(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.
