Im reading that we are still counting. Is there a recount or runoff if the results are within 1%? Im so disappointed. How are you all?

(527 posts)Tester is +16 % in this counties with approx 20k votes left. It will be very close but I think he pulls off the win.

(4,602 posts)have looked at where the remaining votes are. Looks like a Tester is pretty strongly favored to win by a small margin.

(4,327 posts)The women running this thing have been going on their 45th hour straight. Yesterday we had about 75 people helping from the bottom to the top until 7 this morning then the day crew from yesterday went in today at 7am and left at 7 pm. The machine is still bonky but I am guessing we still have about 6 hours of about 3 dozen people to go tomorrow. There is still a small night crew on now. Yikes!!! The waiting to find out is pure torment.
I'm not in Gallatin anymore but I know the nature of the place, I thought Tester would have a bigger lead.

(4,327 posts)I would suck at phone calls and door knocking. I will let those who are more eloquent and have more self control. My mouth tends to run away from me.
You weren't one of my census workers were you? Just kidding. I am hard pressed to approach people so I look for other ways to participate too.
That gave me a chuckle.

(24,015 posts)I cant believe the time youve already put in....and theres more to go?? It was quite a rollercoaster this morning until Tester pulled significantly ahead. I thought about you in the heat of battle with the ballot counting. Hope you can get some rest tonight.
