if that trend were to hold then Lamb would win the absentees in Allegheny by more than he won it in the vote tonight.

Lamb is up 579, so Saccone would have to get like 90-95% of the remaining absentee vote and he’s not likely to get 60%!!! Whether a recount is triggered is another matter.

He has a 755 vote lead.

He probably wins tonight by a few hundred and then picks up another 500 in absentee. Lamb needs about 1650 more vote to win tonight.
