Since she's at large, all our precincts are belong to Kim.


(nerd alert!)

Daniels is an at large seat.  The strong Dem turnout will help her in that there are two Republicans on her ticket.  Anna Brosche is of course the best choice but not nearly enough voters know the candidates well.  For those voting because of an R behind the name, Taylor may get many more votes than he deserves.  This at large dist 1 race has me concerned.

The saving grace at At-Large 1 is Terry Reed, Democrat.  Could take the race to a runoff.

Daniels will certainly benefit from a high Democratic turnout. A rising tide lifts all ships, and all that.

The saving grace at At-Large 1 is Terry Reed, Democrat.  Could take the race to a runoff. 

I hope so.  Anna in a run off beats all other candidates.

[Cheshire Cat]

At 11Am Dems had a 3,350 vote lead. By 2PM, that has dropped 614 votes to 2,736 vote leads

I am sure Alvin Browns camp are doing the "happy dance" with this news.

This is a great! I was wondering about the turnout and this thread helps me.

Another district race getting a lot of voter action right now is District 7.  That ballot currently carries 8 candidates.  One might wonder at all the interest.  Some of the candidates are on this ballot because they want to see Springfield thrive and community to do well.  Others on this ballot have another overriding focus and this explains the presence of Reggie Gaffney on the ticket as well as George Spencer who garnered the support of Corrine Brown,  took a plane trip to DC and also they both donated to each others campaigns.  Why old port guy Gaffney who is presently under investigation for Medicaid fraud and the polished new, un politically tested attorney named Spencer who Corrine supports?  It has to do with district 7 also being the home of the shipyards which is now the focus of Shad Khan and a major development.  Cha ching and contracts galore for business in contracting as well as the potential increased and growing tax base due to the port and the restoration efforts in Springfield. There is the current sentiment that if Alvin Brown is re-elected Khan will one way or another end up getting the Shipyards land.

Looking at this chart, I would say that the possibility of Brown winning the election tonight has gone down to one in eight

Can you elaborate ?

Someone today, on a thread posted the link directly to SOE page showing updates every 15 minutes.  Can you repost that, as I can't find it now.  Thanks!

[Cheshire Cat]

Stephen where are you getting the numbers that break down the republican vote to 60% Curry 40% Bishop for the votes already cast?  IMO Alvin does not win outright today.  He isn't going to come away with 50 + 1 of all votes cast and he has lot a lot of Dem support since the last election and almost all that he had from the republicans.  The other (unknowns) are difficult to forecast I don't know that there is an accurate measure of their intention for that.

Okay, just trying to follow your thinking.  lol  So many numbers. 

[Cheshire Cat]

Just 3 1/2 hours left to vote.  Don't dilly dally!   Get to the polls! 

[thelakelander]

A co-worker just asked if it is possible to vote without going to their designated precinct. Is this possible?

Evidently, they'd like to vote but the job is requiring to send them in the opposite direction of where they live.
