Results: CO (AP) | NY (AP) | NY (WNYC)
9:01 PM PT (David Jarman): BDB continues to gain ever so slowly in the NYC mayoral primary, past the runoff-free 40% mark: he's currently at 40.2% with 96% reporting. Harry Enten has a helpful breakdown of where the precincts are still outstanding: 18 in Brooklyn, 51 in Manhattan, 125 in the Bronx, 4 in Queens, and 3 on Staten Island.
9:01 PM PT (Darth Jeff): Wow, in 2006 who could have imagined that someday Tom Suozzi would be having a much better night than Eliot Spitzer?
9:03 PM PT (David Jarman): One more update from the recall election in Pueblo's SD-3; with 23K votes counted, things aren't improving: "YES" is now leading 59-41.
9:04 PM PT (Darth Jeff): Toledo is completely in and we'll have an Independent versus Independent race in November.
9:06 PM PT (David Jarman): Final count in the Colorado Springs race: John Morse just misses keeping his job, by 343 votes. 50.96%-49.04%.
9:28 PM PT (Darth Jeff): 135 precincts and who knows how many paper ballots are left, and de Blasio maintains his narrow edge over the runoff line at 40.20 percent.
9:31 PM PT (Darth Jeff): It looks like we won't know for sure if de Blasio get's 40 percent tonight regardless: the Board of Elections will do a recount to see if he hits the magic number or not.
9:32 PM PT (David Jarman): We've got a recount in New York City! (Meaning you can go to bed, unless you're waiting for SD-3 to be finalized.) The New York BoE will do a recount to see whether or not Bill de Blasio cleared 40%. Factoring in paper and absentee ballots, it sounds like we won't know until Monday whether there will be a runoff or not.
9:39 PM PT (Darth Jeff): It looks like we'll have Charles Haynes to kick around some more: he won the Republican nomination for Brooklyn DA unopposed as he was losing the Democratic one tonight. Haynes appears to be on track to be the borough's first DA to lose reelection since 1911 and the first DA of any of the five boroughs to fall since 1955.
9:49 PM PT (Darth Jeff): The AP calls Giron's defeat. Despite tonight's setbacks, the Democrats keep control of the Colorado Senate, though with a smaller 18 to 17 majority.
9:58 PM PT (Darth Jeff): It's worth noting that while Hynes has the GOP line for November, he's done actively campaigning.
10:01 PM PT (Darth Jeff): If tonight has a theme, it's revenge of the defeated. Melinda Katz lost to Weiner in 1998 but won tonight. Tom Suozzi lost badly to Spitzer in 2006's Gubernatorial primary but is the one who will make it to November. And Quinn beat de Blasio in their 2005 battle for Speaker...
10:16 PM PT (Darth Jeff): Precincts are coming in very slowly and de Blasio remains at 40.21 percent, with about 120 left, plenty of hand ballots, and an automatic recount. Since the question of whether or not there will be an October 1st runoff will not be answered tonight, we here at Daily Kos Elections are turning in. Thanks for hanging out with us!
