Swing State Project: Today's Elections

[Coexist]

A thread has been started at SSP about the Elections today.


The 8 states with elections today are (from Swing State):

Alabama - Primary
California - Primary / Special Election CD 50
Iowa - Primary
Mississippi - Primary
Montana - Primary
New Jersey - Primary / Special Primary CD 13
New Mexico - Primary
South Dakota - Primary

Blue Jersey is covering things nicely for all those interested in the Jersey special election.

Iowa and South Dakota are being covered at North Central Observer.

Kos has a good diary up about all of the races today if you are interested.

Busby live results will be posted at Mercury News beginning at 8:00 p.m. Things are close in this race - and it would be a HUGE victory in such a red area, but the immigration issue may bring out more concerned Republicans than Democrats.

Good luck everybody!

California and Montana Predictions Open Thread
Posted by James L.
Polls close in under a half hour in these two states Montana, so take a breath and hit me with your best shot. Of course, like Stoller, I'm not going to make any predictions (though I do have a few things rumbling around in my gut besides the stuffed peppers I'm digesting). I don't want to slant your guesses, but the NRCC is sounding pretty confident, according to the Hotline:

NRCC Chair Tom Reynolds (NY) said earlier today that, based on an analysis of absentee returns in CA 50, ex-Rep. Brian Bilbray (R) held about a 10K vote lead. Reynolds added, however, that he wouldn’t make any predictions at this early stage.

Hmm, okay, how about this: given everything else going on, I don't care what happens in New Mexico tonight. But if anyone's dying to discuss who the GOP nominee to take on Sen. Bingaman is this year, feel free to liveblog that baby in the comments. Anyway...

The polls are closed in these three states and results are trickling in.

AL-GOV: 4.38% Precincts Reporting (Note: A candidate needs 50%+1 in order to avert a run-off):


Lucy Baxley (D): 17,075 (54.27) 44,761 (58.16)
Siegelman, Don (D) 13,757 (43.72) 30,031 (39.02)

Okay, Baxley's starting to put this thing away. Thank God.

Bob Riley (R-inc): 28,408 (69.23) 59,973 (68.19)
Roy Moore (R): 12,624 (30.77) 27,971 (31.81)

MS-02: 5.26% 23.48% Precincts Reporting :

Thompson, Bennie (D-Inc): 2,893 (76.64) 16,340 (65.98)
Chuck Espy (D): 864 (22.89) 8,261 (33.36)

NJ-13 Special Primary, 25.28% 65.15% Precincts Reporting :

Albio Sires (D): 3,661 (56.33) 12,684 (67.46)
Joseph Vas (D): 2,838 (43.67) 6,117 (32.54)

Vas looked surprisingly strong early on, but they're calling it for Sires, the Corzine-endorsed machine candidate.

I'll post updates when the picture changes.
