Lamb was the strongest candidate the Dems had.

Why couldn’t he put the race away? Every one supposedly hates Trump and he’s terribly unpopular.

His appearance helped Saccone. Fake news CNN is whistling in the dark.

I agree POTUS made this close. Polling favored Lamb yesterday.

Where are the remaining eleven precincts? At what, 400 votes per precinct, that would be 4400 votes outstanding; Saccone would need to win these 60-40 to surpass the 795 vote lead given Lamb.

I have absolutely no idea what precincts are left or how they lean.

TX counts the absentees first. Or at least they are posted on the secretary of state’s website before the total vote.

My sister said Washington is conservative so lets hope it puts Saccone over the top!

Looks like we’ll have to rely on the absentee for a win.

There should be enough votes in the remaining precincts to put Saccone over the top.

No idea what the hold-up is.

Either way it won’t be over tonight. Calls for recalls, lawsuits, not offering a concession, voter fraud in Allegheny County, “lost” ballots found in a trunk.....

Not in Allegheny County as they show 100% reporting there.

Westmoreland reporting 99%
Washington reporting 93%

Using 4% left - I have 8000 votes still out. I believe Saccone needs a 2000 vote lead tonight to survive the absentee count - just sayin.

I kinda like the idea of GOP holding votes until they pull out a win at the end. Turn the tables on an old Dem trick haha

The message is fine.
The vessel/speaker is great.
It’s the amplifiers/media-pundits: second rate and in need of replacement.

Yea whatever. Are these people morons? Do they not know who the DEM will be voting with once in DC?
Not with Trump.

What gets me is that he bragged about being a spoiler... and his bio says he was served as Legal Counsel to the Majority Whip of the Pennsylvania Senate, so what is he doing running against a Republican as a Libertarian?

Lamb served as a MC/JAG prosecutor. He’s one of those that pushed the Courts Martials of Marines like the “Haditha” Marines prosecuted to satisfy the lust of the radical lefties looking for US blood to discredit Bush. I had/have no respect for the man. He will be a Pelosi brown-noser should he prevail.
