1. I love how they call these things with less than 1/5 of the votes counted

Well, perhaps "love" isn't the right word...

3. If it were 25% or 50% of the vote, I'd accept those results, but

their sign shows 6% of precincts reporting.

If it's anything like any of the states I've lived in, different sections of the state have different political cultures.

For example, in the 2002 election in Oregon, in which I volunteered, the D and R gubernatorial candidates went back and forth all night, with only some late results from Portland and the college towns giving the edge to the Democrat.

4. that is the part I do not understand.

6 percent and you can call the election .. really.
at least they waited until the polls close so it
really doesn't effect voters going to the polls.

2. he and supporters (Koch bros) outspent his opponent 2:1.. no surprise there.
