VA: So how does it work that Lt. Gov. & AG races are pro-Dem but not GOV?

[Carolab]

I SMELL A RAT!!!!!!!

1. it's been bouncing all around.

2. Big difference in number of votes

Gov - 500,000
Lt. Gov - 338,000

Apparently, many people only vote for Governor? Although somewhat smaller % count for Lt. Gov. so far.

[eek MD]

3. Different percentages of precincts reporting for different races. N/t

4. Is Potts the Nader of this race? I wonder how much of an impact

he will have made (depending on the outcome).

[Carolab]

5. Well, if they're gonna cheat...

They would put enough in his column to make a difference, but they want people to think people are still pro-Bush/Repub, so...they'll be padding Kilgore more.

[FSogol]

6. Too small of a sample (27%) to tell

Plus Kaine is in the lead right now.

7. Kaine is ahead now. I'm turning on local coverage.

[Carolab]

8. Now it's flipped!

I don't get it.

Now the Republicans are ahead for the Lt. Gov. and AG?

What?

And why aren't all of these results coming in/being reported simultaneously?

The percent reporting on all three races should be the same!

9. A lot of Republicans were turned off by Kilgore's smear campaign

He didn't present his position on issues, rather he slung mud at Kaine. I think in the long run it hurt him. As for Lt. Governor, I don't think that the Democrat ran a very strong campaign.
