We said there were two precincts left where trump had done really well in 2016, we expected that 748 to erode a little bit. looks like that happened. every election day vote in the entire district has been counted. that was all that was left election day. but we also now have the absentee ballots for westmoreland. of the 3,000 that were still out, 1,800 of them were from westmoreland. when you look at saccones running less than trump, democrats do better in the absentee, doesnt like saccone much...

It would have been worse? the other end of pennsylvania is also important. i dont see a pathway tonight for how republicans keep the house in november. its hard to see a pathway for republicans holding a majority in november, given the fact that this was a 20-point seat that they nearly lost or perhaps lost tonight. >> maria, im not trying to be a shameless promoter, counting down to this result, but the enthusiasm and the organization on each side, david mentions the republican effort sort of c...

Way are the ways others think, and you start to look at counties like greene county and you realize, hey, thats a little different. even close to pittsburgh. its nothing like what you think of when you think of the pittsburgh pirates. >> steve kornacki has that look in his eye. >> i think weve got it answered as clearly as we can be. we just heard its going to take a few hours to get the absentee ballots here in washington county counted. were looking at 1195 that were requested. the question he...

None of the news networks have made a call in the pennsylvania special election yet. including nbc news. but at 11:15 eastern dave wasserman of the cook politico report tweeted this, barring major tabulation error, conor lamb has defeated rick saccone in pa 18. dave, thank you for joining these districts. you know them better than anyone else. 579 is margin, republicans say not giving up. you standing by this declaration? >> i am. and you know every bit as much as i do about outstanding ballots ...

That takes us to one more class of ballots that is still out there and has come into the picture. these are people who showed up at the polls today and they had some kind of an issue. they were challenged on their residen residency, their status as a voters is yet to be determined. they cast whats known as a provisional ballot. we dont have a number on this but we think there are in the low hundreds, a couple hundred maybe of provisional ballots. but provisional ballots tend to be very democrati...

Republican, look at this, 547. so that was what we suspected was going to happen. it is a republican county, but we were saying the absentees were favoring lamb throughout the district. we saw it in allegheny. we saw it in westmoreland, we said we think well see it in washington, but we have to see to say we saw it. now we see it. he beat out rick saccone in the absentee ballots. so that increases his lead there district wide just a little bit. so we say he is the apparent winner. it is a very c...
