9:39 PM PT: 45% counted now, and Hochul's lead stays steady at 48-42. Don't count any chickens, but things are starting to look tough for Jane Corwin.
9:44 PM PT: Based purely on the two-party vote (that is, excluding Davis and Murphy), Hochul appears to be doing about 5% better than Barack Obama did.
9:45 PM PT: 55% reporting and Corwin ticks up just a tiny bit, but Hochul still leads 48-43. Davis is all the way back at 8%.
9:49 PM PT: The county websites are reporting a bit quicker than AP. A manual canvass has Hochul still up 48-43 with 63% in. (The AP is at about 55% in.) Gonna be real hard for the GOP to spin this as "Jack Davis spoiler" if Hochul's lead holds up, with her so close to 50.
9:53 PM PT: Our latest canvass still has Hochul up six with 68% in. (AP's behind at 61% and a five-point lead.)
9:56 PM PT: Some Hochul-friendly precincts came in, nudging her up to 49-42 with 71% of the vote reporting.
10:02 PM PT (James L): Let's continue the party over in our new thread.
