Way too early to report results yet, given that none of the races we are watching are even to 5 percent of precincts reporting. As a matter of course, we rarely report early results, because they are wholly dependent on WHICH counties are chiming in.
Given that we are still looking at a smattering of returns in Indiana and Kentucky, this is extremely sage advice:
Now's a good time to use the bathroom/ take a quick walk/ grab a snack. We're going to get a lot of early voting numbers out of Florida around 7 ET, and lots of other states close then too.— Daily Kos Elections (@DKElections) November 6, 2018
Now's a good time to use the bathroom/ take a quick walk/ grab a snack. We're going to get a lot of early voting numbers out of Florida around 7 ET, and lots of other states close then too.
KY-06: We’re still dealing primarily with early votes, and only some counties have reported their votes, but the early returns here portend what everyone expected: a very close race. With a little more than 18,000 votes tallied, Andy Barr has a lead of 12. Votes.
It is now 7:00 PM Eastern and 4:00 pm Pacific. Polls are now closed in Florida (ET), Indiana (CT), Kentucky (CT), Georgia, New Hampshire (most towns), South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia.
VA-Sen and VT-Sen: No surprises here, but NBC calls these two Senate races for Democrats Tim Kaine and Bernie Sanders.
Two of the first notable calls of the night, via NBC, are for Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine (VA) and independent Sen. Bernie Sanders (VT), though both of these were races that Republicans had no hope of winning. More interesting is this note from NBC, which says that GA-Gov, VT-Gov and SC-Gov (all GOP-held seats) and IN-Sen (Dem) are all either “too early” or “too close” to call.
