Too Close To Call

Several of 21st Century Democrats’ endorsed candidates are still waiting to find out if they’ve won their elections.

Jeff Merkley – US Senate, Oregon
Speaker Merkley has a slight lead over GOP Senator Gordon Smith with 75% of the ballots counted. Oregonians vote exclusively by mail so they’re still waiting .
Smith concedes, JEFF MERKLEY WINS!

Jim Martin – US Senate, Georgia
Martin’s opponent, Senator Saxby Chambliss is just shy of the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff. It’s looking more and more likely that this pair will face off again on December 2nd.

Darcy Burner – US Congress, Washington 8th
Darcy Burner trails Rep. Dave by approximately 1 percentage point with about half of the votes counted. It may be the weekend before we know the outcome of this rematch from 2006.
Darcy Lost

Mary Jo Kilroy – US Congress, Ohio 15th
Mary Jo Kilroy is just 147 votes behind Steve Stivers out of more than 250,000 votes counted so far. Absentee ballots are expected to continue arriving throughout the weekend.

Frank Kratovil – US Congress, Maryland 1st
Kratovil has a razor-thin lead, but this thing is definitely headed for a recount.
KRATOVIL WINS!!!

Linda McCulloch – Secretary of State, Montana
McCulloch is approximately 4,400 votes ahead of her opponent with more than 470,000 counted. It appears that she will pull the race out, but no confirmation yet.
McCULLOCH WINS!!!

Hannah-Beth Jackson, California State Senate, 19th District
Jackson has a very slight lead in this extremely expensive State Senate contest, but thousands of provisional and absentee ballots still need to be counted.
JACKSON WINS!!!
