Precin precinct. it could come in shy of 1700, we dont know. >> we could be shifting to allegheny and by midnight tonight we expect to know. >> if we were to project some kind of tie coming out of the little package we just talked about in those precincts tonight, we would not be projecting a tie coming out of those 1400 ballots inial gain a. that would be projecting very much in favor of lamb. >> were looking at more than 1400, i think, outallegheny. the world is full of surprises from the era ...

Common wealth in pennsylvania will have eight days to decide on recount. campaign could petition. secretary makes that call. and provisional ballots, maybe i.d. issue, something like that, counted in seven days. it does occur to me, listening to what vaughn just said, rule is house is the ultimate judge of its elections and republicans do control the house. there are moments in congressional history with disputed elections. bloody eighth in indiana, 84/85, democrats wouldnt seat the republican. ...

Got something from the absentees but i think this might have been the last two precincts we were talking about. that might be the election day vote. if thats the election day vote, then what we were just talking about goes doubly because the lions share doing well in allegheny, the democrats doing especially well in the absentee ballots. >> i have to ask you graphically over your other shoulder the viewers can see, it says 98% in. is that us? will that automatically update, and is 98% kind of th...

Saccone, but thats it. youre going to have scores or dozens of military votes, low hundreds of provisionals. what saccone needs, and he needs it in this hour, when they release that number from washington, he needs a big number out of washington county. i think hes got to do probably better than he did in the election day vote there. hes got to probably improve on that 53%. you could get a big number, multiply it into the 1,200 outstanding ballots. maybe he could start to eat into it. it is a ma...
