Primary Results Time

It’s 8PM as I write this, and I’ll be covering the primary here and over on Twitter.

8:05:  Just waiting for results at the SOS website.  And waiting.

8:07:  And waiting.

8:12:  And waiting.

8:15:  And finally a result.  Sort of.  Lyle Koenen has two votes over Larry Rice in SD17.  That is two, as in 2 votes.  For the privilege of getting clobbered by Joe Gimse this fall.

8:23:  14 vote lead for Connie Doepke in SD33 with about 4% reporting.  Gonna be a long night.

8:30:  With about 10% of the votes in, Cindy Pugh beating Steve Smith 2:1 or more.

8:40:  No votes in from CD8 yet.  CD1 has 4% in, Alan Quist up by about ten.

9:07:  Big surge of votes for Osmek in SD33; he went from a five point deficit to well under a point.  Fingers crossed.   Pugh WAY up.

9:26:  Pugh’s been called the winner in HD33B.  She hammered Steve Smith by better than 2:1.  The west is red!  At the moment,with a little over 20% reporting, Osmek is behind by 35 votes.  He’s been picking up ground all evening (for the last hour and a half, anyway).

9:54: Cliff-hanger time.  Three precincts to go in SD33, Osmek behind by 12 votes.  He’s been gaining a few votes with every precinct all night; will he pull this out?  And will Doepke go for the recount if he does?  Looks like Quist is going to tip Parry.

10:36:  Still waiting on those last three precincts.  Going to bed.  This liveblog is over.  Good luck, Dave!
