Ralson has updated the blog. Summary:

Quote
Clark firewall now at 25,000, or just under 9 percent. Still below registration for Dems, but only by half a point. Statewide lead is now at 3.1 percent, or 1.500 ballots, which is slightly above registration, so a little breathing room for D incumbents, who surely cannot feel safe with that margin but perhaps can stop sweating so profusely. Repubs were unloading their confetti earlier today, now must put it away for a time.

“Disruptions, intimidation of voters—and if they did that during the primary, what do you think is gonna happen during the midterm?”
