You might be seeing old updates lol

Sedgewick county has about twice the population of the rest of the district combined. As far as I know only 66 precincts out of about 260 are reporting in there, and the race is already within 2%.

Does no one here understand that special elections typically have very low turnout and are not representative of a normal election?

Or the fact that the Dems put a tun of effort into a blue dog while shunning the Bernie bro?

Seems like this is all bad op, all bad.

So i know that precincts are different sizes, but Sedgewick has 191 that haven't reported yet

The entire rest of the district has less than 100 left

Maybe Trump's whole reason for running was to eventually put his son-in-law into power, overload him and burn him out and get Ivanka to divorce him.

It's sort of fun to do another election with you good people. It's ultimately an unimportant one but I am also glad to see people staking a little claim and shunning people who don't agree with their forecast. It's good to get this practice in before 2018.

Several added that they have tried to be creative in their approaches to the Trump administration, increasingly going outside the normal channels. Some said they have tried to leverage friendships with people in business who have ties to Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner or daughter Ivanka Trump to get access to those key members of Trump’s inner circle.

I'm not sure what news you have because it doesn't seem like any precincts have updated since I wrote my post. Nearly 200 out of the 330~ of the precincts not yet reporting are in Wichita, where Thompson is up 57-41.

Just a reminder that 500,000 of the 670,000 people who live in the 4th district live in Sedgewick county.

50% of precincts don't mean poo poo while Sedgewick still has about 200 to report.

The funny thing is they were harping about how amazing it was that the voting machines print out a paper ballot that is then put into another machine to be counted.
