Who wins
99+ in 100John J. Kulewicz’s chance of winning
The count should finish around D+0.6, most likely between D+0.5 and D+0.7.
About 99% of the vote we expect is counted, and 88 of 88 counties finished.
The estimate uses only the official count by county. The vote still to come in each place is expected to lean the way that place has voted so far, with room for late ballots to lean differently. Where nothing is counted yet, our pre-election estimate for that place stands in, adjusted for how far the counted places ran from it. This is not a call.
