As of the close of business on Monday, the following is the initial tally of late-breaking election night statewide primary results in the states most competitively contested for 2020:
New Jersey: Jim McGreevey for governor, Steven Fulop for mayor
Virginia: Ed Gillespie for governor
Florida: Ron DeSantis for governor
Colorado: Walker Stapleton for governor, Jared Polis for governor
Virginia: Gillespie for the U.S. Senate
Colorado: Stapleton for governor
Georgia: Brian Kemp for governor
This results are from the most current source, Nate Silver’s Intrade political finance prediction market, and they are tempered by recent allegations of at least one Russian purchase of contracts in the United States through the United States to influence American elections. On Wednesday, Facebook officially confirmed that a campaign bought 2,737 ads, totaling 75,000 impressions, during the period covered by the ads.
So far, as of the early afternoon on Wednesday, as of the close of business on Monday, the following is the official tally of late-breaking election night results in the states most competitively contested for 2020:
Florida: DeSantis for governor
New Jersey: McGreevey for governor, Fulop for mayor
Virginia: Gillespie for governor
Colorado: Stapleton for governor
Georgia: Kemp for governor
Virginia: Democrat Danica Roem for state house of delegates, Democrat Justin Fairfax for lieutenant governor
This result is from the most recent source, Nate Silver’s Intrade political finance prediction market, and it is tempered by the possibility of foreign interference in the United States, as well as a host of other factors: Even before the national convention this week, the party held 81 percent of competitive races in Virginia, 59 percent in Florida, and 54 percent in New Jersey, according to Hillary Clinton’s own campaign website, which tracks who is or is not running against Clinton’s numbers or is the party’s favorite.
