Lake County in Indiana is currently holding up its results until it gets all of its votes counted in all precincts and absentees. One of the CNN commentators just called it suspicious that they hold it up and compared it to the way they used to do things in Chicago and Texas where they waited to find out how many votes they needed and then delivering.
I guess there's no need for me to say that in the past three elections featuring Travis Childers for this House seat, most of the heavy Travis counties didn't report until all of their counting was done, and their reporting reversed heavy leads by his opponents in all three elections. And most unusually, the democratic primary runoff saw a few of his counties have higher turnout than in the record setting democratic primary that had the Barack/Hillary race to draw people in (as well as three other House candidates).
But I'm not bitter...
