The remaining two precincts and the remaining absentees all lean R. No source on that, except it's all over twitter with screen shots.

If the absentee percentages follow the current trends, it would be +384 for Saccone, meaning Lamb up by 463.

HOWEVER! There are still two precincts left in Westmoreland to report. They are busy finding ~400 extra votes right now.

Even if Saccone gets 60% of the 3206 absentee ballots, he still loses by around 200 votes.

Assuming these ballots break down like the live vote, looks like Saccone will end up pulling this out.
I figure +116 in Greene, +583 in Wash and +1026 in Westmoreland. That gives Saccone probably a 900 vote win.

ETA: Arithmetic not my strong suit.

It's a prediction.

The only time predictions stop being fuzzy is when things are deterministic or after the fact.

That'd be Greene+84, Wash+66, Westmoreland+252, total +392, not enough.

If Lamb takes say .38 of them that’s 1218 plus his current lead of 875=2093.
Saccone takes .62=1988.

I think. I suck at math!
