it means Herring is only behind by 178 votes! and with absentee ballots still being counted....Herring could very well pull this out....

(10,500 posts)7. That means that we can take 610 votes away from an 820 vote margin, and we are only behind by 210
votes. And in the remaining 5 precincts Obama beat Romney 6456 to 5000. I think we've got this one.
