Trial Balloon · Ep. 192: November Surprises

Results We Still Don’t Know

November 7, 2018 · 7:25 am ET · Leave a Comment

There are still many high profile races which are not yet called, per Axios:

  • In Georgia’s gubernatorial race, Stacey Abrams (D) has vowed not to concede against her opponent Brian Kemp (R) until “every vote gets counted.” Kemp currently holds 50.5% of the vote, but the race could face a runoff if neither candidate ultimately ends up over 50%.
  • In Arizona’s Senate race, Martha McSally (R) is up on Kyrsten Sinema (D) 49.3% to 48.5% with about 99.3% reporting. The Arizona Republic notes “an official victor may not be known for days — and maybe longer, if the final tally were to trigger a recount or legal challenge.”
  • In Florida’s Senate race, Rick Scott (R) is up on Sen. Bill Nelson (D) 50.2% to 49.8% with 100% reporting. Scott has declared victory, but the race is statistically too close to call and an automatic recount will take place if the margin of victory remains less than 0.5%.
  • In Montana’s Senate race, Sen. Jon Tester is down 48.2% to 48.9% against challenger Matt Rosendale (R) with about 82% reporting and the race still too close to call.

Use the comments to discuss other races that are still too close to call.
