Asking about what had just reported and what was left. Guess you just want to post numbers with no context and post snark when politely asked

is a 95 vote lead for Lamb.

The thought is that the absentee ballots will break a few points towards Lamb but no guarantees.

We've had two local elections decided by a single vote in the past 4 years. The Democratic candidate won both times. So even 95 votes will be okay with me. I think it not only holds, but grows.

Recommended. This is exciting.

but the absentee ballots should keep Lamb above water, I think. (By which I mean I hope )

Now they're saying it on MSNBC though -- Allegheny absentee ballots have been counted. Absentee ballots from Westmoreland and Washington are still out, though. I think something like 2500? That would mean that Saccone would have to win more than 65% of those ballots, which seems unlikely, but who knows.

and 3500 are in Alleghany. Now, there are 2 precincts left in Westmoreland, could be that Saccone will have a lead after all election day votes counted.

which were generally in the low to mid 60s, so while certainly possible that he could hit 64% of the absentees it looks like a bit of a long shot at this point.

That said, though, there are apparently still two precincts outstanding in Westmoreland, so Saccone will make up some votes there as well.

his election day vote in the absentee count in the Pub counties by about 5 points. It's possible.
