Fragile Bird Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 If tomorrow Lamb is up by even just a couple of hundred votes, I wouldn't worry about the recount. Generally speaking the votes have to be a hell of a lot closer, like 10, for a chance of a change in the result. Unless there were a lot of spoiled ballots, a significant number compared to the vote margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 But we still have two precincts from Westmoreland county don't we? It seems like those could easily give Saccone a 1,000 vote margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Yeah since Washington Co. is gonna count em tonight, we'll get a definitive result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazydog7 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Its crazy that we are talking about my Grandmother's home county on the national news. I was up there is September of '16 and all I saw were Trump signs. That we are even talking about a face which should have been such an easy win for Republicans is mind boggling.

So, no, I don't think anything close to that margin is possible in two precincts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen estimated around a +200 for Saccone in those two precincts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The largest precincts I'm seeing in the three other counties have over 1,000 votes cast, although you're right the average is closer to 3-400. And that's total votes. The largest margin I'm seeing (just scanning the map) is Peters D-1 in Washington County, which Saccone won by 262 votes. So best case scenario for Saccone on those two precincts is probably +500, and +200 is a lot more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like those could easily give Saccone a 1,000 vote margin. Ok, 69,056 votes have been reported so far. There are 193 precincts. That's an average of 358 votes per precinct, maybe 716 votes. Maybe they are bigger precincts. But maybe that means 400 votes for Seccone. eta: votes in Westmoreland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
