By Vince Leibowitz on Feb 14, 2006 in 2006 Texas Elections      
(Earlier Updates Below the Fold)
BOR Reports Bentzin has conceded!!!!!
It’s about time to call this one. I’ll say Howard 59.12/Bentzin 40.88 (Updated at 8:59: Karl-T says the pcts out are Bentzin precincts, so I’ll go with the first prediction or this one: Howard 57.59/Bentzin 42.41
Don’t forget about the liveblogging at BOR!
8:38 pm
Donna Howard (DEM) 9,656 58.82%
Ben Bentzin (REP) 6,761 41.18%
8:30–Donna Howard (DEM) 6,785 58.14%
Ben Bentzin (REP) 4,885 41.86%
Her lead grows!8:15–Travis Co. Clerk reports that with 3 of 39 boxes in, Howard still holds her lead:
Donna Howard (DEM) 5,030 56.04%
Ben Bentzin (REP) 3,946 43.96%
STILL NOTHING NEW at 7:41, but Karl-T over at BOR is liveblogging Donna’s watch party.
