MSNBC: Jon Tester has taken the lead, and appears to have secured reelection

With 99% of the vote in, Senator Tester has taken a 2,030 vote lead over Matt Rosendale.

Most of the remaining vote is reportedly from Democratic-leaning counties.

Go, Jon!

Trump was irked that Tester had called out Trump's unqualified VA nominee, who subsequently withdrew. Apparently more than a few Montanans saw through the bullshit.

McSilly is up by just a hair - and a million provisionals and absentees remain to be counted.

Barring any shenanigans (very possible, given Governor Douchey), they should put Sinema over the top.

Unlike 2006. I'm sure many here will remember 2006. We stayed up all night and sweated out Tester's late unlikely rally against Conrad Burns, the Simpsons guy.

Lengthy thread with nervous post after nervous post. Then joy early Wednesday when it finally looked good.

As a Miamian I would have stayed up for Tester last night if Gillum had won. That's my excuse and I don't apologize. I'm supposed to play golf tomorrow but have already canceled. No energy.
