to go to taped programming. stuff that ran earlier in the evening. please know, stay tuned if you re interested in getting these numbers, because we will break in as soon as we get them. i will do it. i can t leave here until i get to these numbers. please stay up with me. let me reset for everyone what exactly it is we re looking for. what the stakes are for the next few minutes, however long it takes. the margin is 579 votes. that is what coneaor lamb leads by. he declared victory tonight. his opponent is conceding nothing. what this is coming down to is wash coun washington county. the number is 1195, that s how many they are running through the machines right now. it is a republican district. for saccone to have a chance to win this election, he s got to cut severely into that 579. what he s up against is this.
completed. that they re now doing the scan, the ballot scan in those 40 remaining precincts, when that is done, if this holds we will then know who won those 1200 votes, 1195 to be exact, in washington county, those absentee votes. and remember, it needs to be, saccone needs a big number here. he s trying to cut into a 579-vote lead for conor lamb. that s where they stood. we got that update in the last two minutes. any update i get i am going to share with you. i promise you, whatever happens to our programming tonight, i am staying up, and i want you to stay up with me, because i want us to all find out together in this county. we cannot invest this much time, this much energy and be killing ourself with a lack of sleep tomorrow without at least finding out how the county voted. please stay up with me, and i promise to stay up with you. we are going to bring in jason johnson at the root.com. jonathan alter, caitlin huey
then you have greene. i think they went to sleep. they re probably going to be counted tomorrow. how candidate race go on election day? 58% for saccone, a very small county. again, if that trend held, that number might be a little different in the absentee ballot. so absentee, and beyond that, military and provisional. military is going to be a very small number. we talked to somebody in washington county, they said there are 14 military ballots in that entire county. they re going to have a week to get those in and count those. but there s a total of 14 at the most. you can expect similarly low numbers. the rest of the district might be an area where saccone could cut into the lead. provisional, let s see the expectation here. es personalespecially in allegh. those are a little more favorable to lamb. you can look at these other
