They’re not allowed to start counting absentee ballots for a week, and apparently some places have more absentee than in person. -- nm

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

  - 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
