Missouri: Talent Versus McCaskill

[Nbadan]

Still not very many votes counted in this Senate race:

Talent v. McCaskill:
Precincts Reporting 1142 of 3746 (30.48%)


Talent - 353,088 53.7%
McCaskill - 280,253 42.6%

Looks to me more like a 9 point lead with 30% counted.

Anyone getting any feedback on why this isn't closer? Are the rural areas reporting first like Virginia?

Talent is gonna lose.

Precincts in STL and KC are not in yet. Heavy Dem areas.

Yeah McCaskill has it in the bag.

[Nbadan]

There is still concern because many polls were open late in Republican country because of a power shortage in the area.
