Holy mackerel. The NJ 3rd District was sitting with 1% of the precincts still out until this afternoon. That didn't mean 1% of the votes, it just meant they hadn't counted the mail-ins in Burlington County yet. Andy Kim went from being down to that (I'll be polite and delete the word I had originally put here) Tom MacArthur by 2,000 votes to being 3,000 votes in the lead! That means that just one of NJ's 12 congressional districts remain in Republican hands. That's Chris Smith who has held the seat since the Abscam scandal took out the guy who had it before him. This was a seriously republican district full of retirement communities, ultra-conservative orthodox Jews, military bases and some redneck areas of the Pinelands. 4 flipped seats in the state. Wow!
