MSNBC declares CONOR LAMB to be "apparent winner"

[pnwmom]

with his current election day and absentee vote lead increased to 641 votes.

So Lamb has widened his lead with the counting of absentees, and there don't appear to be enough outstanding votes for Saccone to overcome Lamb's lead.

1. So if we did our job on the ground

we should win the absentees

[jimlup]

2. Like your avatar!

I've climbed it twice!

[DownriverDem]

3. My concern

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm concerned about the absentee votes for the other counties.

[LBM20]

4. I'm concerned about your concern. Only 200 left. Not enough to change the result.

[BumRushDaShow]

5. There are only 4 counties in the district

and the absentee votes from 3 of them were counted. The last set are coming from the most rural county (Greene) with something like 200 absentees outstanding.

6. K&R

8. Good win for the Dems! Sadly, many here wouldn't have supported a "moderate" candidate.

Even though he was exactly the right person for that District. But he said he wouldn't support Pelosi for leader; taking away a whole slew of opposition ads. He also didnt focus on trumps idiocy. he KNEW he needed trump voters & it worked! He focused on local issues and it worked.

GOP should be very scared of a legion of "Lambs" in the fall

12. I was one who had/have an issue with his moderate stance... esp on Nancy P...

..I even had a discussion with someone calling for a donation for him. I asked why he was down on NP and the person said that Lamb needs to campaign to win his district. I wasnt and still am not happy with that esp now on MJoe he said hes anti Nancy simply because he feels she needs to be replaced because....??? why? Shes too old? why?? he hasnt given the right answer yet.

Im so glad he won but I will cont to challenge him on something that effects MY America... he can mess around with stuff in his own district.....but on a National level hes gotta have a better answer than he gave.

9. Cause for celebration... and a LOT of hard work

This is exactly what our country needs. Now, more than ever before!

But the RepubliCONs will not go down without a fight. They will use every dirty trick to hold onto the congressional and gubernatorial seats they have (OK, the smart ones will "retire" and perhaps find honest work or spend more time with their families). Their response to the Blue Tsunami will be an avalanche of campaign mud- and shit-slinging like we've never seen before. They will throw more dirty money into campaign coffers than what we saw in 2016.

Right now, the GOTP state and county/parish election supervisors are even more determined to disenfranchise Democratic voters or make it much harder for us to cast ballots:
- Eliminating or drastically curtailing early voting dates;
- Consolidating precinct polling places to Dems' disadvantage;
- Demanding proof of voter registration (beyond government-issued ID) at the polls;
- Ignoring warnings about the security of electronic records and vote tabulations;
to name a few.

Let's roll up our sleeves. And Get Out The Vote!

10. im west coast so was able to stay up to see the results...but...

...when it was 1000 votes between them I turned it off. I hate nail biters and EVEN THO I should have learned because of the Doug Jones win that there IS A BLUE WAVE... I turned the tv off. Checked my phone at 3 am and saw Lamb won. smiled....fell back to sleep.

11. Love it!!

But heard he has to run again in 8 months so it sounds like the work is just starting

[Puzzler]

13. Translation:

(NOT of your message, but the results)

- “The Lamb won by a large enough margin to negate the GOP shenanigans”


I suspect Lamb’s real margin is/was far higher!


Regardless, great news
