Huge turnout in Lamb areas.  No shock.

You're 100% right. It was to be expected.

Not that it matters in this one maybe... but where is the Green party candidate... the Communist party candidate?

Too bad, Rep could have used those votes.

3,000 or so absentee ballots.  These are usually older people - would older people in Penn. likely be Republican or Democrat?  Anyone know?

And yet a 1% spread with 13% left.  I have not looked at precinct level data. Depending on what has reported... may be interesting either way.

I think it depends on individual areas where they live.  Those who live in or closer to Pittsburgh are more likely Democrat.  Suburban and rural areas may be more Republican.

Lamb now leads by only a half percentage point.  Going to be a squeaker.

This is already a very old-trending district, old and white (95%+), so I don't know that we can guess.

That would be strange state law if precincts didn't have to report tonight.

It's been a while since I served as a Judge of Elections, but I don't recall any law against it.  Then again, it never came close to being an issue, even in 2000.

 Not sure what you are looking at.  The Times has Westmoreland for Saccone.

This whole damn race is utterly meaningless as they will have to run again in a few months. I just don't want to hear the media and the Democrats gloat about it for that time.

If there is a recount, equal number of Rep and Dems do the recount.

CNN just said there are 7,000 absentee ballots.  I heard guy who brought those ballots in say they would be counted by midnight.  Those 7,000 would decide this if we stay at about 50-50 until they are counted.
