The polls will be closing in about ten minutes.
Anybody got suggestions for good websites to keep track of the returns on?
I figure we should have results by about 11:00, but I don't think this will be big enough news for any of the nightly newscasts to report on it.

Which by-laws, and in what way? *a bit lost...*

Wasn't there some really gross provision voted in in the chaos of the state convention that basically let the officers of the state party override the results of a primary election if they felt like it? Some sort of reaction to the Sciortino victory...

From a message I just dug up from last May:

"- The Vinnie Ciampa clause, allowing the party leadership to oppose an
unexpected winner like Carl in the general election."

Oh, I see, you mean if Elizabeth Moroney decides to be a sore loser and run a write-in campaign as an independent against the Democratic nominee, and elected members of the Democratic Party decide to support her anyway, could they evade party penalties? Umm, perhaps. Ain't gonna happen. Moroney's not the sort of person to do that.

Coulda fooled me from the tone she took in some of her mailings...

That's very good to hear.

She conceded, and came over to the Provost election night party afterward. I chatted with her briefly there (though not about whether she'd run as an independent, that thought didn't enter my mind).

Moroney won't run a sticker campaign. As everyone else has observed, she and Provost agree on almost all issues. Also, it would be suicidal after being beaten in the primary by a 23-13 margin. The only two sticker campaigns in my memory came after extremely close primary elections (Piro-Albano in 1984, Sciortino-Ciampa in 2004).
