Great job to all my friends at Raising Kaine. The mainstream media may not want to admit the part you played in this election, but I for sure know you were instrumental in getting the facts out and stopping Allen's slime in its tracks! Kudos to all, and especially to what is certianly looking like Sen-elect Jim Webb!
Now lets go and win this recount thing!
Now we watch our backsides for the real dirty tricks.......
Agreed on the kudos for Raising Kaine. You created a community where none had existed and made us all feel a part of something bigger than our individual efforts. As I told Lowell a month ago, I don't think Webb could have done it without Raising Kaine.
LOUDOUN COUNTY - details i precint tiny for webb
JAMES CITY COUNTY - details 2 precints, big for allen
ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY - details 1 precinct, for allen
HALIFAX COUNTY - details 1 precinct allen leads
allen will gain 500 to 1000 votes from the missing precincts, and will have to make up 7000 votes on the recount.
This is great news!!!!! Congratulations to all who worked hard on this campaign, and congrats to all who voted.
My guess is that Webb's margin will stay the same or slightly increase. There probably are a lot more absentee ballots in Loudoun and Fairfax City than in the other locales.
but remember - there is no autmoatic recount - there is a provision for judicial oversight. I was with Creigh Deeds last Thusrday when he was epxlaining this to Micahel Shear of the Post over the phone
Webb leads Allen by 6,859 votes as of 9:01 with 99.80% votes counted.
Allen could pick up about another 377 to 497 votes once the remaining non-reporting precincts report in.
The remaining non-reporting precincts are:
Halifax County (21,225 Registered voters with 47% turnout).
One precinct (Absentee C005) not reported. There were 242 absentee voters in Halifax in Nov. 2005 (last year)(see Excel spreadsheet downloaded from Va State Board of Elections). The 21 precincts reporting favored Allen by 58.87% to Webb 39.84% (difference 19.03%). Allen could pick up 46 votes assuming 242 absentee voters favoring Allen by 19.03%.
Isle of Wright County (22,861 registered voters with 53.35% turnout).
One precinct (Raynor 0505) not reported. The Nov. 2005 (last year) results for the 378 Ranyor registered voters went for Kilgore 93 to 76 for Kaine. (8% difference) The 12 precincts reporting favored Allen by 57.26% to Webb 41.40% (difference 15.86%). Allen could pick up 30 to 60 votes assuming 378 absentee voters voting in favor of Allen by 8% to 15.86%.
James City County: (42,978 Registered Voters with 46.24% turnout)
Five precincts (Two absentee precincts C001, C003, Berkeley C, Stonehouse B, Roberts B) have not yet reported. (There is an ambiguity in that the Summary Results for all Virginia results shows only 2 precincts in James City County not reporting while the Summary Results for James City County show 4 precincts not reporting -- absentees appear to be counted as one precinct. In the James City Vote Totals, there are two absentee precincts and Roberts B is reported twice - once showing vote results and once showing not yet reported.). Total votes for James City County reported on Summary Results for all of Virginia and 19,875 total votes reported on Summary Results for James City County. ) The Nov. 2005 (last year) results for the non reporting precincts are: 1072 Absentee votes of which 505 were for Kilgore and 470 were for Kaine (3.6% difference); Berkeley C has 2,724 registered voters of which 712 were for Kilgore and 616 were for Kaine (7.25% difference); Stonehouse B has 4363 registered voters of which 1082 voted for Kilgore and 918 voted for Kaine (8.2% difference); Roberts B has 2293 registered voters of which 672 voted for Kilgore and 533 voted for Kaine (11.5% difference). Estimated votes in three non-reporting precincts are 6,472 (based on 9380 registered voters and a 69% turnout and assuming that Roberts B is not counted. If Roberts B is taken out then estimated votes is 4890). Combining the 6,472 votes with the 1072 absentees (same from last year) yields 4534 votes not yet counted (5962 votes if Roberts B is not included). The 11 precincts reporting favored Allen by 52.32% to Webb 46.66% (5.66% difference)(this is from the Summary Results James City County). Allen could pick up between 337 to 427 votes assuming a difference of 5.66%.
Loudoun County (152,804 registered voters with 50% turnout).
One precinct (Absentee C010) not reported. In Nov. 2005 (last year), Loundon had 2690 absentee votes with 1203 for Kilgore and 1385 for Kaine. The 57 reported precincts favored Webb by 50.04% to Allen 48.69% (difference 1.35%). Webb could pick up 36 votes assuming 2690 absentee voters favoring Webb by 1.35%.
0900 this morning.
Event last night was amazing. I was sitting in the bar about 12:00 midnight when people were watching a laptop. Suddenly everyone went crazy when the election shifted to Webb. Everyone went running back into the ballroom ecstatic.
Lowell and you bloggers. You all rock. Keep on Crashing the Gate. I'm so glad I've gotten to meet so many wonderful people on this campaign. I think once Webb is declared the winner we should have a VICTORY PARTY again and again and again. Will try and post some pictures.
