I'm not seeing the race called for Yvette Clarke despite being up by 27k and other races being called with slimmer margins and the same precincts -- (edited)

reported.

They’re not allowed to start counting absentee ballots for a week, and apparently some places have more absentee than in person. -- nm - mafic Jun 24, 05:39 9
- Her numbers are in line with others in neighboring areas and her opponent would need every absentee ballot to go their way. - Krusty without grass Jun 24, 05:44 8
  - Dunno. Each district would at least know how many absentee ballots they’ve mailed out, and it may not be uniform. - mafic Jun 24, 05:52 6
    - Last primary there were 30k votes tallied. They're at 57k right now so a lot more people showed up to vote this year and many more chose Clarke. - Krusty without grass Jun 24, 05:56
    - uh huh. -- nm - Diva Jun 24, 05:53
    - I'm sure the BOE knows, but they aren't the ones "calling" the races, the news media is -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 05:53 3
      - Sure, but NYT has only called a few dem primaries. Some are higher margins, some are lower. I wouldn’t be surprised if they knew how many absentee - mafic Jun 24, 06:12
      - AND, there are already almost *double* the total votes of the close 2018 primary race that she won - ty97 Jun 24, 05:58 1
        
        I get being cautious this year with all of the absentee ballots but this race is over and should have been called already. - Krusty without grass Jun 24, 06:01
  - It's 62.3% to 17.9%. I think they can safely call the race with 57k votes tallied. That's more than the total votes in the last primary. -- (edited) - Krusty without grass Jun 24, 05:51
well you know, the whole black woman thing and all... -- nm - Diva Jun 24, 05:26 3
- Yeah, it's a little odd to me and that crossed my mind. - Krusty without grass Jun 24, 05:33 2
  - She had the same primary challenger in 2018 and it was close, 53-47. It's not even a ballgame this year. - ty97 Jun 24, 05:37 1
    - Yup. Her numbers are beyond what absentee ballots can make up and she's beyond others that have been called with less votes and less of a lead -- nm - Krusty without grass Jun 24, 05:45
yeah, seems pretty weird -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 05:22
