Election Results: Lamont wins, Lieberman makes excuses
This thread will be used to update the election results coming out of Connecticut:
Ned Lamont (143,363) - 51.81%
Joe Lieberman (133,323) - 48.19%
97.99% Precincts Reporting
*Last Update: 11:19 PM ET
*While addressing supporters, Joe Lieberman, the loser tonight, said, "You can go to my web site, Joe2006.com, when it is unhacked."
Lieberman is addressing supporters as I write this. He used a sports analogy to basically say that he is running as an independent. So much for honoring the voters that showed up at the polls
Were they hacked by Lamont?

With 19% of results left, (81% reporting) Lieberman needs to win 25,000 votes of a possible 42,000 votes left, with Lamont getting the other 17,000, to over come the 8000 vote deficit. That is not going to happen given today's results.

Great point. I'm just about ready to call this thing. Maybe within the next 15 min.
