1. Just after posting this, I saw the bad news. Smith is up by several points, but is it over?

3. They reported on NPR a little while ago
that it was too close to call; one more county not done counting. A liberal county, and that a winner might not be announced until later today.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

8. Most uncounted ballots are from Multnomah & Lane counties.
Voting from both counties has thus far favored Merkley. Keep your fingers crossed that we get to boot Gordo!

9. It hasn't been called yet
And from the reports I've seen, the majority of uncounted votes are in Multnomah and Lane Counties. Merkley has to pick up a lot of votes, but there are a lot of votes to be picked up in those two counties. It ain't over til it's over, as a great philosopher once said.
