James, for the record I'm predicting a wellspring of disenchantment over the endless vitriol emanating from supporters of the two frontrunners, producing a last minute flash-mob style protest write-in campaign for Gladys Huber. Gladys pulls it out with 42.8% of the vote, collapses while celebrating her victory at the Glen Cafe and is rushed to the hospital where it's determined that she's not healthy enough to serve. Runner up, Hari Trivedi (who benefitted from an alternate flash-mob write-in protest effort) is declared the victor by default.
Barrett 54% fraudulent votes 10%
Very nice - you're the first to give a prediction on the number of fraudulent votes being cast! So, without the fraud, you have Walker with a win at 65%!
If only you realized! James Riddle Hoffa was an extremely conservative man. He didn't believe in pubic sector unions and would be greatly disappointed at what the unions have turned into.
Lehman 52.1%
Walker , Scott (i) GOP 1,334,450 53% Barrett , Tom Dem 1,162,785 46% Trivedi , Hari Ind 14,350 1% _____________________________ Total Votes 2,511,585 = 53.13178%
If so, it's Greg. Is Monty 'Let's make a Deal' Hall available to make the final decision??
We had 18 people who picked between 52.0% and 53.9%, so we're going to wait for the GAB to give us the final numbers.
Hang-in-there GAB, we got money on ya.
