I’m heading off to bed, but here are the numbers from NY-23 and the Hate Amendment in Maine.
It looks like I was wrong on NY-23. Owens could win, though I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Unfortunately, I was right on Maine. The bigots won again.
88% reporting N.Y. District 23
| Candidate | Party | Votes | Pct. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bill Owens | Dem. | 60,458 | 49.0% | |
| Doug Hoffman | Con. | 56,174 | 45.5 | |
| Dede Scozzafava | Rep. | 6,796 | 5.5 | |
It looks to me like Hoffman would need to pull in more than 60% of the remaining votes to win this, but I think that the wingnut precincts are reporting late.
