6. Round those numbers, don't truncate

Lamont's at 52%, Lieberman at 48%, with more than 50% of precincts reporting.

Ask yourself now, what is the margin of error for a sample that includes 50% of likely voters?

Lamont wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:party: :toast:

3. still up by 6000

U.S. Senate - - Dem Primary
404 of 748 Precincts Reporting - 54.01%
Name Party Votes Pct

4. Can you start locking threads older than 10% reporting behind current?

ie. All threads 44% reporting or older, as there are now 54% reporting.

This'd prevent the "3% reporting" "17% reporting" etc threads from kicking back up and cluttering page 1, as some are doing.
