1. This is more important than many know. Please, indeed. Keep us updated, MA DUers!

[gateley]

7. Not a peep on either MSNBC or CNN yet.

[elleng]

2. Updates,

were live a while ago.

4. Eek! I'm almost sorry I looked -- where are the people??

Granted, I just saw some pics, didn't bother going to the mobile app for "live" since it's only a few minutes away until the polls close.

Thanks for being on this AS ALWAYS, EllenG!

[elleng]

5. Don't know where are the people, gate.

Posted a while ago, haven't followed since then, and

[gateley]

3. Thank you! I just came by to see if anyone had posted any info. I'm hoping

MSNBC will have post election coverage.

This IS important and I'm surprised it didn't receive more coverage. Even more, I'm surprised they've predicted such a low turnout. That always alarms me because we know the RW whacks won't let a vote pass by without trying to get Anybody But A Democrat into office.

I'm eying the clock!

[graham4anything]

6. Yeah, it seems like repubs everywhere have a certain # voters, and the all vote

less votes helps repubs
more votes and dems win just about everywhere

[flamingdem]

8. shoot, is it even close

nooooo.

no coverage yet

[boston bean]

9. I did my duty

[freshwest]

13. Thank you! MA Dem also did. And I'm sure Sheshe will help keep us up to date, too.

I hadn't even realized that Markey would give us the 60 needed. We really need him!

[graham4anything]

Worcester is pronounced Woosta.

[graham4anything]

18. latest on Worcester (only 1 out of 50 counted), nothing on Boston yet.

17. Huffington post has an interactive live map - again keep refreshing..

and do remember rural counties with small populations which tend toward Republican usually report earlier on because they have fewer votes to count in each precinct - Urban centers which tend toward Democratic usually report a bit later - because they have considerably more votes to count per precinct - so don't panic.

Here is the Huffington post interactive map - remember to hit refresh every now and then

41. An 8%-10% win isn't bad for a special election with generally lower and hard-to-gauge turnout.

[bluestate10]

[malaise]

48. Congrats all

[freshwest]

50. Thanks, Massachusetts!

[Logical]

51. Great news! n-t

[longship]

52. Legally the election isn't called until it's certified.

That won't happen for a day or two, or more depending on absentees, etc.

When a candidate concedes, that's not binding. If Al Gore conceded in 2000 but the FL Secy of State certified FL for Al Gore, he would still have been elected president of the US in spite of his concession.

A concession means nothing. It's polite to do so, however.

[johnnyreb]

53. Excellent!! K&R

Thanks Massachussets. Here's to certification.
