Once again, we are seeing Republicans take a larger share of the total ballot count, while the Democrat share diminishes.
Yesterday’s results showed Democrats with 166,605 votes, which accounted for 40.0% of total ballots returned. Today their share of the total ballots returned has slipped to 39.3%, while Republicans saw an uptick in their portion of the returns, moving from 33.9% to 34.2%. Not as big of a shift as compared to yesterday, but still trending in the right direction.
