This isn't over yet. Cruz's lead is about 75K votes. Election day vote in Travis county alone makes that up.
Travis County election day votes should be O'Rourke by about 50-55K.

I think Beto is running out of steam. I don't think the 16% reporting in Harris County is indicative of the outstanding vote. Vote totals look WAY too high to just be 1/6 of total vote in that county.
Yes, for some reason the various sites report early voting totals as a precinct and the percentage you then see is the percents of "precincts" that have reported.
Even though early voting will be somewhere around 70%+ of total votes.

In other important news and a slight break from the politics, Andrew Jones just checked into the basketball game for Texas.

Yeah, that's the Harris County early voting being added.

Harris one precinct on NYT - 479k to 356k O'rouke over Cruz.
I believe that "precinct" is early voting. Same deal on your next post.

That's only a 30K net bump for Gillum.

Travis County never posted a 7pm update. How rude.

Democrats lead in both Mississippi Senate races with [checks notes] fewer than 500 votes counted.

Did the CNN map just show WillCo blue?
Yes, O'Rourke and Hegar won the early voting. That is all that has been reported from there.

The 538 live odds seem to fluctuate a bit. Looking good for Republicans, but I went back to their main election page and it said 53% chance for Democrats to control the House, then reloaded to make sure I had the latest data and it said Democrats had a 61% chance to control the house.

Where are you getting the county results? Texas SOS website is slow.
Straight from county websites.

Williamson County early voting results:
That's a big lead in non straight ticket voters for O'Rourke. O'Rourke got 39,814 votes from non Democrat straight ticket voters, Cruz got 25,661 from non GOP straight ticket voters.
Of course suburbia was supposed to be good for O'Rourke relative to previous Texas elections.

2018 has now passed 2016 for Election Day voter check-ins in Travis County for the first time. Total voter check-ins through 6:00pm:
2016 - 95,641
2018 - 96,509 -
Damn, I thought I was in the gameday thread. Yes, constant updates shouldn't be in here.

This thread is going to be pretty funny. Updates on each election as the next 1% reports.

Every polling place should have a worker with Google translate on their phone.Just helped a woman in Santa Fe who couldn't operate the voting machines and spoke only Spanish at a precinct that didn't have any Spanish-speaking poll workers. So she's going to vote, and she wouldn't have been able to otherwise.
Feels good, man--feels good. -

First instinct is to attribute North Dakota to the oil boom but the boom maxed out in 2013 or so, right?

CNN says first wave has Trump approval -11 (44-55)
They released a poll yesterday that had it 39-55 heading into the election. That 44-55 isn't actually good news for Democrats relative to expectations.
-
There is little to no rhyme or reason on the patterns.
Totals through 4:00pm:
2016 - 79,702
2018 - 78,456 -
I know, First Amendment, but releasing exit poll data before polls close just isn't right.First exit polls incoming! Gird your loins time. -
If turnout continues like this throughout Texas I will have to modify my Cruz by 4-6% prediction to Cruz by 3-5%.
I know, I'm a wild man. -
It's essentially a game thread that's been around for over 7 months, and now it's gameday. Of course the thread is going to turn to shit.

As mentioned elsewhere, it's because all the reporting services are treating early voting results as a single precinct in each county. It's absurd. If 6.1 million votes are in then you're looking at 85% or so of the votes counted.
