Many ‘Top-of-Ticket’ Races Still Up in the Air

Share article:

Rachel Maddow did us the favor, last night, of rounding up the bulk of the “top-of-ticket” races from Tuesday which were still un-“called” as of last night…

There are still many more races undecided and going through calls for recounts, etc., around the country. Many of them are not “top-of-ticket” contests, so you may not yet have heard about many of them. I’ve been fielding calls and emails from representatives of many such campaigns over the last 24 hours or so while looking into various charges of irregularities, etc.

Also remember that in just about every race where you’ve heard a “winner” announced at this hour, those results are still un-official and un-canvassed for accuracy with virtually all of the ballots (where ballots actually exist) uncounted by nothing other than a computer tabulator. There has been virtually no human confirmation of accuracy of those (failure-prone and easily-manipulated) computer-reported results as of today.

Also remember that neither a media declaration of a “winner” nor a candidate’s concession has any actual legal meaning on the official results of any race. Clearly, there are a number of races where counting, canvassing, and contesting will be continuing for quite a while.
