MyDD is reporting that Ned Lamont made the ballot - with 33 percent of delegates casting their votes for him. The final count: 492 out of 1,502 went to Lamont (currently, any changes are being asked for, so this count could change slightly). Lamont only needed 15 percent to avoid the need to collect signatures - he got more than twice needed.
As Matt says:
Ned Lamont is CRUSHING Joe Lieberman. Lieberman's expensive tent and lavish support and paid armies of staffers weren't enough. His side is incredibly dejected - their crowd of thunderstick cheerers, who cheered whenever a town went lopsided for Joe, have disbanded and are chatting. The Lieberman supporters aren't even dejected, they are bored.
Lieberman has $5 million of a smear and slime campaign coming. This is a big win. Time to saddle up.
Update: From MyDD:
1509 votes count
Ned Lamont - 505 (33.4%)
Joe Lieberman - 1004 (66.5%)
