(53,061 posts)There could be hundreds of thousands of walked in ballots as per the Hill.
No one knows how many or where and it takes a couple of days to examine the signatures on the envelopes, get accepted and count them.
In canvassing I met a lot of Dems who wanted to walk their mail in ballot in to make sure it was counted.

No one knows how many there are or what districts they come from
The Hill has a report but I am on the phone and can't link

(62,287 posts)They had mail in votes but rather than mailing them in they took them to a voting center? Didn't think about that. I don't think that'll be enough to change the tide, though.

I am confident that we will close the gap but don't know if it is enough.
If we win by less than 100 I am taking person credit for the win

(4,572 posts)but he only trails by 3000 in in the race overall. Less than half of Gallatin counted, where Tester leads by 6000. The rest of the state is a wash at best for Rosendale. Not sure if absentees have been counted, but they likely lean toward Tester. Looks like Tester can't lose absent the to-be-expected GOP attempts to cheat.

(87,095 posts)Gallatin and Missoula are the most blue counties in the state so I expect that Tester can pull out a win in the end. Used to vote in Gallatin County. Aside from that, there are the absentee ballots, one third of all votes cast are absentee, mine is.
I am now more hopeful than I was ten minutes ago. I'm really bummed about Williams losing to that fucking dickhead body slammer. We have ONE Rep in the House and it's that POS who is a former business partner with the R Senator for the state. At least we have a good Democratic Governor who got us expanded medicaid in spite of our R legislature.
