ATM overall it's almost 60/40 LAMB ... mostly Allegheny reporting so far (43% of population, with 10% vote in ... 62-38 LAMB)

Greene is only 2% of the population but it's rural and with 18% of it's vote in ... is 54/44 SACCONE.

We've got no Westmoreland (33% pop) or Washington (22%) reporting yet, however. Expect those to go more Saccone's way.

Looking good so far ladies and gents!!!

Lambs ahead of the benchmarks in every county save Westmoreland since we've no results from there. He's supposed to be down by -6% in Washington instead he's up by almost 8%. In Allegheny he's expected up by +6% but he's up 19%.

And he's not down in Greene as much as expected either though thats 2% of pop and very rural, so ...

And Nate said if he hits those benchmarks he should win.

Needs to be behind in Washington county by <=6% and he's only down .5.

Need to be down by <=13% in Westmoreland and he's down 12.3%

Needs to be up by >=14% in Allegheny and he's up 15.3%

Green not enough to matter but he's beating that bench too.

Westmoreland is not reporting by precinct so their model doesn't have input data.

Are taking a coffee break, you see.

Or are is this when the Russians gather up the numbers so far and figure out how much they need to tweak the remainder to make sure Saccone gets the win ... Dun-dun-DUUUUUUUUNNNN!!!

Need him to not lose by 13% and he's now down 13.8.

BUT his Allegheny margin is higher than needed at +16.1 vs +14
