Maybe I’m just guilty of glass half full thinking but this seems right to me. So many of the red counties are in and there is so much blue to be counted.

I’m not seeing why CNN seems to be saying Jones should start feeling nervous.

exactly. if nyt is only using raw county data, it is really skewed. you have to drill down to the precinct, and it's not clear that they did.

Guys, Remember. If Jones wins, that means Trump backed Strange and lost. Then he backed Moore and lost again.

What bothers me about the NYT needle is that with 65% of precincts fully reporting, the model still has a range of 22 points (Jones +12 to Moore +10).

Even a poll of a few dozen random people on the street might not have that big of a margin of error.

Nearly every red county at 100% reporting or close to it.

A lot of blue counties yet to be counted.

And if Moore wins, here’s a sarcastic congrats to you on supporting a lunatic who had sexual relations with 14 year olds when he was in his 30s! MAGA

If NYT isn't using precinct level data in their stupid tracker I'm done with them forever.
