Pollard has taken the lead!!!!!!

6 precincts in Stafford still not in though.

Now Stuart's winning..and he's 1,000 votes up with only a handful of precincts left...

HOPE!!!

all that's left is 2 precincts PWC and 4 in Northumberland, which Pollard's doing well in.

I have no idea.

it is 1,000. I don't know if Pollard can make that up.

I have Stuart up by 1,000 votes on my compy

NLS calls it for Stuart.

could JMDD get skunked, despite Tom's hundreds of thousands?

and anyone think he might still run again?

I'm thinking of sending JMDD a big, blue bowtie.

And two widdle ones for the doggies.

Guess the vaunted "Davis Machine" just ain't what it used to be.

John C. Miller: 51.01%
Patricia B. "Tricia" Stall: 48.63%

100% of Precincts Reporting

Northam: 16,944
Rerras: 14,243

56 of 58 (96.55%) Precincts Reporting

It's impossible for Northam to lose with 2 precincts left and this kind of lead.

We'll miss Doc Welch...

The only question now is whether we get a fourth.

Oleszek/Cuccinelli and Barker/O'Brian will decide this thing.

Schulz is down 1,810 votes but 0 of 18 Loudoun County precincts are in.  Every other precinct in the district is in.

no movement on the vogel / schultz numbers in almost an hour?

Is something afoot?

what is out is 18 precincts in W Loudoun - unlikely to make up difference, may widen it

the weak race run by Martinez probably did not help

14 of 39 precincts in, and she's running well ahead of 2003 in all but one.

but don't know the county (s) that well to know what has to come in yet.

There are more votes in Farifax and the PW County part is almost in. If Barker can hold onto the Fairfax County part of the district then he will win.

but I don't know anything about the precinct breakdown.

In the 21 precincts that have come in before, Cuccinelli got 54.0% in 2003, so he's running 3.75% behind that this time--if he keeps that pace, Oleszek will pull it out.

37 and 39 could take it anywhere from 20 to 22.

Which really just leaves 20, 21, and 22, I suppose.

It will be even sweeter if Janet and George win, too.  Love the Dems in Sully, especially.  Sully Dems have worked very, very hard, especially since 2004.  All the hard work is paying off.  Love that Janet exceeded expectations in Londontown West.

Still very close!

Paul F. Nichols (D): 3,866 (50.84%)
Faisal M. Gill (R): 3,708 (48.76%)

Precincts Reporting: 10 of 16 (62.5%)

For the night... + 4 (so 7 seat minority?)

Vanderhye/Hunt (HD-34) is too close to call with only 7 of 19 (36.84%) precincts reporting.

HD-51 is also too close to call.

Albo 63%

Write In 37%

and won it.

We didn't get an opponent for Albo!  I could spit.

JMDD won Oakton, so she won't get shut out.

She lost Stenwood by 3 votes, and Sunrise Valley by 1 (and there was one write-in).

It's over!

CHAP'S VICTORY IS OFFICIAL!!!

woooOOOOO!!!

Cuccinelli seems to be maintaining his strength in the more Republican precincts. Going to be a very close call.

Cuccinelli up by 105 votes. He won the same 27 precincts by 1,807 in 2003, so he's lost 1,702 votes versus 2003--Oleszek only needs to pick up 402 more in the last 12 precincts to win.

He's up, with 61% in, 59% to 36%.

John Frey is up by 2% over Dale Evans (D).  Morrogh appears to have an easy win in the DA race, 56-44%.

Schnikes.

I just talked to someone in the campaign.  Looks like there will be a recount, if it is that close.

last precinct?

10 precincts to go.  I am confused here...

7 precincts to go, and Cuckoo has a 4 vote lead.

Just wondering because the SBE site is apparently lagging behind wherever you're getting you're numbers.

This is still a tough Republican district.  The GOP candidate, Cadin, ran a close-mouthed campaign (having learned, perhaps, from the Craddock debacle, to keep his mouth shut).

and I'm wondering how/if it's going to affect the election.  Look at the Fairfax County Supervisor's races in the Springfield and Providence Districts.  In Providence, the Democrat who's running unopposed has gotten 0 votes with two thirds of precincts reporting.  In Springfield, the Republican candidate has gotten 0 votes with 57% of the precincts reporting.  Are the voting machines, the unverifiable, no-paper-trail machines, in Fairfax just not counting votes for those candidates?  Obviously, the Smyth and Herrity campaigns aren't going to just let this slide . . . and if those races were counted wrong, what about the rest of the results we're all following so closely?

. . . is neck and neck, with key precincts for Liz yet to report.

Holding my breath.

Show her down by fourteen votes with a few precincts left to report.

But if Barker can stay at 52.8% in Fairfax, it should be in the bag.

Cuccinelli running ahead of 2003 in republican Dulles.

745-519.

She needs to gain 185 votes relative to 2003 in the last 7 precincts.

They have results from some precincts not reported on the state website--Cuccinelli is ahead by 100 votes with everything counted except Parkway and the absentees--Oleszek won Parkway by 31 votes according to the state site, so she'd need to win the absentees by 69.

Anyone know how many absentees there are?  In a district like this, lots of college students, etc., I could see there being a lot...

It's at least within the realm of possibility for her to win by 69.

If there were 902 absentees this time, she'd need 486 to win--that would be 53.88%. Mitchell got 50.88% of the absentees in 2003, so she'd have to run 3% ahead of 2003--right now she's 3.18% ahead of 2003 across the district.

So it is possible.

Lost in the hubbab about Pollard's defeat being the bitterest moment for Dems tonight...it was overlooked that Northumberland County is his home county....the results are coming in and he is nearly even with Stuart again. The last precing shound be interesting as well as the recount.
