I'm not from Harrisburg, but Dan Miller is in my extended family, so I follow that race with some interest.

Well, OK, then you're off the hook for Obenshain.

Harrisburg PA, not Harrisonburg VA. Actually, digging deeper, AP reported it might be as low as 20%, and another outlet took that as fact. I haven't found the actual stats.

Are you sure it was that low?

Are you sure it was that low? Per this source, the state-wide voter turnout was a surprisingly large (almost) 43%, and the Augusta Free Press reports that the voter turnout in Harrisonburg was 43.8%, which given that Obenshain is from there (I blame you personally for that), maybe I'd prefer if the turnout was smaller there.

In the Harrisburg mayoralty race, Eric Papenfuse defeated Dan Miller with 3,618 out of 7,285 ballots cast. Despite Harrisburg's disastrous financial problems, voter turnout was less than 20 percent.

I've been noticing the trickling in of votes. Last night when I checked Herring was ahead by 32 votes. This morning he was behind by 681. Regardless of who wins this first round, there will be a recount.

I do have a question for more knowledgeable daggers, which I considered raising in a separate posting: how much power does a Republican AG have when working for a Democratic Governor?

It will be awhile until they

It will be awhile until they can call the AG because there is a lot of millitary deployed out of Va. As long as the ballot is post marked by 6 PM on Tuesday. The ships post mark them and send them in mail pick up. That was why Newport News was one of the last ones to finish counting.

I know I was there. It was estimated that 200,000 people could not vote because of the long lines. St. Pete had long lines last year. Tuesday's election the conservative incombant mayor lost in a land slide to a liberal. The first time a Democrat has held that seat since 1973 forty years ago.. African Americans and women turned out to vote. FL-13 is part of St. Pete so we will be sending in the spring Alex Sink to Congress. The first time a Democrat held that seat in 43 years. It is called a backlash.
