We won't know till morning. But...

... if the absentee ballots in the three counties that went for Sarconne fall in the same percentages, Lamb will win by 147 votes!!! (John King on CNN)

Does anyone know what to expect from absentee ballots?

No surprise on "non partisan" message boards I'm reading people laughing "Democrat fraud theories". Fucking assholes.

The NY Times doesn't have any precinct votes showing for Westmoreland County, but they are able to report the aggregate count somehow. I'm guessing Greensburg, the county seat, has the aggregate. I supervise elections in my little part of Allegheny County, in the district next to Lamb's.
