MS-01 Results Thread #2

Results for the Mississippi First District special election, filling the seat of Senator Roger Wicker.

79% of Precincts Reporting

Travis W. Childers (D):        51% (42029)
Greg Davis (R):                    49% (40275)

We're near 60% in now. DeSoto (aka DavisLand) keeps trickling in, 21 of 38 precincts now, and still no word from Childers' base of Prentiss (where he got 85% last time). Childers continues to overperform his previous performance in most counties, including DeSoto, which bodes well.

Update #1: 27 of 38 DeSoto precincts in. Childers leads by about 1,800 votes. Still nothing from Prentiss, where he won by 3500 votes last time.

Update #2: 72% of the results are now in; there are 11 DeSoto precincts left, and all 15 of Prentiss' precints. Can Davis' base close a near 3500-vote gap, and cancel out Childers' base?

Update #3 36 of 38 DeSoto precincts are in...and Childers is still up by 700 votes. Better yet, Prentiss County has yet to report at all.

I'd wager a bottle of Hendrick's gin that we've won.

Update #4: New thread! New thread!
