[xynthee]

3. Thanks so much!

I've been looking for about ten minutes for live election results, to no avail. Maybe it's because the polls just closed.

[Tx4obama]

4. TPM tweeted something to keep in mind regarding NY-09

@thinkprogress
NOTE: New York's 9th district, where the special election is taking place tonight, will almost certainly be eliminated in redistricting.

5. Looks like the NY race is a safe Dem seat what about NV?

[Tx4obama]

6. When are we going to see the first numbers coming out for NY-09?

I've been checking TPM and AP and nothing yet ;(

And Maddow just said she's still waiting for numbers too ;(

[RBInMaine]

7. Not "safe." It's an angry, OLD, narrow electorate, largely Jewish mad at Obama and his policy on

Israel which is BULLSHIT since it is the same policy of about every other administration we had since Israel became a country. Also lots of anger, of course, over the economy so lots of protest voting. Plus a weak D handpicked candidate. The only hope is if the D did better with a superior turnout operation.

[kelly1mm]

16. Don't forget to point out that the Democratic candidate does not even live in the district.

How did the party let that happen?

[RBInMaine]

17. Yup. They should have had a primary and gotten a much better candidate. This guy stinks.

[Tx4obama]

18. The seat will probably be eliminated during redistricting, says TPM.

See comment #4

[ClarkUSA]

47. The U.S. Constitution doesn't mandate that federal lawmakers live in their congressional districts.

It simply says they must reside in the state they represent when elected.

[kelly1mm]

48. You are right, but common sense does. nt

[kelly1mm]

24. Forgot to add the anger among Orthodox Jews on his vote in the NY

Assembly in support of marriage equality. A brave vote considering his constituency.

[geek tragedy]

26. Also, the Democrat voted for the NY gay marriage bill, which

infuriated the orthodox rabbis in that district, and didn't sit too well with the Archie Bunker types either.

[joshcryer]

40. Wow, that's horrible. Didn't know about that.

What a joke.

[toddwv]

8. Starting to post results now..

[Tx4obama]

9. Yep. First numbers are in !!! n/t

[gateley]

10. So far so good --

One vote ahead. :7

[gateley]

11. Oops, that was quick. nt

[gateley]

12. Only from Queens -- could Brooklyn have a better result? nt

[Tx4obama]

14. At this rate, it's going to be a LONG night. n/t

[Tx4obama]

13. The AP link below is doing a better job of posting than TPM

Election Results

[gateley]

19. It seems to automatically refresh, and we're up again by one

percentage point! Still not a peep out of Brooklyn, though.

[gateley]

20. Uh oh. Guess I should have been so eager to get Brooklyn's reports.

You're right -- it'll be a long night!

[Tx4obama]

15. Polls are now closed in NV-02 too.

NV-02 Results

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2011/by_county/NV_US_House_0913.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS

[toddwv]

21. Weprin leads Total 27/512 1,305 50% 1,285 49%

[Broderick]

22. I think this is going to shock all the pundits and polling firms

[Tx4obama]

23. The night is still young, a long way to still go. n/t

[vercetti2021]

25. Could be

A repug victory tonight. Ugh why does anyone think that they can do better?

[Broderick]

27. Staying positive here

[Tx4obama]

28. It's still early. Majority of votes still not yet reported. n/t

[Tx4obama]

29. Here's a link that shows the NEVADA results by COUNTY

http://www.silverstateelection.com/County.aspx#AllResults

Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

[Tx4obama]

30. Weprin now ahead in Queens. n/t

[Broderick]

31. Been confident for awhile

Even more confident now

[Tx4obama]

32. Unbelievable!

Some political bloggers on Twitter are calling it for Turner.

Not even half the precincts have reported yet !!!

It is NOT over yet!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

33. The Brooklyn numbers are brutal

If the election hinges on them, it's over.

[Broderick]

34. No kidding

[Tx4obama]

35. TPM has the wrong numbers up for NEVADA

they are showing 323,328 votes for Amodei (R)
it should say: 32,328

[scheming daemons]

36. Less than a 600 vote difference with about 45% of the vote in

WAY too close to call.

