Wow, already need a new one of these. I suspect I'll have to be cranking out a new thread every 15 minutes.
So just a trickling of results coming in thus far, so nothing much to report on that front. If you want to know how bad the night will be, keep an eye on Ben Chandler in KY-06. He's a "lean Dem". If he holds on to win, we'll be looking at a rough night, but not catastrophic. If he loses, get ready for the cataclysm. Also look out for Joe Donnelly in IN-02. He's a tossup.
I'm using SSP race ratings. Also, check out their neat election night map, organized by closing times.
Update 1: Election Protection e-mails an update from Chicago:
Earlier today, voters in Chicago precincts reported receiving misinformation from poll workers about casting provisional ballots. It was reported that Election judges were not properly trained on the voting process for individuals placed on the suspended voting list and therefore instructed poll workers to give these voters provisional ballots. In fact, under Chicago Election law, suspended voters are entitled to cast a regular ballot if able to provide two valid forms of identification. After receiving calls from legal experts on the ground in Chicago, Election Protection notified the proper election officials who followed up with the appropriate polling places to rectify the problem. Election Protection’s legal team in Chicago will continue monitoring these areas until the polls close at 7pm CST.
That hotline for problems is 1-866-OUR-VOTE. (Joan)
Update 2: If you're following the IN-02 results (Donnelly (D) down 60-35 with 3.6% reporting), don't panic yet -- the last counties to report are the lake counties, and those are where all the Democratic votes live.
