Awesome! I'm excited! Thanks Pubby:)

What about the party questions? Will you have vote counts on those?

[Lady Raider]

[Glassdogs]

Hey, Pubs....not that it matters much, but there's a typo in D-19. You have Mr. James' name and middle name transposed.

[Wineguy]

WOOHOO!!!!!!, I will have my eyes glued here all night.

[PUBBY]

it is 7:44 or so and they've gone through and machine counted all but about 44 absentee ballots that for one reason or another, were not capable of being counted by machine. The result is that they remarked the ballots on fresh ballots and they are waiting to complete that operation before conducting the final count.

At present there are the poll workers, Jon Gargis, Roger Leggett and Paulette Braddock sitting here talking with the county attorney Jason Phillips but no results have been released.

Will all precincts be reported at once or will we get trickled in results?

Anybody know if the early voting ballots are reported as part of the precinct the person would normally voted in or are they lumped together in a early voting precinct?

I don't know about early ballots, but everyone that has ever worked at a poll knows that the electronic results are known at about 7:15pm at which time they are posted on the door of the precinct so that everyone can see - so it's 8:30 now...what gives? when is Paulette going to let us see the results?

No, the folks who do that are from the elections office.

We got the local results as quickly as we could. All that is in so far is the absentee ballots.

We'll have more results as the night progresses.

In the D31 race, AJC shows only 3% reporting with Carruth on top...so different numbers.

these are the absentee ballots. I would have expected Ms. Braddock to do well in this round of early voting ... although the early voting records are not included yet ... these are the mail in votes.

Seems to me there is a mistake in the commission chairman results. The county website says more like 56% to 45%.

I think if one candidate does not get 50% + 1 of the votes then there will be a run-off between the top two.

As of now there are only 3 regions saying yes. The numbers in those regions are almost 50/50 splits though. Looks like it will die.

WOOT!

The only regions I care about are 1 and 3. The others will not effect me hardly at all.

The way I read this Paulette has won with 59.44% of the vote with 100% precincts reported?
I am not a fan of hers but if that is the case all the mud slung in her direction the last few weeks was in vain.

What about the BOE and Kim' race? Any news on it?

[PUBBY]

We just posted the early voting totals ... which combined with the absentee (mail in votes) are what have been processed at the elections office so far.

Sam Clark just walked in and was happy to see that his lead over Jeff Eberhardt was greater than David Austin's lead over Tony Crowe.

That is not the way to read it. We have two of sixteen precincts reporting.

The total vote in in the county is something over 17000 votes suggesting that with about seven thousand cast so far, we're about 10,000 votes shy of the total number to be counted in this election.

Kim has no opposition so she is the winner.