[Tx4obama]

37. I agree :) n/t

[hlthe2b]

38. I see some remain optimistic for NY-09, but I'm quite concerned...

damn... It is hard enough to lose an outspoken progressive Dem like Wiener, but to lose this seat?

Not over by any means and fingers are tightly crossed. :shrug:

[Broderick]

39. Can't wait to hear all the heads explode!

When Weprin wins!!!

[hlthe2b]

41. well, mine won't explode but you'll hear a very loud sigh of relief...

I appreciate your positivity. ;)

[Tx4obama]

43. But what's up with Brooklyn?

Are there more republicans than democrats there?

[Abq_Sarah]

66. Not by a long shot

People are pissed. And when they're pissed off, they want to punish someone and they tend to do things that may cause them harm in the long run for the sheer joy of "sticking it" to the people who pissed them off. We already saw that in 2010.

[Ter]

44. You have posted several times stating Weprin will pull this out

I pray you are right, and I will be the first to congratulate you if you are. However, what if you are wrong? :(

[Broderick]

49. The eternal optimist. Don't like the last round of updates though.

:-(

[joshcryer]

56. That would be pretty awesome if it happens.

Not holding out much hope though.

[Yupster]

42. Need someone who knows the district

to tell us whether Brooklyn will stay so bad or is it just which precincts are reporting?

Anyone?

Also who had the better absentee effort?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

45. I've been reading the Daily News lately

Brooklyn is where the heavy Orthodox Jewish vote is, and where the GOP believes they have swung the election.

That creep Ed Koch backs the Rethug.

[vercetti2021]

46. Yeah...

I think this house seat is lost. Figures people pick failure again.

[Broderick]

51. Creep with his fingers all over everything

[Ter]

50. Turner up by 6% with 56% reporting

I can't see how we pull this out. :(

[Tx4obama]

52. It's still early. n/t

[Ter]

58. I don't know if it is still early or not now

64% reporting now, with the same 6 point lead for Turner. If he is still 6 point ahead by the time 75% report, it's over.

[Broderick]

53. It was within 600 votes mere moments ago and then bam.

Getting a bit worried he doesn't have a bigger queens lead. He was pulling away there and then it was all of a sudden 50-50.

[Recovered Repug]

54. AP is calling NY for Turner. nt

[Tx4obama]

55. The AP has called it for Turner. 'F' them. It is NOT over yet.

I think the news folks should wait until at least 75% of the precincts are in !!!

[Mr Gerrity]

57. Turner wins

It appears that the AP has declared Turner the winner. Uggh :banghead:

[vercetti2021]

59. Turner won

Oh well. People stick with the failure. Maybe this will tell dems to stop running weak candidates.

[Tx4obama]

61. Turner has NOT won yet. The votes are not all counted yet. n/t

[SnakeEyes]

64. With these kind of numbers...

Going with statistics gurus isn't far fetched.

[Broderick]

60. AP calls it so soon. Think I am gonna be sick.

Stolen by Koch and his goons most likely.

[Recovered Repug]

62. AP is calling NV for Amodei. nt.

[joshcryer]

63. Why is AP calling it so quick? Are there outstanding districts that lean the other way or something?

This is weird.

[TheWraith]

65. Most of Queens is already in, but only half of Brooklyn.

Weprin narrowly won Queens, 52/48, but he lost Brooklyn 70/30. So any chance he had of mustering enough votes to come back is pretty much gone.

[joshcryer]

67. Thanks, explains it.

Shame.

[Zax2me]

70. Uh, it's over. And wasn't even close. Stop the hand wringing.

We got our ass kicked.

[KOfan]

68. Weprin is an idiot!

Who sent this idiot to be elected? And the sh^t eating wingnuts are gonna be all over the networks cheering. How can you f*vk up this district? Come on DNC get your act together now!

[Zax2me]

69. Boy. The people spoke LOUDLY> What a beating.

2012 is going to suck!
